Part 2

[Inkshade]

"Well what are we standing around for then, eh? Let's see what can be done about that last part." Dred says, trying hard to be agreeable and likeable, knowing his bandit upbringing was less than noble, and he had a feeling some of them were less than impressed with him. "Oy, one last tid bit I'm curious about, because I'm getting this vibe...I would't happen to be the youngest am I?"

---------

"You did." Loruel says

Brigada and Rodric run over and look around "It seems things have settled down." Brigada says

Rodric nods "Yes...and good the Princess is unharmed."

----------

Mora nods hesitantly, frankly not wanting to.

--------

Airou nods and takes her hand "Ammon, if anything happens to my sister it's on your head." he says.

----

Shaylin steps back "No, we shouldn't risk it. If everything works out alright, we'll have plenty of time to just stand and talk like that."

---------

Avalbane nods "Yes, but I can still apologize for her irrational behavior. We hope she get's over it soon, it's rubbing off on our baby sister..." she sighs

Heidi grumbles and is elbowed lightly by Freya.

------

Cecilia looks confused, but pushes it aside.

----

"I'm sure he'll have some explaination for it..." Osiron sighs

[Dynamax]

"The youngest living." Dagren sneers as he opens up a portal. "All will be explained at your mothers side. Now let Ghork through first." Dagren says as he conjures up a piece of parchment and then sends it flying back towards the others. "A message for your idiot uncle."

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

"Damn...and here I wanted to be a hero and brag to my future wife too." Dahak sighs. "If you weren't so fidgety." He says to Burai, who growls.

"Good, I..." Vadris sees the rolled up parchment and takes it. "Hmm...Dagren no doubt."

"I still have my guard up Loruel. It will not drop in your presence unless you prove not to be a threat to Milady's freedom and well being." Elias says.

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

Rondar notes this and looks over at Thimos. "Go ahead, tell Vortigern then change to the situation. Make him understand that I do not intend for them to stay. She needs to see her brother's situation with her own eyes and...she is in good hands."

Thimos nods and warps out.

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

"Vortigern..." Thimos appears. "We need to talk." He says as he begins explaining things.

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

"Oh stop, she'll be fine." Aikia says. "It's Ammon who needs protecting anyways." She smiles. "See you soon." They then warp out to Rondar's side.

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

"A pity, I was enjoying that." Argus stands up. "Then at least allow me this." He takes her hand and leans down, kissing the back of it.

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

"It's fine really. See it as her helping us find a hole in our dungeon defenses. Suddenly it's useful." Adona says with a laugh.

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

"Well at any rate we're not doing much good here, let's go in." Saida says.

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

"I hope so." Ildor says.

[Inkshade]

Dred nods "Alrighty then..." Great...I'm the baby...

-----

Loruel smirks "Boy, my goals represent those things. Don't forget that."

"He thinks we're the threat...how stupid." Daito mutters and glances at the metal on Claire's helmet. "Luca you idiot quit goofing around!" he snaps.

Luca had been in her helmet and steps out.

Clarie blinks "How odd."

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

Mora glances at Rondar a moment and look ahead of her.

---

Vortigern listens intently, though he was shocked at unexpected parts of the story. "Vito?...I thought he was dead....he's my ancestor after all..." he pauses "I've known about their Queen. It is why I hate Dracwall, she was happy over there with their King, and then he came along and made her be unfaithful....he confused and hurt her. It's an odd relationship her sons have with her, one Vito made a moral of the entire Di Vanesco family. We obsess over her happieness...we're overprotective. It's that way with all of the women of our family....Mora...Vinitia, and now Vanora." he sighs "And more of her sons...Loruel...I've heard his name...he's manipulative and a sort of ringmaster of whatever of his brothers he can pick up...He isn't the strongest, but he very well could be the most dangerous."

--------

Ammon smiles at where they had been standing "No...I don't protecting..." he thinks and starts walking "I wonder if she will still like him when he accepts himself?...And would they make another Rowan? No...I doubt it....Hmm I should look at his other cousins....some of them are bound to be the others..."

-------

Shaylin smiles "Alright."

----------

Avalbane laughs "Well there you go!"

-----

Caed nods and continues to lead the way.

-------

"Umm...Ildor I hate to complain but are we getting close?" Vaughn moans, he was leaning forward on his dragon "Because I'm beginging to feel a bit air sick....must have been the spell..."

