Claudia Vesslia Darris? He is nothing more than a bug that needs to be swatted off his fault's throne. Their was no way he could track them to the village especially with all the invisibility cloaking wards around. He seemingly arbitrary zombies weren't terribly perceptive at least not without their puppeteer, Lucan. Claudia trying not to think about past enemies or else they'll come back to haunt her at the worst times too. The two made their way to the Meeting Cabin and Nyru's Gothic sibling had started questioning him rudely without so much as a Hello. However, that's just how the brother and sister thing worked so she couldn't really hold her sharp attitude against her. The ivory skinned champion didn't reply of course which was basically showing her the same lack of respect that she conveyed to him, but their was no need for words. Apparently, there wasn't any need for caution over something the shadowmancers had been desperately searching for either.
The Black Jewel was here! Charles claimed that the chest he stood by held one of the most powerful magical tools throughout all of Occulas!? How did he come across such a devastating artifact and yet didn't hand it over to the High Courts!? The werewolf advised them to not stare at the dark crystal for to long or else...what? The Crimson Jewel is the only jewel that her and Nyru had thought against and the way it writhed a person's soul is unfathomable. The mustached gentlemen placed the key in the iron lock and turned it which set off a cannon ball launching sound in her head. The cheeking noise screeched against her body and once the velvet interior was removed the jewel was held high in the air. The Obsidian colored stone was brilliantly executed in its design and dashes of red light poured through the crevices. Despite its dark ambiance, the blonde shield her eyes from the jewel after a few seconds of viewing it.
Black smoke seeped out of the wooden trunk polluting the air with its madness. Nyru was the most affected since he started to shake his head as if someone or something was inside it. This is the same reaction he went through while fighting En'raidal because of her telepathy powers influenced by the Crimson Jewel itself. Adi's golden dust interacted negatively with the gem and that was only because the two are polar opposites. The Gypsy couldn't get any closer to it and if she ever tried to to harvest it's strength, she would die from its atmosphere. The darkness it exuded way way to much for a light user such as herself to overtake, although she didn't really want to underestimate the dark haired woman. After another few minutes, she became concerned for her friends mental capacity and shouted, "Put it back, now!"

Everyone had their own reaction to the Black Jewel, though each similar, each unique. All the while, Charles was keeping his face turned away from the open chest below him, those before him were only going through what he and the other Therian's went through too often. Claudia's cry made Nyru jump, he felt every single hair on his body stand up. He was too absorbed into what Adi was doing just before, she was reaching out to it, and for some reason... he didn't stop her. Not even Isabelle, she was just idly staring at it too. She too, though, was taken back to reality with Claudia's order. Quickly, Charles swung his head round and witnessed how everybody was affected. His hands acted like skilled engineers as he quickly layered the cloth on top of the jewel as the black smoke began to stop falling from his arms. And then, just as the chest lid was bein swung back on top it sounded like the air from within was being sucked inwards.
the sound of the padlock clinking back into place was some of a heavenly warmth to Nyru. Isabelle let out a well-needed sigh suddenly, wiping her forehead. "I'm sorry" Charles admitted. "After seeing what En'radial did with the Crimson Jewel, i dread to imagine what this one could do..." Nyru then commented.

