Paradox looked at the seat. "It's harmless Katherine. I can see that much." Paradox said unemotionally. He continued to watch Insomnia, still as still as a statue.
Insomnia laughed again at the QUeen's words. "They had to find the raw materials for us weapons somewhere, girl." Insomnia told her, snapping his fingers. Lights came on all around, and to the side was a full fledged kitchen with chefs working silently. "We got emotions, we do, but feeling changes as we change."

"Forgive me again but I don't think i put yourself and Paradox in the same category. Your what is destroying Llyr." She spoke still not sitting it became the fact of the matter. It was small and she knew better if she sat she would be making herself less important she had been a Queen for much to long of her life.

Insomnia waved the comment away, "Whatever. If you'd help me, I wouldn't have to destroy it, you know." The giant yawned, and snapped his fingers again. The chefs brought him a bubbling drink, and Paradox a similiar one. "I see the monster hasn't changed a bit!" He laughed, after a glance back at Paradox.
Paradox was still sitting in his chair, studying the contents of the drink. "It's poison." He said simply.

She shook her head slightly, "No Not true you don't have to do what you are doing that is choice." She spoke then looked down to the drink. She then looked to Paradox. "Do you.. nevermind we will speak of it later i hope." She looked back up then. "That is when I am done with you but to my interest, knowing you were once mortal how did you become what you are?"

Insomnia nodded to Paradox's observation. "The finest poison money can buy. Drink up freind." And with that, he drank the entire flask in one swallow. He laughed again. "Boy, that hit the spot!"
Paradox sighed, "he wants your help." and shook his head. He was talking to Katherine. "That is the main reason he is destroying Llyr."
Insomnia laughed again. "I already got what I needed from you." He pointed at Katherine. The giant stopped laughing, and a deep looke of pain crossed his face. "There were a thousand of us. Your general here and I were only two of them. We were promised power, everyone." He said solemnly, the pain radiating through his features. A haunted look that dissapeared almost immediately. The madness reappeared in his eyes."But that's the past. Now is a time for celebration."

Ryder rode alone, by his request, to the capital, for some business and also to get away from his own region. He had riden for three days, resting at roadside inns. His pack that hung off his stallion clanked as his armor was in there, Lightshade. His longsword hung at his side, bow hanging on his back. He had been attacked at least three times by highwaymen, each time, he slaughtered every last one. His blade was black, glistening as if enchanted with magic, his bow made out of ancient, unbreakable oak wood, over 300 years old, his family heirloom. His black hair blew by the wind from the coast as he rode towards the capital, the high most towers in view in the distance. After about an hour, he finally crossed the bridge heading into the capital, immediately stopping into the closest tavern, ordering a tankard of ale, drinking it gingerly. He then flipped a couple gold coins into the tender's hand then walked out, his pack on his back. He then took in a deep breath, looking down the street to the center of the city, content that he had made it in one piece.

She looked down to Paradox, "To turn my people over to him, no i wouldn't do that. Or to sit by his side as he takes the world as his weapon." She looked back up to him and shook her head slightly. "Then what Insomnia, the world then Solum? and what will you do when death comes here and tries to claim? Try to fight him as well because i promise he won't stand for you anymore than he will stand for any of us." They were not in the city, but word was out that the capital was on lock down and the new King had jailed the ambassadors of the other houses as well as the priests. Whispers were starting to come out that Katherine had never died but escaped her son and husband from faking her death to take the crown. That was the rumor the fact was that the knew king had jailed the other heads of the country.

Ryder wandered down the street, walking into the marketplace, whispers going around about the Queen's death and how all of those people were jailed, including the leaders. Ryder had figured that he had left before the order was proclaimed and looked around warily, seeing guards wander about the marketplace, checking for thieves who might appear. Ryder watched them closely as he walked up to a merchant's cart, purchasing a white hooded cloak, putting it on and putting the hood over his face and walking off, the guards that he had been watching ran up to the cart, asking if the man they saw was who they thought he was. The merchant shrugged his shoulder and bit his thumb at the guards as they grabbed his tunic and warned him. Ryder was already on the west side of the capital, he hood still on, his pack on his back, his bow as well. He walked into an inn, purchasing a room under a fake name. He then went up to the room, sending a message to the tavern keeper to deliver his horse to the inn the next day. He then laid himself on the ced, drifting off to an uneventful sleep...
((have to go, good night.))

(still being buggy. Very very buggy.)
Paradox looked over to Katherine, "He doesn't care about the world, or solemn." Paradox told her simply with knowing eyes. Sad eyes.
Insomnia turned his head to Paradox, "And you do, my old misguided freind?" He laughed. The insanity in it was stronger than before. "I think not." His glowing eyes refocused on Katherine, watching her every move. "Death would lose his power over the world after he killed every living creature, and then be kicked out of the world, so the cycle can start anew. Why bother with such an annoyance?" He waved his hand as if the god was a weakling.

"Then what is it you want?" She spoke not looking back to Paradox then she since the other day knew a lot more, even if some things she had been missing. She knew it wasn't her he was really after. It was something she could help get for him she looked back to Paradox then her purple eyes easily looked sad as well but not for herself. For him having to sit here having to go through this and wondering if he was doing it for something of her.

Insomnia stood up, his form dwarving both Katherine's and Paradox's easily. He turned away from them, crossing his arms behind his back. "The same reason you were made, actually. The desire burns deep, in a place not even I, can itch." He made a motion of clawing at his back, and his hand became a wicked looking claw with black poison dripping off of it. He laughed at the little transformation. "To destroy the self-serving gods, once and for all. First we gather enough power, such as you have. It takes hundreds of years. Then, well, the next step shouldn't be so hard to figure out."

A smile touched her lips. "Although i am not there fan they serve and purpose and you seem to forget i am of them as well. In fact while your soul was made by them my soul was made by there maker." She didn't seem to notice his hand she looked down to Paradox. "Why don't you leave us for now my friend we have a old dance together." She spoke looking down to him, it was something someone told her but she could not think of who it was but she believed it that she held a element they didn't. It was what set her apart.

Insomnia stopped smiling. "Made by man, made from man, used by man." He quoted very seriously. His eyes became hazy, but returned to there former clarity.
Paradox shook his head, "I don't think that's the wisest idea, Katherine. This is in the center of his camp, after all." Paradox didn't try to grab any of his weapons. He knew they would be useless against Insomnia, himself.
Insomnia nodded with Paradox's idea, "You aren't technically immortal, girl. If you want to dance with me, then I will end your soul, once and for all." He touched his heart.

"Yes i know." She spoke looking to Paradox. "That is why actually. It will be easier If i am right this way." She looked back to Insomnia, "My soul ca not be crushed by you, you couldn't even contain it." She said truthfully. She knew someone important lay claim to it but she couldn't start to tell him who that was because at the moment she didn't know herself. She looked back at Paradox. "at the very least i can seal him away I am sure of that."

Insomnia laughed harder than ever. The laugh shook the entire tent, and the ground beneath. "Oh, such a sweet little girl. Why would I ever want to absorb or crush your soul? I would just cut it out from existince, otherwise you would just be reborn in some other body." His eyes moved to Paradox, "I suppose you came here to find that little blade of mine, monster. I can see yours as clear as day, but you already knew that."
Paradox waited in his seat quietly. From time to time he sipped from the poison that Insomnia had given him. "He is only partly here, Katherine."