[Dynamax]

"You were the third youngest." Dagren says as he walks into the portal. "Once..."

----------

"You intended to take her from us without asking what she wants and you can't be honest in saying it just what you wanted. I can't trust such insincerity." Elias says.

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

As they turn the corner Rondar and Miora run into Aikia and Airou. Before he could ask she warps them to the others.

"I...thanks Aikia." Rondar puts his weapons away. "Why is he here."

"For our meeting with the Gelgath...his cousin..." Aikia says. "and...to be with me."

"I see." Rondar smiles. "Go inform Vortigern we're back. I..." Rondar turns, first looking at Mora, then back to where the others were. "I need to talk with Mora."

"I see." Aikia looks at Mora a moment and mouths 'Sorry' as she walks off, motioning Airou to follow.

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

"Regardless things have become more difficult and we'll need your consultation on it. Who we can trust and who we can't and ways to stop them if they are our enemies. Without death. I refuse to shed the blood of your family." Thimos says. "I also think it's time...that we finally free my Father. With Gamuldar here I can find that means. He can stop Vadris...I finally realize that such a task is beyond me."

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

"Alright, let get going and wait for things to settle. It'd b best to see how things are before we do this." Argus says.

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

"Well come in, let's see if we have time to settle and have a civil discussion." Adona says.

-----------

"So, what to talk about?" Saida says, trying badly to get a conversation up.

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

"I can see them in range." Ildor says. "Though I do not see Rondar."

[Inkshade]

Dred nods "I see..." he grabs his horse's reins and directs him forward "Come on boy....well quit standing there you dumbass it's just a bloody portal." he mutters as the horse hesitates to go with him "We've charged through these before what's the deal?" he mutters and leads it through, not worrying about it leading someplace awkward for a horse, considering Ghork had gone through first, and he was more vile than the horse.

------

"Insincerity? Why you never asked. And we told you exactally what we want, and that's what's best for our mother, and now our baby sister. And if that means keeping her away from little boys who might abuse her confused and naive state, that is only natural of one of such a young age, then so be it." Loruel says.

"That's enough. Loruel, I'll tell you one, more, time. Back. Off." Vito says "Vanora may be young but she's smart and can take care of herself better than anyone. Even mother." he says

"We seem to differ in ideals little brother." Loruel says.

"That we do." Vito glares.

Vanora looks and sees the dragons in the distance "...Is that?...that's them...Rhisiart...I can tell he's with them! Elias!" she smiles and hugs him tightly "It's really him!" she smiles.

Luca smiles lightly "happy..."

Even Daito smirks when he sees Vanora's eyes light up It's all silly really. The happieness is going to be short lived when conflict returns. he thinks.

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

Airou follows along with Aikia. he thinks a moment "So...I couldn't help but notice you didn't protest to what Ammon said...does this make it official?"


Mora nods to Aikia, then slowly looks to Rondar. "Y-yes Rondar?"

-----

Vortigern nods "I've been wondering when you'd realize you need your father for that one." he says bluntly "As for who we can trust...it's hard to say, I don't know all of my...call them uncles I supose. I know Loruel, as he is infamous in some places...You said the other two were Daito and Luca?" he thinks "Daito...if he is the one I think he is he must have just come back here recently...he was living with his father last I knew...A monsterous person to say the least in that he is unforgiving of any weakness. They say he murdered his wife for producing a weak child and sold the child....that is if he is the one I'm thinking of." he paces a bit "As for Luca, I don't know that one, but there are many I don't know of."

---------

Shaylin nods "Yes, let's."

-----

Alvabane smiles and follows.

Freya looks around a bit, then sighs saddly.

Heidi smirks, well aware of who she was looking for.

---------

"Are you two married?" Cecilia asks Saida and Titania.

"What? No. no we are just friends." Titania laughs.

"It doesn't sound like it." Cecilia says

-----------

"Maybe that's a good thing." Osiron says

Rhis looks at the people, searching for Vanora. He spots her and smiles "I see her..." he mutters.

"Oh thank heavens..." Vaughn sighs.

[Dynamax]

"Interesting. He's turned out rather different." Rufina muses.

"You two get in. Ildor isss here." Vossh says.

Rufina and Sabrel enter, followed by Jolden and Vossh, th portal closes afterwards. All trace of them gone.

