"In don't like the thought of the two of you seperated, Onyx. Neither of you ever did very well without the other." She sighed. "Whether or not he wants the company, force it on him. Soldiarity will drive him mad. I know, it's happened to me."
Morelle chittered, rubbed his forehead against Onyx's leg a moemnt, then dashed out the room. Find Moonstone? Yeah, he could do that. Just pick up the scent and then...yup. There it was! He bolted down the stairs and out the door.
"Again? We've never met." She smiled a bit. "Yes. Tarathiel has been treating me well." She gestures to the many chiars scattered about the room, in front of the table and the fireplace. "Have a seat, and lets get down to buisness."
She nodded. "Well aware."
"But if you wish me to answer questions, then you have to follow the rules. I cannot give you information for free."

"Well...meetin breifly in front of the tavaern count's a meeting in Malik's book." Though she did look at little disheartened as they both had to go about mentioning what happened...now why did they have to go do that? She was trying to not think about it...besides...she didn't really want a nosey Tarathiel or even Whirlwind asking questions on anything. But with a sigh she reached in her pocket, walking to Meilikki and pulled out that red stone, placing it in the oracle's hand. "I belive some imps had that." So then, she took a seat, looking once more to Malik. "Go ahead and get your things out of the way...your buisness is more important than mine."

"Yes, I am well aware of your rules. Though I was hoping perhaps for your guidance, instead of a task, you might be inclined to accept information. we think we know whom the Lich is..or was, as teh case may be. your magi cousin has been most helpful. and of course..there's Iris here. one of twenty one that I have like her. though she claims to be..defective."
he watched her, glancing occasionally to Whirlwind.
"And Tanundra seems to not be present. I do hope he is uninjured. after all, he gave Malvolence a pleasent gift during our little skirmish."
"I'm really not one to force this on him. if he fights it, wether I like it or not he cna stop me from spending time with him, and can hide himself from everyone else rather easily. you sure there isn't some ritual or method to...give him a heart? or maybe some kind of totem like this one to act in it's place?"

She rolled the stone in her fingers a moment. "Thank you, child. It is good to see your face." She smiled. "I enjoyed seeing it last time as well."
"I could get the same information from the magi himself, if he is the one who gave it to you." She folded her hands. "Which is all well and good. And I might have once accepted such an offer. But there are certain items that I require." She held up the ruby. "Although your fiance has spared you the trouble of this one."
She tohught about this a moment though. "If you are as reliable as Piper, I ay exchnage my information, for both yours and my task, to be completed at a later date." She lifted an eyebrow.
"Tanundra is has been given leave to visit old friends. He is quite well."

Rand paused a moment. "I acquired my heart because your father bond us togther. If you could find someone who truly wishes to share his pain, and bind them, you may be able to take care of that little...problem. But Cymarron also had the power to preform the ritual. I am not certian that you two can..."
Her voice paused again. This was all quite disturbing, and difficult to wrap her brain around. "Do you know of anyone that would be willing to take on his pain like that? Moon has never really been...close with anyone but his family."

Piper nodded, giving the woman a smile. For some reason, Meilikki seemed to be a source of ease. Perhaps its was with the serenity she seeemed to hold herself in and it eminated. Almost like that feeling one got from thier mother...though it was hard to make that comparison seeing as Piper was far older than Meilikki. "Though this time I'm not in a panic. A little off...happy in a sense. But better than paniced." And hey, she could see this time too. Then a look over to Whirlwind and Tarathiel...silence always had disturbed her, and back to the oracle and then a smile to Malik. See, her remembering such trinkets was good.

Malik frowned a bit. He really didn't want a task, as Tarathiel might use this little getting the task meeting as having done his part and bar him from seeing her. he wouldn't put it past him.
"where did you last have your stones, and I'll see to recovering them. if they cna be traced by magical means I'll be able to do it much faster as well."
A look at piper, and a small smile, and pat on her head..before turnign his attention to Iris.
"Is the name Meilikki familiar to you? heard it mentioned or anything planned around the mentioning of the name?"
Onyx shook his head.
"We don't have near the power of father, even combined. but I'll do my best with Moonstone. Morelle is getting him now, if you want to talk to him when he gets here."

"The stones are in Deep Water, stolen andn distributed I'm afraid. Fed a hungry family, but mostly just went into noble house coifers." She sighed. "As long as they are perfectly chaped elipses, or ovals, then all I need is an emrald, a sapphire, a topaz, an opal, a diamond, a lapis lazuli, an azure, an amythyst, an amber, and a jade." She smiled, rested her elbow on the table. "Not too difficult, for one as," she waved a hand, "materialistic as yourself." She shrugged. "Use magic to get them if you can. I don't much care where they come from."
"There. You have your task. Make with the questions and the information." She was enjoying this, to say the least.
Rand pause a moemnt. "That is all I can ask, dear son."
Moonstone walked in, eyes half lidded, Morelle on his shoulder, his fur covered in bits of hay. He growled. "What?"

