Welcome to Gaia! ::

Evelyn spoke with some minor lord for a few moments before she moved on and was about to continue talking with a new lord when a painting caught her eye and she moved toward the front, standing just about 10 feet away from Count Titanus, the host, as she started at the coronation. She didn't recognize her father this way, it seemed over dramatized but she couldn't help but smile as she looked over at the auctioneer as she brought a fan from inside one of her sleeves and brought it up as the auctioneer called for 600ec, and then again when she had been outbid and she raised again at 800.

the more he looked around the less he could shake the feeling that he was right about the woman with the black hair. he stepped closer to her. as he did he noticed he would end u getting closer to the count. if he was right he wondered if the count knew just who had made it to the auction.

he spared a quick glance at what was up for bid. he did admire the work of the artist, but that was not something he was looking for.
" pardon me maddam." he made it to be almost right behind her before he called out. He wondered what she had been up to, and part of him wondered how her child was doing. " i might be wrong but you look familiar to a girl i helped before."

The pride of good work always seems less

Evelyn looked up at the auctioneer and shook her head, letting the painting go to the person bidding against her and she would watch it get moved off to the side, she would look up at the next items to follow but she didn't find much interest in them and she debated weather or not she should just make a donation to the host instead as it would probably save her the trouble of transporting whatever she bought back to Bellris.

A familiar voice however stopped her from moving and instead she turned her head to look over at Joachim, smiling at the old mayor as she hadn't seen him in quite some time, ever since she had thanked him for looking after her son. Evelyn curtsied to him ever so slightly "We have met before" she said "Thank you for all the support you've offered" she said to him.

Gone's the wisdom
Of a thousand years
A world in fire and chains and fear



Ah, she was distracted. The dragon smiled to himself and lifted his hand. Distracting himself from the conversation at hand for but a moment, he shouted. "Fifteen thousand!"

Confident enough in his ability to earn the painting, he glanced around to see if anyone would challenge the purchase. Shame if the strange round egg was already purchased, but such was life, and he had arrived a little later than some.

At the invitation of the count, he went around to see the craft in question. He did like the way it had been described, but there wasn't anything quite like seeing it in person. He circled around it and as he followed the phoenix, he saw the message if he looked at it just right.

"An apt saying for the phoenix," the dragon affirmed. "What was the going price?"



Leads me to a place so far
Deep down it lies my secret vision
I better keep it safe

Evelyn smiled at him "I believe her turned two not to long ago, he still has quite the lungs on him, hes already shown an interest in learning the sword" she said to the Mayor before looking over at the host before looking back at the Mayor "I'm glad to no longer be on the streets of Ethe, and I hear that is has become much better to live here in the late year" she sighed "I've actually come here to donate some to the country's restoration" she said as she bowed to the Mayor again "I hope to see you again soon, I have to speak with our host" she said, giving him one more curtsy before she went to find Lord Titanus.

Evelyn looked around for a little while before she was pointed at last back stage and she nodded her head to the man that pointed her toward Lord Titanus' direction. She looked around the back for a moment before she looked over at the Lord of Titania and coughed slightly. She saw that he was speaking with a white haired man but she couldn't see the mans face. As politely as she could Evelyn approached and raised her hand slightly in order to get the Counts attention "Excuse me, my lord?" she said.

Gone's the wisdom
Of a thousand years
A world in fire and chains and fear



And thus the crystal dragon won the coronation piece of the true Emperor to keep in his abode. It would serve in place of a flag berating the current emperor's treacherous weakness. He relegated the duty of exchanging coin for the piece and followed the count.

Shame that no one was going after it. He would have enjoyed the piece with or without the writing etched on the side. Ah well, among his employ were some phoenixes and he felt assured that they would enjoy a piece such as this that resonated with them. And of such fine materials, too.

"What kind of name would assist in getting this gem purchased?" He inquired. "And if it isn't purchased.... I might be tempted to match the going price."

Distracted from his thoughts, he turned when he heard a voice inquire after the count. A familiar sound and cadence, and once he saw her face, his eyebrows lifted, affirming that he had met this stranger before. Cyn, was it? He smiled slightly. He knew that scale, too.

However, as he was not invited into the conversation, he held his tongue and listened.



Leads me to a place so far

Evelyn looked over at the pale haired man and she instantly recognized him, how could she forget one that she had met so recently. She did not feel comfortable speaking her name in front of the Phobosian lord, so she looked back at Count Titanus and bowed her head "My lord, I come here on behalf of my mistress" she said "She had planned to attend your auction but important, high stake maters had come up last minute. My name is Cyn" she said as she bowed to him once more before standing up straight "She had intended to participate but due to her absence she sent me here with a treasury note inscribed by the imperial bank. It his her order to me that I am to authorize the amount you have earned in totality to be withdrawn from her funds... in donation to Ethes recovery" She paused for a moment to let what she said sink in "I am to remain until the end of the auction in order to give you the exact amount of notes so that you may withdraw what you are due"
