Part 2

[Dynamax]

"Actually Milady this is aggressive negotiations. Elias is both trying to talk down Vadris and..your extended family from doing anything needless." Mr. Bluestone says.

"His actions sped thing up but consider if she wasn't brought to us what would he have done with her? If we were not exposed she would still be with him." Elias says. "But I don't play might have beens."

"I had no intention of harming her." Vadris says.

"Call off your men then. Otherwise you'll harm my people and I'll have to stop you." Elias says. "For Vanora if nothing else."

Vadris looks down at her, caught off guard by how she was looking at him. "ALL FORCES STAND DOWN...NOW!!"

Elias withdraws the Elemental. "All of our forces, do the same."

Rondar looked pained. "AS WILL MINE!!"

-------------

"Say what now?" Jagi remarks.

"HE SAID STOP HITTING ME!!!" Crytax yells at Trophis.

------------

"Well fun's done. This will continue another day:" Ginza says, returning to the others.

-----------

"Apparently it doesn't matter." Karn says.

Kaizo snarls. "But I was going to have my revenge."

------------

"Then we're good then." Rowena says.

"If it is what Gloriana wants...and the Elf King." Ildor says.

"Vaughn, lower your flight path." Desmond says.

------------------

"So we need to return?" Dahak says, overhearing them, smiling at Cecilia.

------------------

"Well that's weird, I think they've both begun to surrender?" Phillipe asks.

[Inkshade]

Vanora relaxes a bit "Extened family?" she asks

"Hi." Luca says.

She looks at him "Hello..."

Loruel lands and walks over to them "Brothers, you know what to do." he says.

Daito nods "Yes, yes...we know."

Mora stands close to Rondar, keeping an eye out in case Vadris ordered his men to attack again.

-------

"No, I think he only meant not to attack anyone from a different side." Claire says, curious if it would work.

-------

Airou stands up strait and walks over to Aikia "Let's get to the others." he says.

-----

Ammon nods "I didn't get to use my wormies...tiny worms are so hard to enchant..." he tells Karn

-----

"That we are." Rhis grins

Osiron nods.

Vaughn nods "R-right...*cough* Ermm...down dragon...er lower.." he lightly nudges the dragon and it drops lowwer a little too suddenly for Vaughn and he starts coughing. he stops after about seven coughs and groans "I look pathetic...and King Ildor is right there....he's never going to let me marry Gloriana..." he thinks

------

"Yup. Gotta' defend the castle from impending attack!" Gaz says "Oh! And Dahak this is your lucky day! For you are being assigned a great task! See that shining example of a youth over there?" he turns to point to Caed, who had been taken by two drunk dwarves and sat down between them. they were handing him a mug of some sort of liquor, swearing up and down it would make him feel better.

"That young man is hero who exposed Rondar's whereabouts! As one of his rewards, the King is putting him under one lucky General, as a ward, and that lucky general is you!" Gaz grins.

Caed hesitantly sips some of whatever he was given. he gags and starts coughing because it burned. the ones around him laugh and pat him.

---------

"Really?" Lakyri looks

"Drinks all around!" Dred jokes.

[Dynamax]

"If 'what to do' means take her, you take us as well." Elias says. "All of us if you're trying to be impartial." Elias says. "I meant what I said. If you try to force her to come with you I'll cut you down. You'd do the same in reverse after all I presume."

"Elias, don't you think you're overdoing it?" Anastasia asks as he walks up.

"I let her get taken once. Never again." The runes die down as he walks up to Vanora. "He and I hit each other once...I am sorry Vanora." He lowers himself. "I'll accept any punishment for it, he and I were lost in our motions but we tried..."

Vadris floats down and stands back. "i think we should just relax and..." He turns his head. "TROPHIS YOU DIPSHIT, STOP ATTACKING CRYTAX!!" He glares. "...Talk now like you said Loruel."

-------------

Trophis looks up only to be punched off of Crytax.

"You're in trouble you jackass." Crytax gets up. "And you...just for that last attempt next time I go all out on you." He threatens Claire.

"And here i thought you'd never have a date Claire." Jagi teases.

--------------

"Indeed." Aikai says before putting a hand on his shoulder. "Airou...umm..." She then lean over and kisses him on the cheek. "Thank you."

-------------

"A pity, I was looking forward to seeing how strong you all were." Kaizo says.

"To the Boss, Boss." Ronka says, taking flight.