Roarke rubbed at an eye. "Wha?"
He turned his head to look back into the room, looking for this lady friend that Eliot spoke of. "What lady freind." Then he threw a thumb over his shoulder. "You mean Alaran here?"
"What do you eman it got cold?" Yeah, he was groggy, not not yet understand what Alaran plus cold meant.

A blink at his patting. She sometimes wished he wouldn't do that in front of people...made her look like a child...or a pet...or an idiot. Something along those lines. But Malik's affections were always welcomed, which is why she never fussed about it. So Malik had to go fetch stones did he? Certinally not the awe inspiring idea of making a place's surface hospitable to the human breed, that was for sure. Probably a little damper on his expectations, but oracles were odd in thier ways with purpose behind their actions. "Though yes, what questions do you have brewing in that head of yours?"

"Those are simple. I only have two. the first is, will I be able to establish a permenant, safe home here. and secondly. there is a creature in my home, asmall blue feather winged fairy. I'd like to know what sent him to my home, and why."
A small grin.
"Those are my questions. and here is the information I will give, ther rest once you answer. right now, we beleive the Lich is the twin to Ton. which is how he knew exactly how, where and with what to hold you as he did."
Onyx looked at his brother, and gestured for him to come over.
"I got mom on the phone, so to speak. adn I think you need to talk to her about your problem. she suggested we spned lots of time together, so won't that be great. I'll take you swimming and hunting and let you play with the imps."
A little bit of a chuckle, before handing the raven totem over to Moon, picking up morelle and patting him on teh head.
"You just talk into it. like a telephone. you remember those things, right?"

Meilikki frowned. "Is that so?" that made much more sense. So this hooded man was family, which made this personally worse. "Ton's twin...Dimitri Kosnietskov." At least now she had a name...and a face..sort of.
She sighed. She didn't like that. Not one bit. "Simple questions. Simple answers. Yes. Your home, the Triumverate Fortress, will remain safe for you and your kin." She smiled. "That is of course, should you choose to have any. You may wish to contact my cousin about setting up extra defenses. He has some wonder ful ones. You've seen the stone lions, yes?"
"As to the little feathered fairy...poor soul. He was a genetic experiment in the Wizen Watch Tower. Tarathiel destroyed the place, and the familiar's master. Raziel bacme confused, disoriented, as his memories of his formare life, trasfered to his master as a means of making his mind a littel information sponge, faded. He wandered and eventaully ended up at the Fortress." She thought a moment. "If his master was studying necromancy, or the histories of Labyrinth, ghe might have some information on how to defeat the lich. If he regains his memories."
Moonstone sneered, not appriecting the little boy attitude. But then he got a scared look to his eye. "You...you told Mother? Even when I told you not to?" He glared at Onyx, while he took the raven item. "Mother?"
"Moonstone, son." She sighed. "I know tihs is difficult for you." Moon didn't want to ehar this. "And I know you don't want to hear any of this." Can't you just elave me alone? "But being alone isn't a good idea right now." It's too painful. "I know it hurts, sweetheart. But...." don't mention the heart. Just don't...."but if you want to feel emotion, strong ones, you need to earn a heart." Damn you Mother. "Being alone isn't going to helpt hat."

Eliot Starred at the woman for a moment, she had no idea that the dragon could change forms like that.
"I mean I could feel like... a cold wind coming from under the door. I had nocked and... Alaran had answered the door. But she closed the door and then I felt the wind, I thought she might be hurting you.
I'm glad your okay." Elito took a breath to calm herslef a little, her friend was unhurt.

Iris bowed. "No, Sire. I do not know the name Meilikki. I am sorry." No. They wouldn't let any of her kind know anything that could be possibly incriminating. Perhaps the most she knew were the intricate halls and rooms of the Corn Fields. Well, that and the row apon row of corn stocks that grew people instead...

Roarke gave Alaran a very angry glare. "Did she now?" Leaveing the door open, is fatigue forgotten, he stuck a finger in the dragon's face. "I've about had it with your jealous, Alaran. How many women have you killed? Just because they may or may not get close to me." He growled at her.
You belong to me. Al'Blackbowman! I will not allow some scruffy peasant get in the way.
"Yours? You never had me. Just as you never had Ton. I am not his god damn reincarnation. And you should know, you visit his grave often eough."
The man couldn't get past is own insecurities...
He put two fists in his hair. "That's it. I've had it. Alaran...get out. Now."