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

"I do not know what you mean and i do not care. Vanora is my cousin too and unlike you I actually know her. All she wants her is up there, and all your mother wants is for those two to come home. If you give a damn about them then respect that and stop being so selfish." Phillipe says.

Elias remains silent, letting Phillipe handle this while he watches Ildor descend. He looks down at Vanora for a moment and smiles. "Like I told you."

His dragon lands and he dismounts quickly. "Vadris, what the HELL is going on?"

The two spectral forms manifest as a demonic human and a suit of armor take point on other side of Ildor.

"No sign of Rondar, you are right Son." Gustav says.

"Though I see his son burning a hole through us with such a gaze." Karl remarks.

Ildor gazes over and meets Elias' gaze. "He had his Father's fac I see."

Vadris signals the Hell's Force to him and begins to walk over to Ildor."

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

"I suppose it does." Aikia giggles.

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

"So...now that someone else voiced it, why are you seeming so uncomfortable about it?" Rondar asks her.

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

"Allow me some pride Vortigern. I am a grown man, i do not wish to run to him without just cause. I wished to free him without the burden of war." Thimos' hand crackles with power for a moment. "But Vadris has surpassed me in power at long last. i learned that much today."

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

"Is there a problem Freya?" Gloriana asks.

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

"Heh, she could do a lot better than me." Saida says.

[Inkshade]

Dred looks around the other side of the portal "Was that so bad?" he asks his horse, which seemed confused.

---------

"Oh yeah blondie? Well we're her brothers. What power do you hold to protect her hmm? Human?" Daito glares at Phillipe.

Loruel shoots him a glare, which transforms into a smile "Settle brother, he is our step-cousin."

Rhis lands their dragon and looks back at Rowena "Excuse me darling, could you watch Iggy a moment?" he asks and hands him to her, then dismounts. he starts to walk towards Vanora.

Vanora smiles happily and runs over to him "Rhis!" she hugs him as they meet. "I knew you were alive! I just knew it!"

Rhis holds her and chuckles a little "Vanny..." he picks her up and spins a little happily "God I've missed you..."

"I missed you too! We all have!" she says, and can't help but cry into his shirt a bit. "Mother and Father were so sad...there was a war and everything. Rodric took charge and won it and now he's a knight, and...oh so much has happened!"

"Well, we're together again...that's what matters right?" he says

"Why couldn't we talk?" she asks

"My father...er...oh geez..."

"Don't worry, I already know." Vanora smiles. she glances at Osiron who was close behind Ildor "Is that him?"

"Yeah, he had a spell on me that blocked magic...it's gone now." Rhis says and squeezes her tighter.

Osiron watches them with a light smile.

Vaughn gets off his dragon and leans on it "Oh good..." he sighs.

Vito smiles when he sees Rhis, but says nothing to no interupt the reunion.

---------

Airou smiles and puts an arm around her "Good. Now I can do that and not worry about you being creeped out."

--------

Mora blushes and looks away from him "Rondar I...can't...even if you said that wasn't true and that I could I....I don't deserve it. Not after...I don't deserve you, not after what I thought....even if it were only a second...she was my friend too...and for such things I don't deserve you. I shouldn't be rewarded for such awful thoughts."

--------

"Vadris is strong. It isn't bad to ask for help. It doesn't make you less of a man." Vortigern says

--------

"No..." Freya pouts a bit.

"She was hoping to see Honzai." Heidi teases.

"That's obsurd you're an excelent man." Titania scolds him

Caed starts getting tense.

[Dynamax]

Dagren slumped over soon after arriving and puts his hand over his right eye. "Ngghh...Sira....the eye..."

"Still having trouble? I told you to practice more to build up an endurance." Sira says. "That's all I can do for you is suggest that."

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

"I'll list them off for you later." Phillipe turns around to be greeted with a most frightening grimace.

"Hello idiot." Iago says.

"OH GOD NO!!!" Phillipe yells.

Mr. Bluestone had warped them all back, though for some reason there was no ill effects felt.

"Gregor." Hector says, glaring at him.

"Any violence and you'll pay, that goes for anyone here." Ildor says. "Consider it an act of treason to your King. i am in no mood for this."

"My King, i sensed the five passing by and joined them, bringing along Rhisart's sister for political negotiation. for th sake of all involved I was forced to let Rondar flee in spite of...Goshin's demise." Vadris says.