"Right." Kaizo points his hand at Goshin's corpse and it suddenly ignites. "There...now that witch can't turn you into a puppet. Hell's Force...not using a number right now...TO VADRIS!!" The four take flight and rush tot hir master's side.

Thimos growls.

"I know, right there with you both." Karn says.

--------------

"You're worrying too much, that will cause the real mistakes. He knows what you are like and in truth he's not as close minded as some thing, I'm just an exception." Desmond says. "He likes you more than me that's for sure."

"So you are sure none of your choice is in part you reliving Rowena of any necessity to marry Rothion?" Ildor asks. "If it is I can respect that."

-------------

"Alright but before I go there's a slave I need to look at. I got recommended a bodyguard. You two can come along if you want and just warp out then and there." Dahak says.

-------------

"Makes me wonder what happened to do it. Has me worried some." Phillip says.

[Inkshade]

"Relax boy, it doesn't." Loruel says he looks to Vadris "What we have to speak on is private business. Certain ears are not meant to hear it."

Vanora smiles at Elias "You aren't in trouble...I just don't want my friends fighting..."

Vito watches Loruel suspitiously.

"Uncle Vito, how are these men related to me?" Vanora asks him

"Hmm? Oh ehhh..." Vito starts

"Brother, why does sister call you uncle?" Luca asks "It's weird..."

"What?" Vanora looks confused.

---------

"I know it. I hope he brings flowers." Claire laughs, clearly not too threatened.

---

Airou turns red and smiles "Heh, no problem...you still need to show me those elementals forming...couldn't have them threatening you..."

-----

Ammon sighs comically "Alas, another day gentlemen."

---

"I know..." Vaugh sighs "I can't help it...everytime I try to be useful I get sick..."

"You know me too well." Osiron sighs, but he smiles "Rest assured though, I want this."

--------

"Sounds good! I'll get the kid!" Gaz says. he runs over to Caed and rescues him.

Melgath gets up, hearing them.

--------

"Yeah...me too..." Lakyri frowns

"And there goes the positive outlooks..." Dred sighs.
---

[Dynamax]

"Brother?" Elias looks at them. "You're her...brother Vito?"

"Mora, can you and Vortigern clear this up if you can. I trust you to be less cryptic than our new guests." Rondar says. "That is if your one cousin can stop badmouthing us."

"Yes, I'd like an explanation." Anastasia says. "Though i think I'm one of the few here in the dark." She says, gazing at Gregor.

"I have my orders Ana...sorry." Gregor says.

"Then those that don't. Explain in full, please." Elias asks.

---------

"You're no fun to tease." Jagi puts his whip away. "By the way, nice to see you keeping step."

---------

"Indeed I do. I have a lot to show you." Aikia says.

---------

"Somehow I can tell you're not as angry as we are." Karn says.

"Those five killed Elias' mother." Thimos says. "This is personal for us."

--------

"Yet you're still here." Faeral says, taking point on the other side. "Where lesser men would quit. That speaks enough."

"Leave it to you Faeral to come in." Desmond chuckles.

"DESMOND, WHY ARE YOU BACK THERE? TAKE THE LEAD!!" Ildor yells.

"Excuse me, I have to play the part of a human shield." Desmond says sadly.

"Getting back on topic, I know you well. However...i could think of worse fates that Mirael." Ildor grins.

Rowena frowns as she watches Desmond fly off.

-------------

"Well I am afraid our time here has come to an end." Dahak turns and bows to Edwin and Onobi. "I will see you around I'll bet. Hope you two enjoy yourselves."

"Good luck Dahak." Edwin says.

--------------

"You failed the test Lakyri. Would Elias give up if the Princess was in danger?" Phillipe says. "He'd be dead first if anything."

[Inkshade]

Mora looks a bit shocked "Wait....Your name is...Vito?" she asks

"Yes...Vito Di Vanesco, and yes the same as you are thinking Mora." Vito sighs and waits expectingly for her responce.

"But...that's...Vito Di Vanesco it the founder of my family..." Mora says "That would mean you..."

"Are very old...yes." Vito sighs

"Been keeping secrets brother?" Loruel teases

"Shut it." he snaps, then looks to Elias "The Queen and I are not siblings. She is my mother, as is she the mother of these three." he says and nods to Loruel, Daito and Luca. "The Queen isn't human. She's a demon from this side of the wall; 'Mother'." he looks to Vanora "Rhis isn't your only brother...you have several. These three aren't all, we have many brothers...you're our only sister though." he says "And Luca's staring because he used to be one of the youngest and he's happy he has someone he can look after now."

