Ha; it seemed like finally -- after all this time -- Her Majesty was here. The fabled Liliana -- "the savior of this world". He had no quarrels with her, but at the same time, he really had nothing to say. Hello? Goodbye? Wasn't like it mattered. All he hoped was that she wasn't on some sort of "O Righteous" mission to bring this land to her ideals. Normally, that would've been fine, if it was Elizabeth or one of those other people wanting to rule Luray. But unlike them, he was not weak. And he had nothing to say to her. Perhaps he was being a bit defensive -- even unnecessarily so -- but his years as a king had long-since hardened him. He had no room for the sort of "hope" this woman may have wanted to give him. The only thing she had ever done for him was to allow others into the spire. That was when he met Vincent; the first and only person he had ever loved. But time had evolved since then and so had he, and now, his heart was nothing but jaded. In the end, even her misdirect actions had only managed to bring him pain. So obviously, one could expect at least this and nothing more; that he wanted this woman gone -- far away from his home. The home he had placed so much into... to protect.
It wasn't his fault it was this way, either. A few years back, almost directly after his coronation, Amaranthine was struck by a great Elder Wurm; something only once in even a few centuries allowed into the world. Obviously, it could only be expected that he was blamed for the mass and numerous amounts of death it had wrought. "Maybe if you were stronger", or; "Maybe if you had been watching closer than that". There were enough maybes in this world to pile ladders upon corpses; but these uncertainties only kept coming. The people fell far from loving him; and soon, he was treated with only scorn. Obviously... he wasn't very loved, either. But he had done the best he could since then to patch everything up. The entire city was just as if it had never been nearly destroyed, and the people now were living better lives; even if there was only a few. But he... he wasn't living that way at all. He was living empty, just like when he was a child. He couldn't help but be bitter, then -- to this girl before him. Because he expected so much from her -- expected that maybe, she could save him from his sorrow; just like she had saved all the rest. But there was nothing in his heart left to save.
He knew she was blind, but it wasn't like if he simply stayed put and muttered nothing that she would lose his trail and go away. Simply by acknowledging her, he had released all of the necessary fuel for her to catch onto where he was. It was only a matter of time. So, then... it was pointless to ignore her. It would've looked better for him if he simply... let her have her way. It wasn't that he feared her, no -- because he was a near-Master level mage, just as she was. He had been almost impossibly strong, since those days. But he just thought... that maybe her intentions weren't ill. It was something to hope for, at least, right? That not everyone in this world was bad? "Hello..." The man spoke, with the voice and posture of a king, yet the silence of the night. He didn't know what else to say, really; he just wondered why she was here. This woman -- after all -- was someone important. She shouldn't have been... tarnishing her name by hanging around... this lonely scum who played King. But maybe, it didn't just have to be a little act, anymore. Maybe she... she could teach him... how to be loved; loved like a leader.

Liliana almost cried in happiness when she saw Xander's energy and he replied. "Thank the Divine someone is still around," she said as she walked over. Manners preceded all and she gave him the bow he was due from one ruler to another. Her mind picked up his thoughts as she bowed and a sad look formed on her face. As she stood back up, she wiped it away. "How many still remain, King Xander?" she asked quietly, as though her voice would scare the precious few away.

Rachel Altair Biochemist / Rouge / Darkness / Prismatic Opal of Deception / Adept / Shape-Shifter/ Energy: 1350/1350 <~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~> Rachel gave Xander a small bow seeing as she was on Liliana's shoulder in her usual cat form, but then again because of the Opal of deception Xander or anyone wouldn't know it was her. She had known Xander for a while but never got to talk to him, but her mind kept wondering why he was here of all places. 'you cant sense how many people are here?' Rachel asked Liliana through her mind since she knew Liliana could hear her thoughts. Rachel was really wondering how Liliana couldn't sense anyone, cause she could sense people just by the energy. <~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>

