And with that little proclamation, Ted started to tell the man about himself. How he was a mage, his whole quest to become recognized, his plummet into the lake, about getting shot in his wing, taken in by the men. Telling about what the men had tried to do, and how Hope had allowed him to get free, after he had found out about Virgil. The promise to never abandon Hope, and how he had failed that, and how he almost left Hope to the same fate he wanted to get away from in the first place. "And now you know why I am hesitant in letting anyone close right now, especially guys. No offense, I hope."

Location: Qualos, still in her mannor in the hidden cove.... (so sorry it is taking me a while to get the hell out of dodge!)
"that is what you'll be getting repaired. The great sword Nervun, it stone is flawed with age.. It has a crack running down it. And it seems to have choosen you of all people to bear it. Just remember that those who bear it, will have something terrible happen to them. The last person to wield that sword was your uncle, he not only died but killed his own wife as well." Was her reply, but the last came out slightly chocked.
Sionet smiled at what her grandmother had just said. "New Moon choose me huh? Well it took you long enough to figure that out huh! *small laughter* But I will see to it that I complete this task and come back as an adult. but as to your other requirements don't think that will be resolved anytime soon." Was all Sionet said, her tone cold and deviod. As she swept herself out of the stance and stood erect with New Moon aka Nervun against her shoulder like a club. Which made all everyone present except her father whinch visibly.
*coughing from the side* Sionet turned to look at her parents. Amazed that they still loved each other considering everything they had be through, and she herself secretly hope to find something akin to it one day. "Well as for transportation, you will be leaving via my ship. And you will be going as the Lady Ensito Methin-Falvern. Daughter to the heir apparent to the duke and duchess of haven. My mother and father. Your ship will leave in 2 days time." was all he said, but his eye took a deeper darker look of sadness in them. Which only shocked her more to her very core. Sionet hadn't ever known that her father was the duke and duchess son, or that he could show that kind of emotion.
With a nod of her head she turned on the ball of her foot and started to leave before her grandmother could dismiss her. Which invoked a comment from one of the other elders present, "How do you tolerate such a rude child Llienda. I wouldn't expect much else from a half breed but this is ridiculouos no matter what gifts she has!" Sionet stopped at the doorway and spoke in her soft but audible voice, "She doesn't really tolerate it, it is how we communicate sir.WE don't EXACTLY see eye to eye. But this is our way of being some what civil right Grams!?" her voice came out calm collected adn held every bit of regalness that Llienda's did when she was issuing an order and expected results.
A smile thought slim spread across Llienda's face, "Yes Yes it is. I don't approve of her tainted blood, but she is truelly one of of our own in most ways." her voice showing pride for the first time in a long while. Sionet was happy, but glad that they couldn't see the tears welling in her eyes. Before she finished walking out of the room she waved her right hand and spoke to her mother and father. "Well I hope you have a boy this time. I don't think that I can deal with a little sister. Epecially if she is like me Mom, dad!" her voice every bit as impish, and really wanting to see the look on the old hags face.
She had heard the gasp of shock and the swishing of skirts as her grandmother turned. "WHAT!? Another one!? HEAVEN FORBID IT!" she all but yelled. Her mother and father both blushing crimson. "Your pregnant again, why didn't you tell me Clearisen." he asked his voice shocked, upset adn happy. Clearisen wide eye'd just looked at everyone and replied in turn with her sweet musical soprano. "Mom you'll get over it, and deal with it. And dearest heart.. .your a FRACKING DOCTOR and you couldn't tell the signs for the last 2 months?"
Shutting the doors behind her on the chaos she caused she practically ran back to her room, as the hot tears poured down her face. She closed her door quietly and began to pack what she would need. Placing New Moon no the bed carefully. "You know that wasn't very nice to do there Son!" it spoke aloud to her. "I don't care, but she would of been found out in another 2 months any ways when she started to show." Was all Sionet said her voice still stained with tears.