Luca grins.

"Wait....mother is a?....That makes me half....and Rhis is....we're both..." Vanora stammers, in shock.

"Yes. You're both half demon." Vito nods.

-----------

"You know me." Claire smiles "Nice to see you still hound Airou."

----

Airou smiles "I'm looking forward to it."

----

"One of them could have been the one who killed my father." Ammon says in a casual tone "I honestly don't know who killed him. But I keep a positive outlook. We need it in such a hateful world..."

--------

Vaughn nods "I suppose..."

Osiron laughs "Yes, I'm not exactally being tortured. She seems excited about it, so as long as she's ok with it, I'm sure she will grow on me."

Rhis smiles. He couldn't hear his father and Ildor, but he could see how happy his father was. "they are really close huh?"

-------

"Thank you for coming." Onobi smiles

"RIGHT THIS WAY." Melgath says.

Cecilia follows with Dahak, holding his arm.

Caed follows Gaz, glancing at Dahak.

"OH YEAH!" Gaz exclaims "Caed, this is Dahak, the Queen's brother and your other mentor...er that is if he accepts. But I don't understand why he wouldn't I mean look at you! Already a protegy of magic because of me, you are a pillar of potential!"

"You've been calling me a pillar of various things all day...." Caed sighs.

-------

"Weeeeel sooooorrry!" Lakyri snaps "I'm just a little worried because my idiot brother has his eyes on a girl, and he's a clone of our dad! Which means he's going to do stupid things to get her! Imagine if your brothers and sister were there! You'd be worried too!"

Dred pauses "I'm happy I'm an only child."

"I thought you said you don't know your family..."

"Yup." Dred nods.

[Dynamax]

"Are you ok?" Elias stands up and puts his hand on Vanora's shoulder. "Why keep this a secret?" Elias asks. "And how did that business with Osiron go down? No secrets, no cover ups. If you're coming clean then tell her all she needs to know. If Osiron is a threat I need to know how and why."

"That i'd be interested in haring about too." Vadris says, walking up.

"Did you know?" Elias asks.

"That she was a demon half breed? Not at all." Vadris says.

--------------

"Lakyri and I are the two who motivate him best." Jagi laughs.

--------------

"I am too." Aikia says.

----------------

"I'll compensate for that then." Thimos teases.

-------------------

"Trust me. You're doing well." Faeral says.

"They are close." Rowena says.

"She is rather vibrant, I wonder how that will affect you?" Ildor asks. "Will I see a bit of the you of old?"

-----------------

"You have much patience young man, a good thing." Dahak teases them both.

---------------

"They are not that b...I can't say that sentence. I am no liar." Phillip says.

---------------

"BEHOLD MY SKILL WON OUT!!" Iago yells.

"You ran." Cassius says.

"I also live." Iago says.

"I did more than you two combined." Victoria says.

[Inkshade]

Vito sighs "Mother...doesn't have any of her powers accept long life now. She gave them to the wall. Caedmon thought it safest for her to go there. I went with her because of my powers to transform things and people. I made us look like children, and set the magic to make her grow like a human and I a Sorcerer like my father. We lived a life there as humans, as was her wish. There is no more to it than that. She wanted to go to your side." he pauses "As for Dracwall. She was not forced into it. He is just one of the many loves mother has had through her life. You see...mother is a demon like Caedmon and Brann. The three chose to abandon their demonic ways, however to go against all of your nature is death to anyone. Each has a demonic quality that has remained. Caedmon; his self serving nature. Brann; his rage. And Mother, her lust. She loves to love. She is not living if she is not expressing her love to someone. It's not sexual desire, before any of you jump to that. It is pure caring and compassion. Drystan is one of the few she has married, other's such as Osiron, and Luca's father, where short flings." Vito explains "Osiron is not dangerous, Vortigern is just mad that he disrupted mother's happieness on the other side. I have made a respect for mother very important to the values of my descendants."

"Does...does my father know?" Vanora asks

"No. Mother wanted to live a life as a human. Which included not informing him." Vito says

---------

"Doesn't seem like that will be so exclusive for long" Claire says and looks at Airou with Aikia "It explains why he never got a girlfriend back home. He likes a girl with nice blue skin."

------

Ammon chuckles "Why not? We're already opposites." he says cryptically.

---------

"I'm going to have to trust you because I sure don't see it." Vaughn sighs.

"That's good. Everyone needs someone that close to them." Rhis smiles.

"Who knows? Maybe she'll coax him out." Osiron sighs.