 Like a gift from the heavens it was easy to tell. It was love from above that could save me from hell.
She had fire in her soul, it was easy to see, how the devil himself could be pulled out of me.
There were drums in the air as she started to dance,
Every soul in the room keeping time with their hands.
And we danced on into the night! ━━☽Ɍυɼ'Дɖɩқą Дɖɖąɧąɼɼą☾━━
Still clutching her spasming hand and arm, the level of painful tingles running up from her hand were irritating and tolerable for Adi. Still scowling at the ground the out cry of the archer was surprised but also not unexpected. Someone was going to have to call an end to it and clearly it was herself or the others; just the blonde.
Worse yet she knew her actions weren't fully her own and hated it and more so the fact that it was right in front of the others and she was trying to keep this 'condition' unseen and unquestioned.
'What did you do?!' she practically yelled at the 'thing' in her head as she had not the time to really question the essence rolling around in her brain.
There was a chuckle and a sense of amusement that came from it but she could personally feel it and was difficult to hold back a smirk. 'Nothing serious...I had to test it. If it had been any other jewel or a fake, it would not have reacted in such a way.'
Adi scowled further as she stared down at the arm she clutched wither her good arm. The feeling was coming back, the feeling that was tingle and painful pinprick that is, plus a sense of control where she could clench her fingers. 'Not serious? If they realize that was not my own doing, they could question everything I do and my actions could be judge to have an agenda.'
'Don't be so paranoid my dear.'
The voice faded out and Adi came back as the other two came to and let out a comment. Though it was Nyru's comment that made her raise a brow and that slight golden dusty glow in her eyes to perk up sort of speak.
"Crimson Jewel? En'Radial..." Adi murmured confused not familiar with that item or that individual. "And that's beside the point right now. That 'thing' I can't even call it a Jewel because it clearly is much more then that," Adi stated firmly and pointing her good arm at the chest. "Is a double edged sword; we use that against Darius and we could risk loosing ourselves to it!"
Was she the only one worried about this realization?
☽━━☆━━☾ Like a piece to the puzzle that falls into place, you could tell how we felt from the look on our faces.
We were spinning in circles with the moon in our eyes. No room left to move in between you and I.
Our voices rang like the angels sing. We forgot where we were and we lost track of time,
And we sang to the wind as we danced through the night.
And we danced on into the night!

Claudia Vesslia Reality kicked in and Charles realized the influence it had on everyone. He wrapped up the black jewel and placed it into the chest letting the locks do the rest. Claudia sighed in exasperation acting like she needed a drink to sooth her tension nerves. Adi began to talk about En' raidal and the blonde was glad that she wasn't around to witness that event. The arachnid almost slaughtered her and Nyru before the circle interfered. She would leave Nyru to explain the horrific memory while she had a private conversation with Charles. She didn't hear the explanation as to how he came across the stone. The female want to see him as an ally not an enemy especially since she made a compromise with him earlier.
"So where's the drinks?" She smirked hoping that they would have a party of some kind. That way she could speak to him alone without complications.

Charles grinned at Claudia's remark, it was about time for a celebration of sorts. In the coming days, and with the completion of their small, temporary village, it was worth celebrating the re-population of Therias, and their beloved city, Southmarch.
_________________________________
Outside the great hall, the night sky was shining down with thousands of eyes, stars that resembled every living thing in the worlds. Life, beaming done unto them. Candle lights were placed on walls and gave of a brilliant red and orange glow, carpets had been laid to create better working environments for the younger ones and for dancing. Some citizens were performing tricks, some with fire, but not all that extravagant. Music was being played and it was made from several stringed instruments and wind instruments to accompany it.
And drinks, there most definitely was. Some, even alcoholic. Charles, at this moment in time was besides Claudia and the others and said "Enough drinks?", playfully. Isabelle however raised a brow and thought oh, please. He's mine tonight.
Nyru was leaning comfortably back against the wall with his helm in its circlet form, his mid-length dark hair swaying in the breeze. His arms were crossed as his stared down at the mark on the back of his hand. That prince was stll there, atthe back of his mind, he knew... but he didn't know all at the same time.
For now, he tried to shake the thought off and enjoy the music, he could even see Isabelle becoming the usually izzy that she is, playing the boys. Nyru, even though he didn't always show it, was hoping Adi would perform a little, she always knew how.