{{Just finished reading all of the thread up till now. WOW! xp This thread is interactive. Even though we don't have everyone on at the same time....}} Location: Qualos, in her room in the hidden cove. Packing her things didn't take long. She new what she needed, and most defineately had to bring. She shrugged her sholders, eyes still red from the tears she cried. With a wry grin on her lips she looked at the ornate trunk. Oddly happy to use it for the first time in 7 years.
She had packed up at least a weeks worth of dresses. But in the false bottom she had all her knives, daggers and other misellaneous things hidden. Including her favored male clothes in mass. A soft knock came upon her door, before she could answer Llienda glided in. That damned hag never walks always seemed to glide in her opinion. She stopped short of her granddaughter, with a slight look of surprise that she had already packed.
Holding up a little back ruck sack, she spoke. "Her young lady, the things in this bad will help you. I have placed a small gaeas on it so it will never leave you even if you are seperated. It contains a flint that creates a magical fire that can never be doused by water. But your wind talent will work quite nicely. And there are several tomes that I know you haven't read from my library, as well as stuff to take notes on...... and maybe write letters home." her voice standoffish and some what resonating with sadness.
Taken back by her grandmothers gesture, she tentatively took the ruck sack. "Thank....you! Why are you going to such lengths to help me? Do you really want me to be gone that badly? I mean I know you have never approved of me, or the fact I was blessed in mass with all the greatest talents of the Siren's abilities. Plus a few from my human side as well. Though I don't think much of them." She said her voice wary.
Her head jerking as if she had been slapped, Llienda looked totally affronted. And with speed that was hard to follow with normal eyes, she slapped her impertinent granddaughter Sionet hard across the face. "I may not approve of you, for the taint in your blood. But I have all these years supported you with out a thought for what the council has pushed for. HELL i have even played the hate and hurt word game with you. You young lady are my flesh and blood. I do care some what for your sorry a**. I want you to make me proud. This is to prove to the other elders as well as the other clan members that you are worthy to live here as you like." Her voice broke only once during all this.
Sionet's face stung horribly from that all to familiar slap. But she was shocked to her core. The hurtful, mean and sometimes abusive grandmother, had actually been doing that to protect her, make her strong and to help her survive. With out thinking she pulled Llienda into a fierce hug. " I will never doubt you again, but the sheraide must go on a little longer. I will be going to the village tomorrow to make my farewells to my friends that I have gathered. As well as my collages in the study of health and medical." she said her voice choking with more tears.
"OH FOR PETE'S SAKE YOU TWO!" Came a obnoxious voice from the bed. Startling Llienda to her core. Looking around the room and seeing no one but them she stammered ,"W-who's there?" Sionet walked over and picked up New Moon. "You know your an a**, just like always." The pommel stone winked a few times. "Yea and your a stubborn twit, who almost killed herself to get a closer look at me by climbing up the wall onto the mantel, because she hadn't gotten her wings" It replied. Her grandmother just watched this in bewilderment. "The sword is talking, truly talking. I thought it was just a legend. And that it hasn't spoken for at least 300 years. Since my father was killed......when I was only 200." she said breathlessly.
Sionet turned to her grandmother confused by what she said. "What do you mean? He never shuts up. and is an arrogant p***k. I have heard his voice since the first day I arrived here and saw him." her voice holding the cofused tone. "NO! NO! I was talking mentally to myself. I wasn't aware that she had heard me. And I usually talk directly into your mind Sin. Besides this old bat and everyone else doesn't really interest me in the least conversational wise." it replied snidely. His tone getting a sniff of disgust from Llienda.