--------

"Heh, thanks." Caed says

"What's that suposed to mean?!" Gaz says

--------

"That's right!" Lakyri nods.

[Dynamax]

"Then it is your mother...but why? Why does the wall exist...and why does it keep my Father there and me away?" Vadris asks.

"First ask yourself what your father is to the world Boy. To you he is Daddy, to the rest of the world....he is an enemy of life." Mr. Bluestone says.

"Shut up you..." Vadris eyes widen. "Wait...in this light you...those eyes..."

"Blast...I'm outed too soon it seems. No matter, the board has changed." Mr. Bluestone says.

"Gamuldar..." Vadris sneers. "YOU SON OF A BITCH!!"

"Only part of Gamuldar really. A part of my soul is not within me. I am a creature of order and chaos now. My humanity...was accidentally put in the Gamuldar that remains here." Mr. Bluestone says. "I am only a fragment." He looks at Vito. "You may tell him, it will avail him naught at all."

----------------

"It's not so physical an attraction. He wanted someone to protect, to bring the man out in him." Jagi says. "I'd be more into someone to match my wit myself. Not to say the curves and that aren't a draw for him."

------------------

"God and demon? Or you going more philosophical?" Thimos asks.

-----------------

"I'll leave that to the Princess. I lack the charm to bring it out." Faeral jokes.

"That they do. Though I see you're reaching out to Jast." Rowena says.

"Let's hope so. Maybe then I can find the old me too." Ildor says.

----------------

"You're a lot to take in sometimes Gaz." Dahak says. "You've got a lot of intensity to you."

----------------

"Having said that you think they've sent a search party out for us?" Phillipe says.

----------------

"Peace talks? This will not do, those interfering swine." Dagren snaps. "Vadris...don't lose your edge, I want to kill the man who murdered my father. Killing a love sick puppy will lack the satisfaction."

"Do not worry, with enough work I am sssure we can convinssse Vadrisss to make the right move my Massster." A hideous Gelgath speaks.

"True enough Vossh." Dagren says. "Where are those kids?"

"Here Father." A girl appears. "I was preparing Ghork. He got overly excited and I had to calm him down."

"Rufina, I thought you trained him better." Dagren says.

"It has been some time since you used him, it can't be helped." The girl says.

"I can share the sssentiment. It hasss been to long since my clawsss were washed in blood." Vossh says.

[Inkshade]

Vito looks at Mr.Bluestone "What about the wall?" he laughs "You're kidding right? Mother doesn't even tell her children about that. All I know is they created it long before his father was trapped back there."

"How curious, mother didn't tell me that. She told me that a demon gave his life for the wall." Loruel says.

Vanora looks at Luca and Daito "Did...did she tell you two something different as well?"

Luca smiles and stands right behind Vanora and rests his chin on her shoulder "Mother said they built the wall so the snakes wouldn't eat the baby birds." he grins

"Idiot, just shut up." Daito says "That isn't useful at all, it's just something she told you because your a child."

"Oh yeah? And what did she tell you?" Vito asks, glareing at him

"Nothing, I didn't ask."

--------

"I think it's odd he's attracted to her. Magic and all..." Claire says "I get the impression these demon folk are rather magical...."

----------

Airou sighs "How long do you figure this ceasefire will last?"

-------

Ammon thinks "A little of both." he nods

-----

Vaughn chuckles.

Rhis nods "Yes, he liked my mother it seems. I'm not sure how much he'll like me now that your father aknowledges me...I think he was hoping that he wouldn't." he shrugs "I'll get to him, even if he resists."

Osiron nods "Once all this fighting is over we'll both be able to be our old selves."

-----------

"Hey, I'm just honest! I'm powerful and intense so I act it!" Gaz proclaims

Cecilia giggles.

Caed was finally getting his thoughts in order. he sees Melgath and then looks at Gaz.

"Hmm? Oh right! Your sister!" Gaz says "I don't know if we can do that now kid, Ildor has to write the order and he's busy."

"WHAT'S ALL THIS?" Melgath asks

"Caed's other reward for his heroic actions is his sister is supposed to be freed. Things got a bit too busy though so we don't have an official release order." Gaz explains.

"HMM, IF YOU SEE HER POINT HER OUT AND WE'LL HAVE HER SET ASIDE AND OUT OF TOMOROW'S AUCTION." Melgath says. "IF YOU DON'T SEE HER DESCRIBE HER AND GIVE ME A NAME AND WE'LL FIND HER. WE'LL KEEP HER HERE UNTIL WE GET THE KING'S ORDER, THAT WAY NO ONE HAS TO WORRY."