There were drums in the air as she started to dance,

And we danced on into the night! ━━ ☽Ɍυɼ'Дɖɩқą Дɖɖąɧąɼɼą☾━━ No one seemed to respond to her comment, that again both worried her and put her far from ease. It was Charles' response though to Claudia's remark that did bring a smile to the Gypsy's face and further distracted her from her worries and concerns. A party was just what she needed to relax. ______________________ The hall was lively, not just with light and color, but with the people with it truly giving it life. The laughter bring warmth and merriment to all who heard it, and particularly that of the laughter of the young ones running about the adult's feet; swinging and dancing about in their own awkward but adorable way. The light of life in their shining eyes and smiles, making their parents even more delighted. So was the magic of children in Adi's eyes. The Gypsy herself danced among the people, helping to keep that merriment alive. She danced with the young little ones, the young boys that blushed when they asked her to dance and she swept them into a lively reel that would take any one's breath away. Adi drank but within reason, the alcohol only causing her to speak more freely and with a happy cheer, and perhaps add a bit of a more rosy hue to her cheeks. Never though was it enough to make her stumble or become out of control; she had better manners then that. The young woman was a lively creature among a lively group of people, singing and dancing to their songs while pushing their request for her to perform some of her own. Adi pushed it off as much as she could but eventually she gave in. "Haha very well then...lucky you all that I thought ahead and brought my things in," she called to the marry crowd that cheered at hearing the good news of seeing the gypsy perform. Stepping up onto a higher rise of stairs that functioned as a stage for others that had sung and dance, she gave a flamboyant curtsy before gesturing to her things at the bottom of the stage that looked nothing more then a bunch of unused instruments at first glance. The gesture itself was all it took for the guitar to start up a steady strum both slow and flowing. It wasn't long before Adi's velvet smooth voice joined the strings in a high but sweet melody in a language unfamiliar to most people in the room...after all it was the gypsy language. Her words and vocals flowing from low to high effortlessly as the music became more as more instruments added to it gradually and her body began to move to the rhythm that steadily began to grow. Pale arms and hands swaying out in an ornate fashion her hips and feet swaying and taking her across the full length of the stage all the while she still managed to sing. As there was a lull in the music, she slowly swayed appearing barely out of breath and eventually drawing to a halt as her final vocals flowed and echoed through the hall. From the outstretched hand that was extended towards the hall doors and the nature beyond in a sparkle of light that Adi found unintentional with her little trick, a flutter of butterflies and leaves that appeared out of her hand. These real leaves and butterflies fluttering about the children and encouraging laughter from them. Those butterflies soon fluttered higher into the ceiling and bursting into a rain of golden dusty sparkles on the people. Bowing, Adi smiled enjoying the hushed awe before the roaring applause she had a feeling was coming. "More?" she finally asked aloud to the room. "And when the little ones grow slippy I have a special performance for them."OOC; Earth, the song inspiring Adi's performance. sry about the monster reply ☽━━☆━━☾Like a piece to the puzzle that falls into place, you could tell how we felt from the look on our faces.

Claudia Vesslia Charles exchanged no expenses or precious time to get this event going. The group was cordially invited to the party of the century which was more than excited. The shadowmances hadn't been to any parties within a year or had a five minute break for that matter. The entrance dimly lit the way into the main room that wasn't to compact. The citizen's knew they needed a village hall to establish a justice system, but it behaves the same for gatherings. While inside, bodies swayed here and there following the tempo of the selected band's music. Isabelle stood at the food table making her body language acknowledged to the sophisticated gent. Clearly she's fond of him, but hid it because Nyru would flip if he knew his sister feelings. She guessed she better reject the thought of getting close to their savior and conveying him of her concerns. She had no intentions of ruining his night so she would have to confront the source herself.
Nyru secluded himself in a corner studying the symbol on his wrist as if he was trying to give it a name. The shadowmancer knew he wanted his privacy since celebrations didn't hold his interest for long. Of course, she wouldn't dream of missing a dance with him just to embarrassed him. Adi became a spectacle by performing a tranquil solo. The gypsy was use to provided entertainment for others especially when the crowd yelled for an melody. Claudia danced intimately with the male she helped earlier, but occasionally glanced around. Once everyone turned and cheered Adi, waiting for her next assemble, she whispered to herself. Concealing the glow of her wrist against her garment, the female vanished into thin air.
The archer appeared back into the meeting room they were trapped in earlier. She wanted to stay and drink, but she had her mission from the fallen queen to think about as well. Clues. She needed evidence to see how, when, and where did Charles get the Black Jewel. She wanted to trust him, but after all the deception and chaos how could she trust anyone. Inhaling and exhaling, she turned to her attention to the chest and headed its direction. [If you want me to change it I will]

