Welcome to Gaia! ::

"hmph, information is better gotten from the dead I think... Watch your back, I'll be coming from the front." he said quoting the old drow saying. with his head high he turned to leave, taking in the lay of the land around him for use later. "see you later dead man." he tossed back as he passed through the gates

Seth looked at him with wide eyed innocence. "Oh, I'm here to learn. Make no mistake. Do you have time for a tour?" She smiled brilliantly. Her hands clasped behind her back like a good little school girl. Seth made certain to utilize her acting skills to the fullest.

His face showed that his emotions became much more cheerful. "Well is that so? I think that can be arranged. Would you like to follow me?" He turned and moved to lead her to the main doors that lead inside the school. He pulled outs a small gem and placed it inside the slot on the door, then door reacted and opened. "You see, when the school year is not in progress, the doors are locked. In truth the reaction to the lock is my own magical aura, but I am able to trap parts of my aura that would other wise be expelled and then wasted. With that aura sample placed inside these gems they become keys." He places the key back inside his pocket and steps inside. The school is always well lit, showing how vast is really. "We don't need any candles or oils here for light, rather I have created a system of magic ruins. If you rotate the ruins on the light controls to match, then it cast a light spell, the materials for the spells are liquidated and then feed to the ruins via a pipe line system in the walls. Follow me." He leans her deeper into the school, pointing out class rooms as they go. After reaching the second floor, he points out a large door. "That is the magical research lab. I like to let students help me with my newest works. Not only is it a great help to me, but I also have no problem adding their names to the credit list, giving them better job opportunities once leaving my school."

How was it so many were able to get on the ground, past his guards, and not right here before him without noticing? He turned around slowly and looked at the man behind him. "Well, I hope you wont take this too harshly when I say no..." He slowly pushed hair from his face and tucked his behind his long dark tone ears, "I cater to the many educational needs of my fellow drow...in staying that I'm sure you understand I have no such obligations to you. A dear friends of mine was be most displeased with me if I killed you because of the same reason I refuse to let you in this school, so I'm offering this one time chance, leave my house now and no harm will come to you." How dare this worm come here without announcement, spy, and sneak around, only to make himself known after the spell lock to the school was broken? These all alone were more than enough to punish any common drow. His pointed out a finger, pointing at him from across the long gap of space between them. "No one other than a student of close friends has ever gotten past the first floor of this school, mostly for security reasons. Now, imagine how much I would love to kill you for this insult...Last warning, LEAVE!"

At that moment, a guard comes running up the steps, yelling for his lord. "Lord Llmryn! Are you here sir?!" Llmryn spun around quickly, "What is it? Can't you see I'm quite busy?" The guard stopped before his master, trying to catch his breath in his panic. "But Lord Llmryn! Lord Val'atar Druu'giir awaits you at the gates!" Llmryn's eyes widen a moment, standing silent. "That's it...you just left him standing at the gates? You FOOL! Show him to my personal office and listen to his every need and want. Make sure he is perfectly happy, we don't need any more enemies so soon after setting root here." Llmryn turned to Seth, a very serious look on his face. "Seth, I'm sorry to cut our time short, but it seems I have a matter that requires me to leave this very moment. If you don't mind, take that man over there outside and close the doors behind you." Llmryn opened one of the pockets hidden in his cloak and took out a small vile, he tossed it to the ground and shattered the small glass vile. The liquid inside instantly turned to a bright and blinding green light. When the light faded, Llmryn was gone.

The guard ran quickly as he could to the gates, opening them quickly. "I'm so sorry Lord Val'atar, My master Lord Llmryn would like you to meet with him in his office. Please follow me sir. I am also on command to make sure you are in full comfort for the duration of your stay here, so act anything of me you like." The guard started to walk to the main house, making sure not to walk too far ahead of Val'atar.

*appearing from thin air* Well hello, Lord Druugiir...long now aye? Do you know WHY I am here?

-Inclining his head slightly, Val'atar follows the guard. His cloak swirls about him with each step and the fierce Blood-Hawk stares at each person they pass like they were potential food, partially because they were..-

"While I thank your Lord for the offer, I'll be fine as I am. As for asking anything.. I see a lot of strangers within your grounds, does your Lord not have enough soldiers to keep this estate safe and guarded?"

-Before they reach the house, a creature of some sort appears from thin air. It speaks to Val'atar, though he cant quite place whom it is-

"Do I know you? You ask if I know why you are here.. to which I would guess.. because your searching for something. That said, I have little time for conversation with commoners.. Guard, lead on to your Master's office."

-Val'atar waves the creature off, shooing it away before turning to follow the guard once again. It seemed the defense of this place was severely lacking, if he intended for the city to remain at some measure of peace, he would have to step in and make sure that Qu'ellar Val'Rilyniryn
remained secure from outside assault. Perhaps he'd offer the use of some of his mercenaries, though for now he was satisfied with following the guard and observing the grounds and their workings-