Caed nods, and starts paying more attention to the people in the cells.

--------

"Don't know. We left real suddenly, but it was the Princess, so the King would be more likely to want to send more people out." Lakyri says

"Hmmmmm." Dred says "Yeah. I got a feeling there are more of you here." he nods as he plays with his necklace.

-------

Shaylin stood quietly, just listening to Dagren and the others. she had a hooded cloak on to hide her appearance.

----

Sonya and Niodai walked through the grounds of Melgath's camp, about to head up to the party to find him.

Niodai stops "He has moved." he says, with some stones in his hand "They say he has gone this way." he turns

"That's where he keeps the slaves." Sonya says "Let's go. I follow your lead."

Niodai nods and follows the direction his stones tell him. he tosses them in his hands frequently for accurate directions.

[Dynamax]

"Exactly. Your answers are not with them Vadris." Mr. Bluestone says.

"And what of you?" Vadris says.

"That pat gets hazy, I did lose memories in my division." Mr. Bluestone says. "All I know is why he was sealed off. "

"Well then you best talk." Kaizo says as he lands. "Honzai will get upset if you don't."

"He nearly destroyed the world once, and I do mean that in a literal sense. He had to be stopped before he did." Mr. Bluestone answers.

"It wasn't that bad." Honzai yells.

"Those spells he discovered were the most forbidden of all. He could kill a God with them." Mr. Bluestone says. "Think of the fallout of such power."

-------------

"Love conquers all?" Jagi shrugs. "I dunno, since when did that spaz make sense?"

"He's kind of got a point there I'd hate to say." Octavia says.

------------

"I don't know. i have a bad feeling." Aikia says. "It might start again."

------------

"You seem like an interesting man, God-King of the forest tribe of humans." Thimos says.

------------

"Actually according to my brother a wall has more charm than me." Faeral says with a smirk.

"You will, it'd be hard to hate a wonderful man like you." Rowena says.

"Depends. I have to kill my brother twice now." Ildor sighs. "And face Rondar..." Ildor looks over. "I must confess something. I prayed that he would stay in hiding. I have...had my fill of such dark deeds but now..."

----------

"It would be ironic if she was here and we found her." Dahak says. "Please, tell us about her."

Suddenly a growl is heard behind them.

"So you caught up." Dahak turns. "Cecilia, Caed. This is my enforcer, Burai."

Burai looks at Cecilia like he was trying to figure out what she was.

----------

Moments ago a guard came by to tell Saida Dahak was coming for him. He sat there nervous, muttering to himself as he checked himself over before finally speaking to Titania. "Ok, we know how we're doing this right?"

----------

"I have a feeling we'll find out." Phillipe says. "So how far ARE we going?"

----------

"How long are you going to stand there Woman? You finally have some use and you're being a wallflower. Look....Osiron is with my brother. Now we got some common ground. Revenge." Dagren says. "I thought you'd be pleased."

[Inkshade]

Vanora looks confused "Why would anyone want to destroy the world?...They would die too."

---------

"Yeah, I get that feeling too." Airou says

-----

"Eh, not that interesting." Ammon says "You're far more interesting. Son of the Devil King who bends space at will. Far more interesting."

-------

"I'm sure that isn't true." Vaughn says

Rhis smiles "Thanks."

Osiron nods "His son is a friend of Rhisiart's, perhaps he can arrange some sort of agreement. Banishment to the other side or something of the like. There is too much blood on both our family names."

--------

Cecilia looks at Burai the same way "What a strange cat..."

Caed looks at Burai "Err, hello." he says, then looks at Dahak "He name is Titania and she's older than me. She's blonde and too pretty for her own good."

Melgath laughs "SPOKEN LIKE A TRUE BROTHER."

------

Titania nods "If he likes you, you say you aren't going without me."

---

Dred shrugs "Beats me. I'm just following the ones in front of us..."

-----

Shaylin shifts uncomfortably "Osiron?..." she frowns. I don't want revenge...he's hurting himself...he has to be....Dragen is going to make me fight him...

[Dynamax]

"He doesn't understand that part. He just sought the end of all who would oppose him." Mr. Bluestone says. "The sad part is all who understand that fact...are enemies."

"You bloody well LIE!!" Honzai says. "Our Father is not so foolish. You...you don't understand him."