{{HEY I forgot to post this in my profile for all of you.... She was born under a gaeas, SHE CAN NOT LIE! doesn't mean she can't beat around the bush, re-direct you, or tell only half the truth. She just can't like, like saying red ink is blue. and other major things. Think of Jim Carries movie Liar Liar. only permanently!}}
She appeared in her favorite spot behind her mistress' throne. The room was soon filled with the aroma of Roses and Exotic spices. She heard the man report and lifted her lip in disgust at this. Then her mouth dropped in outrage at his request for more power. Getting pissed off at the gall this man had, she started to get up, but heard her beloved mistress speak, and offer more power to this weakling in her opinion.
*sighs* "Mistress Twilight, why are your rewarding this.... THIS Man's ineptitude with more power. He should be punished.... Like demoted or something. Please tell me.... That MY Great and Wonderful Mistress hasn't become soft hearted in the eight years I have been gone?" her voice at first holding disgust when referring the man. But when she started to speak to Twilight, her voice held nothing but pure worship and a little bit of scolding.
She awaited her Mistress reply patiently. She also sensed that some one else she cared about was in the castle. That causing a big grin to wash across her perfectly sculpted face.
I'll get to Shade as soon as she report's to Twilight ok.

At last, far more exhausted than before, Shade collapses at the next shelter he can find. Looking around, his relief turns to confusion. The new shelter is exactly the same as the last, as well as the landscape surrounding it. "This can't be right, am I walking in circles somehow?"

Twilights lips twich in a flicker of a smile. Without speaking she directs her thaughts to the figure standing behind the throne. "Power is like a drug, my dear. The more you offer, the more they want, and to get it they will do anything you ask of them. Unfortunately, should they ask for more than they can handle, it will burn them to ash. Until that time, however it is a useful way to keep others under control."

Location: Qualos.... still the same spot, but now in the city haven. Walking blithely down the street, she wore the baggy men's shirt and leggings again. But now on her feet were soft tanned deer hide boots, her head covered by a concealing cloak and hood. To any one looking at her, she appeared to be a young man with feminine features.. She turned a corner walking into a well known Pub. At the back was a group of people all waiting on her arrival. She Dropped the hood of the cloak, the candle and torch light caught her glasses and gleamed brightly.
"HEY YOUR Here finally!" a few bellowed loudly. Shaking her head she sat down and the waitress put a small ornate bottle in front of her... It glowed a Amber Orange. Picking it up and popping the cork soon a fruity smell wafted around the table.... making almost every one drool. She smiled at their reaction to the rarest of all alcohols in this world, Eleverquist. The wine of the Elves. She knew how to make it in mass, and had a private store in the cellar. The Barkeep let her since she had saved his daughter from a badly ruptured appendix a few years ago.
"Cheers everyone. For on the morrow I will set sail, on my independant study in the world for a few years at the most." she said, though her voice and facial expression was a mask of false cheerfulness, her eyes hidden by the glow off her glasses held a profound sadness in them. She did think it was best to leave now, so as not to harm the good people she had known all her life. "YA, You go.... Wish you didn't have to leave at all. But you know We all wish you luck.... And got together and pitched in.... it isn't much... But it is about 2g in gold." One young and bubble brunette said as a heavy little leather bag plunked on the table.
Her eyes widened at this. She knew she wouldn't ever need for money, but she took it any way as good faith to these people she called a friend. she raised her little bottle in a silent toast and slammed it quickly. The rest soon followed. They did this repeatedly until the tavern was empty... It was almost 2 am in the morning. When one of her young collages asked if she would sing for them, since he hadn't heard her do so since she disappeared from their elementary school at the age of ten.
A wan smile crossed her lips. She nodded and stood up, looking at the Barkeep, who quickly ushered his bar maids out the door. They grumbled crankely, they had heard of her beautiful voice from when she was a child. Hell some of them were her classmates then. She walked up and stepped lightly on the stage. With a nod of her head, the Barkeep felt a slight pressure of air in his ears. With a deep breath, and a quick Exhale she began to sing a soft and sad melody. With this she would put them to sleep for at least 2 days, and their memories of this night would be blurry as to how they fell asleep. Just assuming it was their liquor consumption.
"In the morning sunlight we all gather to begin a new day,
we tell each other that, no matter what we'd always be together.
But time has come to take it's toll on us hopeful youth,
those of us who dream our wishful dreams.
Now as the sun reaches noon and we realize,
realize that we are missing a few.
Though curious and saddened by this view,
the rest of us continue with that dream to stay together always.
Soon the Twilight has come; our heart's greatly saddened more,
tears of pain, loss and sorrow on our faces from it all.
There are a few of us left; to fight the destiny the sisters fate had given us,
but now though our numbers few, Twilight is turning to nigh, and I must leave you all.
I wish it weren't true, but it is my time;
to go to the lands beyond to find my goal and dreams once again."
She ended this on a trill, her voice so pure and melodic had drifted them all to sleep with it's power. Tears slowly slid down her face as she hit her knee's sad to think that she may never see these friends of her's again, or her family for that matter. She then vowed to Kill Twilight with her own hands. She pulled a dagger from her boots and sliced her palm of both her hands with this vow as she walked out into the deserted streets. Releasing her wings she took off towards home. The tears hot against her cold wind whipped face. The storm she felt yesterday brewing and would be coming to a head once she was at sea.