Isabelle Statem `•.¸ ¸.•´`•.¸ ¸.•´`•.¸ ¸.•´`•.¸ ¸.•´`•.¸ ¸.•´
Nyru, although standing alone and watching from a short distance, he always felt best without being surrounded. Adi in the focus light of the crowd, she stood on the make-shift stage made on an elevation besides the entrance to the main hall. It was the perfect place to perform, and that's what she did best. Watching her was like a trance, nothing was more beautiful whilst she danced and used her mysterious magic to boggle the mind. Nyru even began to forget what he was so worried about recently, he felt peaceful.
The flurry of butterflies, and then rain of sparkling gold dust was more than the finale he expected. Isabelle meanwhile was catcing up with Charles, who was also watching very closely at what Adi had been doing. Isabelle however was in a good mood, and holding a glass of red wine of-sorts, she shook off the time he failed to respond to her. She then leaned back against the table. The crowd cheered for the gypsy and was ready for another round, the little ones sounded pleased, knowing there was more for later dedicated to them. The poor young ones, they were here to live the life they wanted in their ancestor's homeland, it was a fantastical idea for them. For their parents it was all more important.
Inside the hall though, something unstable was taking place. A girl alone and without guidance, seeking the Black Jewel. Unaware, the poor, secluded Nyru had his back directly against the walls his partner was passing. The chest itself was silent, the locks were tight and not a whisper could pass through it. But then there was a whisper.
No, it was a voice.
Someone speaking to them self, no. Yes - no, someone was definitely pondering something. They sounded too confident. They weren't talking to them self at all, that was obvious now. A creak from behind Claudia was the initial signal that meant something was wrong. "You know" came a familiar voice. The man sounded interested, but bored at the same time. It was like Claudia has his curiosity, but not his entire attention. The male with long grey hair and dark, well fitting clothes and other layers of longer robe-like cloth then looked up to reveal his misty grey eyes. They reflected even the smallest light like a cat's eyes, but with a twilight blue tint. "You could surpass any mortal's power with that relic"
Meanwhile, at the same moment in time Nyru heard something rustle in the bushes nearby, and left to investigate after giving Adi one last gaze.
Then not a moment too soon, a child walked up to Adi before she could continue performing and said "E-excuse me" the young, dark-haired boy said shyly. "do you know the man over there?" he asked, pointing over towards the barn, there was no one. "He keeps staring at you, i think he likes you, but his eyes are creepy, lady!" the boy then shyly giggled and ran back off towards the crowd to dance and enjoy hiself. No one else batted an eye-lid at the barn.

And we danced on into the night! ━━ ☽Ɍυɼ'Дɖɩқą Дɖɖąɧąɼɼą☾━━ Glad to see they were enjoying, it made her that much more joyful over her performance. Adi always enjoyed for what it was and simply that, however, when the audience she performed for could be moved with her words and movements it made it so much more worth while. All smiles and happiness they cheered for more as she has hoped. Adi was about to spring into another performance as a child came up to her among-st the crowd. Unable to see where the rest of her party was, she really didn't care...it was a night of relaxation and freedom; they were allowed to do what they liked, and she was no ones nanny. But the child's words made her giggle and blush perhaps just a bit, though partly used to it as she often got stared at. The creepy eyes however, caught her attention and she cocked her head slightly at the child. Looking to the barn she saw no one, and about to question the child he went off again. "Wait-" she called out, but he was already weaving through the crowd with ease as they descended on her requesting more. Adi would have liked to see this man out, but the people were in demand of her and she couldn't say no. So Adi once more performed and took them on a journey of emotion. Making their hearts soar with hope and life with a song of her people The Voice was one of her favorites. Then she followed it with a upbeat song complete with her fast pace playing of her fiddle while at the same time dancing about and singing while drums joining her encouraging stomping and clapping. Nil Se'n La' was one of those songs she brought out to really bring the party to full life. It was always one that caused the well trained performer to lose her breath. By the end of it with magical fire playing at her fingertips and fiddle strings as she played, with a flume of a explosion of finale fire she was done with the song. The cheers were many and the wine and ale was passed with more enthusiasm, which she accepted on goblet but declined further performance except for the children's. Adi had her breath to catch, but also she was curious about this person staring at her. So with ease and grace the dark haired gypsy made her way casually to the barn. Enjoying the cool air on her warm and flushed exposed skin, and how the soft wind tossing her hair gentle. A sip from her wine, she peeked into about the barn. "Helloooooo..." she droned out cheerfully. "I hear from a little birdy I have an admirer," she said with a chuckle. ☽━━☆━━☾Like a piece to the puzzle that falls into place, you could tell how we felt from the look on our faces.
We were spinning in circles with the moon in our eyes. No room left to move in between you and I.
Our voices rang like the angels sing. We forgot where we were and we lost track of time,