At least she was... polite. She referred to him as King Xander; not speaking to him as if he was a mislead child, just like all the rest. Or well, the others referred to him by his title; but only because they feared that he would reap their souls and bring back their loved ones to haunt them. He didn't even know how those rumors began; for he had done nothing to trigger them. But it was fine. He was used to the cold despair of these lands. At least it was somehow brighter than the surface above. "Not many--" The man said, although it was obvious that he was reluctant. He spoke further but his words were not spoken carefully; maybe it was because the anger had really gotten to his mind. After all, things were only worse, lately. How could anyone have expected his demeanor to stay the same? "And it's all my fault, everyone will tell you. All my fault for not being strong; not being as strong as that man; and for not being as perfect and coordinated as their lovely old Elizabeth. And even when I did put an end to it, I was spat at and scorned for not ending it sooner." He didn't need to explain just what he was saying; because with her eye, and with her mind, she would have already known. She was her, after all -- the one who didn't know what privacy even was. It wasn't that he disliked that, though -- at least she... would be able to understand. At least she -- unlike all others -- would be able to see that inside him, he sincerely believed that he tried his best; that he worked until the end.
"Obviously, anyone can see that these lands are hardly very united right now. We don't really have a strong military force, either. Most of them died trying to ensure that the commoners survived -- not that it really helped. The commoners still died, hoards upon hoards. And the perpetrator was pretty damn hungry. We've lost thousands so far -- and even now that he's dead, our weak state allows for "visitors" such as Arachni or smaller, less-organized forces of Wurms to assault our city day-by-day. Our growth of population is about as large as our number of deaths; but the thing is, it isn't the commoners who die -- it's the soldiers. Amaranthine's military force is about one-tenth of the force of what it was before the attack. To be frank, I believe that we are all going to die. Everything would be fine if people were okay with me reviving the dead and using them as guards to protect the city; but everyone casts that idea as vile. And now, they're going to join their dead forefathers, aren't they? Maybe it's what they deserve." He spoke quickly and each word carried such a great amount of disdain. It was obvious that he was scarred by the people of this land and this world; and all that they had done to him. It wasn't even a surprise that he thought the way he did; not after all of the sorrow he had been given undeserved. He always tried his best -- always. Always cried over the corpses of both old and young; as if they were his own. And they were, weren't they? Even though they didn't treat him as if he was theirs.
He didn't mean his words; but he wished that he could. He wished that he could've been so strong as to be able to say those things with a meaning hidden within. But the words were only a product of despair. He had to be joined by another, though, didn't he? A little cat. But something told him that this "kitten" was more than met the eye. It wasn't really even so much as intuition that led him to believe this; simply the fact that -- by experience -- he had been hardened. Hardened to accept that nothing was as it seemed; not even a black little cat, prowling upon the Seer's shoulder. No, it was probably a magical cat; or not even a cat at all. ''So, Liliana -- why are you here, I wonder? Did you hear of our despair? Did you come to save those who can no longer be saved? I'd like that, y'know; compassion--" He started -- words calm yet so full of pleading and desire-- "Love." He didn't want to be wary of her. He just wanted... just wanted to be saved. From all of this -- the anguish that had been wrought.

I sense the energy but not all of them belong to here, she said into Rachel's mind. But one knows how a ruler rules if they know the answer themselves She smiled to Xander. "Elizabeth was many things but she was also many things they ignore now because she is gone." She shook her head, her smile fading. "And despite it all, you still know the people need someone to watch over them. They despair against you because of things you could not control. The minds and voices speak the same across our world. All are output with their rulers because of the mass deaths and missing people." Looking back to Xander, she nodded. "I and my own are on a search mission. To find out just how badly the people need help. I believe you can use the efforts of what few children of The Spire I have left. And no. I do not ask in return. Just that we can try to rebuild those who need it most." Thoughts of the Sins far from her mind now, she knew there was much work to do to help everyone get back some semblance of normal life.

Sadly i cant sense as far as you since my energy can only go about as far as the palace grounds if i spread it out thin.' Rachel told her through the telepathy as she noticed Xander look specifically at her. Rachel was rather sure that Xander couldn't tell who or what she was since the prismatic opal cloaked her very being from everyone, including Liliana, although Lili would always know who Rachel was since she stayed around her all the time. Right about now Rachel gave out a small kitten like "mew" just to fool Xander into thinking she was only Liliana's pet kitten and not a shape-shifting being of darkness. <~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>

Liliana spoke truly; for sure, and she agreed with him. If Elizabeth was still alive, and if she were the one to fail in ending the life of the beast, then she would be treated all the same. Perhaps a bit easier -- though -- because she was a girl. Maybe she would've been seen as delicate... someone who could lead behind their front line. Not like him -- who everyone expected to do everything with his own hands. It was just a theory, though -- and he didn't put much thought into whether it was true or not. The reason was simply that it didn't matter. In the time he knew Elizabeth, he loved her. And every single day of his life, he looked up to her for courage and strength. He prayed to whatever absent God existed within this world to please bring her back to this nation that needed her so much. Even though he knew she would never come back; never return. At least not the way she was; the kind and valiant queen that had held him high in regard and had taken him into her home. It was that day that he became royal; but that was only his misery -- only his misfortune.
Now that he thought of it, though -- he really had no idea what she could've done for him. He could've simply asked her to come with him to the nest of the beasts -- all of them -- and strike them all down; but that seemed excessive to ask of her. Then again... fighting in these dark and deep caves was no different for her than fighting in the bright sunny day or the dark empty night. Everything was the same for someone who relied upon the lights within, right? Maybe she was... good enough. But then, he was a mage. He could've simply... blown the nests to hell and gore. If he was allowed to even leave the city. "What we need is propaganda; we need to let the people know that things like this have been happening all over the entire world, not just here. It is so dark down here; not many know what really happens in the surface above. If people believed that the world was about to fall down upon their shoulders, then they would surely allow me to reanimate the dead. The commoners do not face what our soldiers do. They do not think they are any longer in danger of death; but once the protective force runs dry, they too will die. What I need from you, Liliana... is a miracle."
It was just his misfortune -- then -- that miracles didn't exist.