Osiris glanced up. "My Queen, power is no drug to me. I can handle it, any amount that you plan to give me, and use it for building you the rest of your empire." He looked back down. "So, does that mean you have no more power for me?"

Shade264 Location: Anara, throne room Twilights lips twich in a flicker of a smile. Without speaking she directs her thoughts to the figure standing behind the throne. "Power is like a drug, my dear. The more you offer, the more they want, and to get it they will do anything you ask of them. Unfortunately, should they ask for more than they can handle, it will burn them to ash. Until that time, however it is a useful way to keep others under control"
DD smiled at this response. With a shrug of her shoulders both mental and physical she phased her hands through the throne on either side of Twilight and began to rub her shoulders. Speaking aloud with that same worshiping voice to her Mistress; "Damn it Mistress Nii-chan who has gone and made you so stressed.... Any whooo's *giggles* I am ready to make my report to you. About my said target." She continues to rub the tension from Twilight's shoulders. Her voice high pitched almost valley girlish.
"would you like me to give it to you now? or after you finish with the redundant idiot there... Nope I wont wait for you finish, I have plans and want to get to those plans. I will report now." she said as she stopped giving her a shoulder rub. She phased the rest of the way through the throne and Twilight to be right in front of her.. Her long golden blond hair swaying down her back. Her clothing was that of a simple cut white dress that hung from her shoulders.
Dawn Dusk made sure to keep well away from the vile thing on the floor. Her dress was low enough it would make people wonder how it stayed on her overly impressive chest. "Well I went as soon as the child manifested the powers. Control has been gained, and somewhat mastered as well. The child also has a strong Healing talent to balance out that weapon naturally is born with. Said child alone from what I saw of it's practices can desimate three of your strongest squadrons. Especially if amplified. Though as for joining us..... I hate to say either strong persuasion or extreme physical force would work my majesty." She spoke in a curt formal tone as an officer would give to a commanding officer. Bowing as she finished she gave a level eye to look at Twilight, any who saw it would term it a challenge, but in her eyes was a look of needing approval.

Twilight gives Dusk a slight nod. "Persuade her if at all possible, should force become necessary, remember that I want her alive." Waving her hand in dismissal, Twilight turns her attention back to Osiris. "Am I to assume then, that you do not want additional power?"

Dawn Dusk turned to the man on the floor, quickly entered his mind and found his name as Osiris. "Hmm Mistress, other then my odd report i have been absent. Who is this man.... Osiris is his name. Is he a new general? Oh and you'll have to get some one else to do. She will be leaving tomorrow evening on a ship headed out to sea to Gatha Island. I have been a devoted worker for 8 years. I am now officially on vacation. You just dismissed me. I think I will go torment your son.." she said airily as she looked down her nose at him.
Her body language told him that she thought she was better then him. Tilting her head to the side. She crouched down on the thrones platform so she was eye level with Osiris. "he doesn't look like much. Must be good if he is one of your men though. Nice to meet you!" she said, though her voice was distant, mistrustful and disdainful. But there was a little honesty in it. as she leaned forward more, her cleavage became more apparent and pronounced as she sniffed at him, smelling him like an animal.