Claudia Vesslia The floor moaned behind startling her, but she tensed her muscles trying not to show her fear. A voice like a cooing dove with flightless wings broke through the silence. It was none mistakable like his symbol that she glanced down upon wondering if she should use it again to avoid the conversation. He was a dark spirited figure, but at the same time influence in his cause to satisfy himself. She was probably entertaining the Prince with her silly suspicious quest to know all and gain nothing. If the blonde contravened him and went about her business that would be more than rude. After all he's done giving her the gift or curse of light speed transportation, he deserved a little bit of condolence in return. Turning "drunkenly" to the robed riddler, she laughed and said, "I have all ready surpassed any mortal even my own partner. Don't you mean that I could surpass a God such as yourself? You see the unending potential in me and I must show my gratitude with a dance or more wine, perhaps?"
She swayed back and forth like a rag doll hoping he would by her act in order to divert him from the jewel. What if he wanted the power for himself because he wouldn't appear for no reason. Nyru would come to her aid if something was about to befall her and the black jewel tucked away safely in the trunk. The archer grew anxious for a response examining his demeanor thoroughly as if she had never seen him before. Her head became filled with scenario's of how this situation was going to turn out and one of them was compelling. It was her claim the jewel and using its power ultimately bringing her to the conclusion of leaving her best friend behind.
How could she think such a think, but then again, she is only human and this ruler had some dominance over her judgement. Of course, she could use the jewel to set this mess straight and defeat the false dictator with one swipe. That wasn't the honorable way to win this battle and if the queen were still alive she wouldn't recommend it. What should she do? Nyru...she needed him and his good intensive wisdom to keep her in line.

The Prince of Crows
The Prince of Crows had a devilish stare as he watched her doddle her way around to face him, expose her inner thoughts through the alcoholic influence. She surprised him, however, she spoke so freely, so... remarkably. It was strange for a girl that would sway from being loyal and thoughtful, to loyal and reserved. This time it was unloyal, and selfish. Perhaps the Jewel was having it's way with her already. "I'm more than a god" he began, "though much less at the same time". He then vanished from where he was standing and then re appeared by the chest that kept the Black Jewel safe. "And I'm afraid that i do not dance" he said, stroke the chest with his fingers. "The things you could do with this, Claudia. You could..." he gestured with his arms as he said "rule an entire city. But that would be a dictatorship, wouldn't it? You could do as you're meant to, and protect the jewel, and see a city come back to rightful power... Choices, Claudia. Every single choice will shape your very existence." He then teleported behind her and said quietly "And one piece of advice. The reason you keep falling in bushes every time you use my mark, it's because you can only move to a spot you can see before you" he chuckled almost.
Nyru ventured off into the loosely grown trees and found himself even further away from everyone else. And then he called out "Anyone here?"
"Naturally" came the Prince of Crows' voice. "I'm impressed, Nyru"
"What do you mean by that?" Nyru asked, swinging round to face the familiar man, leaning back comfortably against a tree. "Under all this pressure, you haven't given into darkness, and resisted the Jewel."
"Of coarse i have, who in their right mind would go after the Jewel!?"
"You would be surprised. However, I'm here to talk to you about something else, Nyru"
"What?" he sharply asked. "Your personal affairs. I'm surprised you've dealt with them so well." at that statement he could see Nyru biting his jaw together. "Hm" the prince began. "A life of solitude and devotion, or that of friendship and loyalty. You balance it all quite well. But what if someone were to happen... because of you..."
"What do you mean now?!"
"Choices, Nyru. Every single choice you make will shape your very existence"
She came exactly as he had planned. a** he called out idly, he appeared behind her, leaning against the wall as always and said "Welcome, again, Rur'Adika Addaharra" he said, without a laugh, a smile, just a direct stare. "You play quite the entertainment, wouldn't you agree?" he then vanished, and re appeared behind her once more. "Tell me, what do you plan once you leave Notchwood?"