Liliana reached up and rubbed Rachel's head as she thought. She had picked up Rachel's thoughts since the woman didn't use her opal to block Liliana out. "I would need someone to scribe down my accounts of the world above for you to send out in your paper, if it's still running. I normally would have someone with me but as you can see, all I have is my seeing eye kitty." She smiled while moving to rub Rachel's ears. "Maybe if we can get the truth out to your people that the world over is in trouble still, even with The Tyrant missing, that they will be more receptive of your methods to help them."

She loved getting this attention, even if she knew she would have to do something in return. 'So i take it you want me to sneak away and go write up whats happened to the world based on your memories?' Rachel asked through telepathy as she purred and moved her tail happily from side to side. Rachel knew she could easily sneak away, but she didn't want to leave Liliana if she didn't have to. <~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>

It would be better coming from one of their own, she mentally told Rachel. Besides, you'll be sneaking around later while I'm with whoever he has paired to me.

The man smiled -- a bright smile -- to the little kitten before him, and walked over closely to pet lightly upon its fur. Perhaps he was getting a bit too close, but he didn't think Liliana would mind. No -- she'd probably enjoy it; to know that he was no longer fearful and wary of her every step. "The paper is still running--" He continued, while stroking gently upon the black kitten's chin. He didn't like that color, though; black. It seemed to him that every tyrant to ever step foot in his life bore that very shade of hair. From his father to his brother, to his lover to his oppressor; and even the tyrant known as Fenrir. But it was okay. This creature -- even if under disguise -- was innocent. He didn't have to relate it to those beings of sin; even ironic as it was that he decided to take that forbidden visage and place it upon his own flesh. ''But it's not like their "facts" are ever on my side. Which will one day be very fortuitous, in the one day they do decide to fall back to me. You see, the people love the media of Amaranthine. They trust that media wherever it goes. And if the media were one day to fall to my side--" He added, though he was not finished; still speaking as he moved back from the black cat at his sight.
''Then so too would the people." After a while; it became comfortable to speak with Liliana. To know that she understood him and would not mistake his words for anything else other than what they really were. He was sincere, after all -- wasn't he? Completely sincere to everything in his voice. He didn't have to lie or hide; because there was nothing to be gained from that, only things lost. It was strangely... honest, and revealing. And wasn't that what everyone really wanted, inside? Honesty? If lies did not exist, then maybe... the world would be a much better place. ''It's not like there's anything for me to do here, anyway. No one signs up to be a new soldier anymore -- so I can't train anybody. I sent someone off abroad a while back though -- her name was Vivien Bishop. She kinda reminded me of Elizabeth, really. But I don't know if they're related. Have you seen her? It's been so long, I worry if she'll ever come back. Or if she's even alive." But, then... did he really want her to see this? To come back and see this dump? She'd probably say something smart, or sarcastic. She wouldn't understand all of the suffering -- all of the pain. But he wept for her, too; just like everyone else. Wondering if she found a better place than here.

Vivien made her way to the door of the academy, wondering what had happened. The city seemed so empty. When she had left, it was bustling with life. Maybe the teachers would know something about it. The young Lycan girl could smell 2 new people inside the academy, but when she opened the door, she only saw one new person talking to Xander. Vivien made her way inside with a bit of a confused look. "Hey, what happened? This place seems empty..." she questioned.

And just as he spoke of that very person, she arrived. In the olden times, back when he was still immature -- a child -- he nearly would've fallen down on one knee. But he had learned to not allow such simple things to brighten his smile. Or perhaps learned wasn't the correct word -- it was closer to... he had been forced to allow. At the same time though, it was actually depressing for her to come back to this unfortunate part of the world; back to see all that had been lost. "Hey. . ." He didn't know what to say. Nothing could prepare him for what may have needed to be said. She probably didn't even know it was really him; even his scent was that of that man. But it wasn't like he could truly be honest to her in this state. There were just too many wounds that would soon need to be healed. "Everyone went on a vacation, Vivien--" The man started; looking her in the eye, accepting that she'd easily understand what it was that he really meant; "To somewhere very far away."

Vivien may be young, but she wasn't stupid. An entire nation doesn't just pack up and leave on holiday out of the blue. She glared at the man then followed up with, "Don't bullshit me. Where is everyone?"

Rachel Altair Biochemist / Rouge / Darkness / Prismatic Opal of Deception / Adept / Shape-Shifter/ Energy: 1350/1350 <~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~> 'You do make a very good point...' Rachel told Liliana through telepathy as she felt Xander touch her fur and pet her as well. As soon as Xander touched her she purred more enjoying the affection, But she also closed her eyes letting his recent memories sink into her mind. When Xander went to move his had away Rachel licked it to show her thanks, for some reason she had mixed feelings about the man. But her thoughts were interrupted slightly by Vivien's entrance and questioning tone of voice. This person reminded her of Elizabeth, but maybe that was because they were related and looked a little alike. <~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>