"His lover died, a casualty of his war, and he blamed the world at large. A lot on Nostroth due to both him bearing witness and the two once competing for her hand. Which spawned your twisted blood feud. Common sense died there too." Mr. Bluestone says. "Miss anything aside from emotional comprehension?"

Vadris hisses. "Tact."

--------------

"Keep your guard up, as well as your gaze." Aikia smiles, noting he was checking her out.

--------------

"Heh...not really. I may be multidimensional in my magics but i am one dimensional as a person." Thimos says.

------------------

"I am not the most sociable person." Faeral says.

"No need to thank me, I was stating a fact." Rowena says.

"He is too much like Misentia...he would never accept such terms." Ildor says. "Not to say I won't try but...I expect nothing from it." He tone was sad.

-----------------

"He's part demon now, he was a rebel but he's been changed to work for the King." Dahak explains.

----------------

"Yeah. Good, then we shouldn't have any worries." Saida says.

------------------

"Oh that's less comforting." Phillipe says. "That and Cornelius' silence is kind of unnerving now."

"We're going to their base dolt." Cornelius speaks up. "Try not to
be so glum if you trying to boost morale."

-------------------

"It ssseemsss not." Vossh says.

"Might be for the best all things considered." Rufina says. "Otherwise we'd be targets too."

"Who says you're not." Argus walks in.

"Argus, behave." Jolden says.

"Yes Father." Argus looks at Shaylin and smiles as he passes her.

"Is that everyone here?" Dragen says.

"It seems so Father." Sabrel says.

[Inkshade]

"Sounds more like a man raving because of lost love to me." Loruel says

Vanora thinks on this.

-------

"Hmm? Oh! Heh...Sorry." Airou half smiles "It's hard not to look...you're very beautiful. thimos has good reason to be watchful."

----

"Nooo." Ammon says "I disagree."

---

"Well, I've never talked to a wall, so as it stands right now, you are more socialble than one." Vaughn says and coughs.

"Is that so? Well then you have no need to thank me for saying that his opinion of you will fast change, because no one could hate such kind, loving, radiant beauty such as yourself." Rhis smiles

"You never know, his son might have a stronger influence on him than you could imagine. As well, Dagren is going to be an enemy to the both of you. You may need to suggest a temporary truce in order to take care of him." Osiron says

---------

Cecilia nods "Ohhh. Ok. What pretty stripes." she smiles at Burai

-----

Titania nods "Hopefully."

-----

"What's so discomforting about it? It's a sign of trust. We trust the men in front of us to take us the right way, as those behind us do us." Dred says.

--------

Shaylin smiles slightly at Argus.

[Dynamax]

Honzai's hands begin to glow with energy. "Shut up."

"Honzai, no!!" Vadris yells.

"Goshin, can you ca...oh bugger, that's right." Kaizo lets out an annoyed snarl. "Ginza?" He says without needing more as he rubs his temples.

"On it Boss." Ginza walks over to his friend and tries to calm him down.

"It'll be ok Kaizo." Ronka says.

"No, it will not. You know how HARD it was to find a telepath of Goshin' caliber?" Kaizo says.

"Sorry, our Father is as sensitive a topic to us as your Mother." Vadris says to Loruel.

"What would you do with that knowledge Vadris? What will he do with it once he is freed? Would he not seek his revenge?" Elias says.

Vadris goes silent, not wanting to voice the answer.

---------------

Aikia giggles. "So you finally put it to words." She smiles. "You're quite charming yourself, and handsome too."

----------------

"I live only for my family and my quest to stop Vadris' evil. Not much too me beyond that." Thimos says. "I've not a social person and all there is left of me is my rage."

---------------

"Thanks." Faeral says. "I'll trust your word on that."

"Heh...you're so sweet." Rowena says, hugging him.

"I would hope so, then again it might make things worse too." Ildor says.

------------------

Burai looks at her and lets our a growl.

"That's his equivalent of a positive response." Dahak says. "How close are we Melgeth?"

---------------

"I'm the pessimist here, you're not allowed to take my job." Saida jokes.

-------------------

"Well i could use assurances too. I am worried for Vanora." Phillipe says. "I put up a brave front but I do worry about her."

------------------

"Alright, we know Adona is on the move to fortify the capital. Meanwhile I have the King amass some of his best to go to where Vadris and Rondar are." Dagren says. "We need to divide and conquer. Rufina...how eager are you to send Ghork to play?"

"I can get him and an army of my creations ready to play as soon as possible." Rufina says.

"Good, you can have the capital. The rest can go after Ildor then." Dagren laughs.