Peeking into the moonlit darkness of the barn, she saw no one. Just hay stacked about and flung across the fine dirt floor. Among the other horses, she could hear Croix's distinct nay but also his distinct huffs of mild distress.
Such an anxious horse he was, and Adi sighed as she stepped further in, now with a second agenda of calming her horse as well as find the strange 'creepy' eyed stranger. The gypsy had her suspicions of course, nothing was confirmed however till, a voice spoke out load; crisp and clear with tones smooth as a caress versus simply words and vibrations. He almost seemed to speak with magic.
His sudden appears did startle the gypsy and she spun about searching for his tall, lathe form she found him but only to have him disappear and reappear again. The Prince and his tricks, Adi raised a brow as she crossed her arms and scowled purposefully so in attempt to keep the blush down. The fact that he had seen her performance well...
"Y-Yes well...its what gypsies do...and it looks like they never really had the chance to experience one before..." she said with a gesture to the crowd outside the barn partying and drinking; laughing bringing the night to life. "So it was you...I suspect as much when the boy said 'creepy'...but I've been wrong before."
His line of questioning was one that surprised her, and it clearly showed on her face. Raised brows and repeated blinking as the question brought to mind the question of her own...what exactly was she going to do? Adi had not thought about it, she had anticipated that this trial to get the Jewel would have taken much longer then it had...however it had fallen into their hands far to easily Adi thought.
"I haven't really thought about it...figured see this journey through as apparently I'm more needed then even I'm aware of..." she said in a thoughtful fashion, thinking of the incident in the Inkwell and the undead; her light rendering them to nothing but dust. "...all said and done I'd return to my normal gypsy life. Now tell me why a Prince would care what I do after this? Still have those plans to see me victorious?" with Adi's words there was a hint of scorn there.
She was a free-spirit and having a man...creature such as the Prince of Crows hanging about as if manipulating her movements and choices made her very irritated.
"You really are a trickster with that silver-tongue of yours to get people where you want while getting what you want..."

Claudia Vesslia What did he mean when he said he was in between divinity and mortal qualities? He vanished and materialized next to the chest holding the jewel that could make her or break her. Out of caution, she summoned her shadow bow and arrow aiming it at the illusion Prince. If the blonde did shoot the arrow would faze right through his not so transparent body. He wasn't really there or was he? Simply knowledge like this began to pick at her mind even though she knew the answer. Perspiration began to form on her brow as she tried to stay focused the Prince of Crows. The black jewel was affecting her mind quicker than excepted; she is weak. He caressed the trunk with his finger tips taunting her as she denied the dance which she could care less about.
His words of broken advise scattered upon the poisoned waters ripped in and out of her ears. Choices. These were the hardest decisions she had to make because usually she got whatever she wanted. Her path had always been handed to her and she didn't have consequences to fall back on. Then again, Nyru is always by her side helping her choose right from wrong. The shadowmancer can't be with her forever holding her hand through every problem that comes her way. The second choice is what she wants to pick, but why was the first so inspiring. Claudia wouldn't follow in Darris' footsteps would she? The archer didn't realize that the Prince was now behind her basically whispering in her ear about how she couldn't even use the symbol correctly. Her arsenal faded and she turned to him without converting to a fake drunken state.
"Why do you do this? What do you gain out of watching me fail or anyone of your subjects for that matter? I don't understand you. Every word out of your mouth makes me...I don't know. Angry? Frustrated? Worried? Or sad? What do you want?" Her head began to throb and she put her hands to the side of it frowning in pain.

