"Very true Truinthil, but these artifacts are truley from darker origins than even you and I..." He tilted his head slightly and grinned maliciously.
"Well, that depends good sir... what would you be looking for... to part with that information."

Aria Sighed and got up "I should go stop them before Erike kills someone....That man though often in the form of a cat....Is alot stronger then anyone could guess...." She got up and walked downstairs, grabbing a carton of cigaretts on the way out, she stuck one in her mouth and lit it, then looked at Xol "An eye for an eye might not work in this Case Xol.... that would leave me without Parents and you possibly dead. 'sides me Ma wouldn't have wanted you to do that...She knew the risks she was taking to see him, and she still went there, knowing full well she'd probally die.... She went because she loved him and she wanted to fix him....and Xol If you killed him, that would make her dying in vain....If anyone is going to deal with my father...It will be me." She was done crying now, she was angry and not wanting to take any s**t.
Erike: *He sighed* yer not being 'elpful Truinthil.....*He looked up at Aria and wasnt even going to bother to tell Her not to smoke, it wasnt the time to, he looked back to Truinthil*....if we know whats wrong and supposedly cant fix it wouldnt it be fun to see us try?

Oh! I know it would be fun to see you try to fix it. I think it would be double the fun though if you have to figure out what it is, then try to fix it. Don' you agree that that would be more amusing to someone like me? Oh well.
~Truinthil laughed at Xol's comment though.~
Oh, but you do not know of my origins yet. I wonder how that could be. Many in this guild already know. At least I think they do. Oh well.
~Hearing Aria's comments as she came into the room he only barely suppressed a grin.~
Draeken is at his mansion Xol. Though, I do not believe that even you and your artifacts could defeat him. Unless I miss my guess he is likely far beyond you and I. He does have a twenty six thousand year old entity within him you know. Who knows whether his recent evilness has tapped into that power yet or not?

"Your funny sometimes T, you know that. Me, being bested be a human shell encompassing a mere 26,000 year old entity. It seems you forget how old I truly am... as well as my origins. Really Truinthil... I thought you kept more intelligent tabs on your foes... "
Xol turned away and started walking towards the door while letting his blades dangle loosely at his side still. Although they looked harmless now, once in attack they were more powerful than nearly all the blades he had ever wielded. Even the fabeled Einlanzer from which they, as well as his gauntlets had parts of within. They would see action soon enough though.
"I understand where you're coming from Aria, but unless your father is cured from whatever it is he's suffering from, he's no more alive than your mother. If what Truinthil is saying it indeed true, then I fear what will happen if we do not stop him now... which is exactly what I'm going to do. One way or another someone is dying tonight. If you don't want it to be your father I suggest you come with and see if you can talk some sense into him before it's too late. If it even isn't already."

Aria growled. "I'm not stupid I know just what he's like and Unless you want Rave and your son to be without a father your will stay away from him...If anyone could talk sense into that man it would be the Geezer or me Ma" She took a drag then exhaled before placing the cig back between her lips "And obviously neither of them worked...and I can sense both you and him right now... and we are several hundred miles from that Mansion...Being a cocky b*****d and an Arrogant fool wont get you anywhere but 6 feet under...Now If you want to be of some help then you can store my mother's body someplace safe so when My father is in his right mind, when ever the hell that is, he can restore her to it."

~Truinthil laughed at Xol once more.~
Do not underestimate the kid. He is not just a shell. Though he himself could never stand against me without the geezer he has in him, he is quite a powerful individual. He has been trained by his ancestor, who is the geezer within him. Add that to the raw power that he is likely weilding with his newfound evilness. Then add to that, the sheer power of his ancestor within him. You know? His ancestor has more than enough of the right types of bloods within him and enough power to become a god is he so pleased. He never did take that path though. You wont be facing some child if you battle him. You will be facing something with battle knowledge that is matched by very few. You should listen to Aria. You wouldnt want your precious love and child left without a father and husband would you?