The Prince of Crows
At last it would seem that the Prince had began to break a crack in that shell of a defence around her comfort. It was like protective bubble around her, a front, but he didn't want to break it, nor keep it hard as steel. There was a lesson to be learned from the Prince, in history he was dark, he was secretive, but he always thought it was for the greater good. He did horrid... frightful things... but great... very great things. He was able to turn an entire conclave to trust him and do what they even knew wasn't right. Now he was merely in Limbo, no one knew that. In reply to the archer, he walked out from the nearby shadows and gave her a look that, now, was more understanding, he wanted her to understand him. He said, slowly "You've become a fugitive, and slowly, but surely... things have come together and are looking... brighter. I'm here, Ruby, to act as a guide. Whilst my part has been fulfilled in this world, other's, i believe, deserve redemption. On the other hand, Ruby, some deserve exactly... what they get. You may say, i gain assurance from all this. Now i burden you with another choice. I think it's fit that Darris get's exactly what he has done to you, he thought he'd give you death. Now that's not such a bad gift to return, is it not?" he finally finished speaking. The prince did in truth want to see Darris dead, he had disrespected the powers of the Prince of Crows, and so deserved them to be stripped, but it was not as simple as giving the gift. The prince personally like to guide, and to watch. He will not favour the good or the bad, he will make a judgement based on a person, not caring for who else it may affect. And now his guidance and observation, of perhaps entertainment, has turned to Adi, Claudia, and Nyru.
She had an interesting outlook on life. She would return to easily, and even question his own plans for her. To which he replied "That is for you to decide, Rur'Adika, I'm merely here to see you victorious as you choose.". She then went on to speak of him being a trickster, all too many have called him that. He could only reply to her with "Isn't this what we all want, Rur'adika? For your friends to get what they deserve, for Darris to fall, and for you to return to your lifestyle, knowing that you've made friend's along the way. Don't you want to see this all... get better? Well, why don't we put this into perspective. You have chosen exactly how you got here, and that glowing object of your's is nothing of my tricks. I'm here, to see where that object... takes you"
He was becoming tired of what the prince was saying about his choices, choice here, choice there, Nyru knew al of that, he had to deal with choices all his life! "I know what i'm doing. Just tell me why you're so interested in me and why you've given us your mark"
"Because i want, what you want. To see Darris fall and taste his own blood. Is it not, what you want, Nyru? I'm here only to see this delivered. Whether you choose to take it on is up to you. You sparked my curiosity, and i felt generous to give you what will make this all that much easier.

Like a gift from the heavens it was easy to tell. It was love from above that could save me from hell.
She had fire in her soul, it was easy to see, how the devil himself could be pulled out of me.
There were drums in the air as she started to dance,
Every soul in the room keeping time with their hands.
And we danced on into the night! ━━☽Ɍυɼ'Дɖɩқą Дɖɖąɧąɼɼą☾━━
Her full name...it was an odd one, but that was gypsy culture in partial. Her name said in the way he did made it sound far more mysterious then she ever initially thought about it. But the Prince of Crows continued on with his original statement said in the Inkwell.
Her choices and his wish to see her victorious.
Adi has left her people in an attempt to not be tied down and too soon to give up her sense of freedom just yet to a family and caravan. It was what led her on this little visit to the Land of Crows and the adventure she knew nothing about awaiting her there. And as he spoke, his words rung true as every choice she made had led her here...to step up and fight Zoltan, and to make the choice to rescue and help her new friends.
Many more choices were on her horizon and Adi was more then clearly aware of it, and so was the Prince. Raising a brow she stayed relatively passive in her expressions as he carried on and brought up the 'trinket' in her possession.
Instead of fawning ignorance as she has slightly prier, however new developments has occurred, Adi tugged the bobble fer neck with a snap of the string it was on. In her upturned palm, laying there in her open hand, she held it up and out for the Prince to see.
"You mean this trinket?" she asked and just then the milky colored object with clearer and transparent edging which wasn't there before, she took little notice. For the magic breathed within it and it began to glow a warm golden light as the same dusty rays of light seemed to tumble from her hand to the hay floor like a gentle waterfall. "What do you know of it...it's nothing that I was told by my family."
It may have been unwise to ask and show him this, but she had no where to turn to who has such knowledge, and Adi was sick of having all these questions with no answers.
☽━━☆━━☾ Like a piece to the puzzle that falls into place, you could tell how we felt from the look on our faces.
We were spinning in circles with the moon in our eyes. No room left to move in between you and I.
Our voices rang like the angels sing. We forgot where we were and we lost track of time,
And we sang to the wind as we danced through the night.
And we danced on into the night!