"You're right T, he probably is at his peak right now... but he doesn't have this now does he."
He still had his back to them all and after the slight jingling of a chain, Xol was holding a small vial between his fingers. It was black and pulsing with a very potent and unknown energy, giving off almost nauseating waves to even Xol.
"Not that I need it or I would have used it countless years ago. It's just here as a security measure in case I ever need the ultimate boost. However, in the end it would seal my own fate I fear, for the innate properties enclosed in this vial are most..."
His voice faded as the implications of what he held washed over him again for the umpteeth time. Letting the vial fall back under his shirt and to his chest, he turned to Aria.
"You're but 16 love, keep to the things you think you know. Boys, make-up and your favorite boy bands. For when it comes to me, what I am, and what I stand for... you have not an inklingof the truth dear girl. Would I die if I fought you father? There's a chance, although slim it is there. I like to call them calculated risks. I love calculated risks. It's what keeps me from slipping into the monotonous dulls of oridinary life..." Xol drew a long breath before continuing.
"For now though, I'll keep my distance from D and take your mother to my Keep. However, if I see him... I will not hesitate to strike, and believe me, it won't be pretty."
With that, he walked over to the couch and picked up Phia's lifeless body in his arms. She was soaked with blood and limp with dead weight. He simply bit his bottom lip and faded into a fine mist.
"What a waste... I'm so sorry Aria..."

Aria rolled her eyes disgusted "Don't patronize me Xol...I'm not your sterotypical Teenager....just because I'm 16 doesnt mean my mentality is unlike some of the minds here....I don't care what you do to defend youself but when It comes to matters of who ends his life....I will take it in my own hands..." She growled, she was sick of being treated like a little kid, what would she have to do to get people think otherwise? "I dont need your sympathy, pity or what ever you want to call it...I'll keep in contact with you." She turned and looked to Erike then to Truinthil "And if theres nothing else you need I suggest you take your leave also."

Aww. I was hoping to see some fireworks at the mansion. Oh well. Another time I guess.
~Turning to look at Aria he tilted his head.~
Leave? I was thinking I could stay here for a while. I don really wanna go back to the fortress right now.
~Moving back to the couch, Truinthil resumed lounging on it.~

Aria sighed "You know for someone who killed my father....your not how I pictured you'd be...." She sat down. CSK jumped in her lap and fell asleep, It was hard for Erike to hold his humanoid form and worse on Aria since he had to draw energy from her to do it. Aria stroked the cat's back gently, taking a drag the tapping the ash from it while she stared at him with icy blue eyes that would be all to familiar to him.

Well hey, kid. Cut me some slack. I'm in a mood that most of your elders would enjoy. I am usually quite cruel by their standards. These bloody emotions keep interferring though. Can't understand how you people can tolerate the kind set of emotions.

Yeah? Well I lived just fine before I had these stupid emotions. I got by just fine on hatred and anger and the like. Bah!
~Truinthil sighed, shrugged, then started playing rolling a silver coin across his knuckles. The coin seemed to have appeared from no where.~

Aria took another drag off her cig and exhaled. "Well its alot harder...It should be a good challenge for you....what do you feel besides anger and hate. Sorrow? Loss? Pain? Annoyance? Boredom? Or maybe it's Love, Lust or Frustration....maybe all three that bugs you so..." Aria snorted "Face it...it's human nature to feel...now you can either live with it or go drown your sorrows in alcohol or some other sort of drug...."

Kid...I'm not human. Ive lived for millenia knowing nothing but hatred and such. Recently though I have come to realize that I am growing kind emotions. Sympathy, compassion, love, lust...All of it. I hate it. I can deal with them most of the time by suppressing them. They get out once in a while. Like now. We wouldnt be having this chat if I had them under control.
~He shrugged again and continued to roll the coin across his knuckles. It was a habit he had picked up from Old Draeken.~