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT?" Ildor roared. "GOSHIN...DEAD? BY WHOSE HANDS?"

Vadris shuts his eyes. "Dagren Sir. He made an example of them." He looks at Kaizo as if to back him up.

"Y...yes sir. It was a slap in the face to us, one we hop to avenge once we replace him." Kaizo bows.

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

"I wasn't creeped out, I was just being defensive." Aikia says. "After what was done I had issues."

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

"You're a fool." Rondar sighs. "Listen to yourself, you flt it for a second and you punish yourself over something you regret. She'd be calling you a dummy if she was here." He shuts his eyes. "And here I was afraid you thought ill of me for all my failings or something." He lets out a chuckle before opening his eyes and walking over to her, putting his arms around her. "Let down your walls and let me in. Or do you wish to keep away someone who loves you?"

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

"I know. I just had to try is all." Thimos says. "But any attempt I could make as I am would result in regrettable sacrifices and I am not prepared to do that."

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

"He's off fighting Rondar last i saw. He will return soon with Ildor I wager." Gloriana says. "My sister too."

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

"I'm not sure he thinks so." Saida says. "People don't stiffen up like that for good reasons." He says noticing Caed.

[Inkshade]

Dred looks at him "Eye?...Or lack there of?"

----------

Rhis looks up, deciding to see how many people from his side where there "Dear God, how many of you came over?"

"Well..." Vanora says and wipes upder her eyes "There was Sir Gregor...and Airou and Lakiry's brother who came shortly after you disappeared...then with me was Anastasia, Phillipe, Airou, Lakyri, Cornelius, Travis and Elias. Then it looks like after that Sir Rodric, Claire, Octavia, Jagi, Brigada, Iago, Victoria, Cassius, Mr.Bluestone and Vito came."

"Damn...All that for me?" Rhis asks

"Well duh you're a Prince!" Vanora chuckles.

Rhis laughs "heh, yeah...I've forgotten at times..." he pauses "I hear you've been through a lot since getting here."

"Yeah...there were a few misunderstandings with Vadris but we're friends now." she sighs

"That's good. Hey, there's someone I want you to meet, come on." he grins and takes her hand. he leads her over to Rowena. "Vanora, this is Rowena. She's a Princess here and my lover. Rowena, this is my sister Vanora." he smiles, exstatic that there was no fighting.

---------

Airou smiles "I understand. I just wanted to be sure." he rubs her shoulder "You don't have to worry...about anything. I memorized the girl that creature turned into...I'll find your daughter and return her to you."

--------

Mora's eyes water "Rondar...I...want to but..." she starts to cry "I can't...I was happy...when she died I could have you and I was happy. Even if it were only for a moment, the second I thought that I lost any right to be with you....I betrayed her by thinking that. What sort of person am I? To have a friend die, and then take her husband? Such a person is not worthy of you...or being with any person they love...." she weeps and collapses to her knees.

--------

"Exactaly" Vortigern says "Don't worry. Your father won't think less of you for it. Vadris is fueled by a crazed desire. You are stronger than him in the mind."

---------

Freya smiles "That's good! I haven't seen Rownea in so long..."

---------

Titania looks at him "Caed?"

"What, I may be younger but it's my duty as your brother to be a bit touchy about you and guys. Especially this soon after getting you back when you could have been...." Caed stops.

"Oh....Caed..." Titania hugs him from behind.

[Dynamax]

"Both actually." Dagren pulls back his cloth covering his face to revealed a scarred up area with an organic red orb where his eyes should be. "A demon's eye to replace the one Ildor took. one given to be my Sira when we became allies. It's power is what i sued during the mist...the red light you saw."

"Don't go telling Rondar now." Sabrel says.

"Sabrel, do not talk to him like that." Dagren snaps.

-----------

"Hello." Rowena giggles. "You're far prettier than he told me." She bows. "It's an honor to met you."

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

Aikia shuts her eyes to fight back her tears. "Thank you..."

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

"No, it is I who am not worthy of you, for not seeing this. To be so blind to your pain." Rondar drops down to his knees and puts his arms around her. "Stop this...please. Mora, this kills me more than any wound I've ever felt to see you like this."

-----------

"The trick is talking Gamuldar into it." Thimos says.

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

"She'll be happy to see you. it seems there might be much to talk on." Gloriana says.

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

"Wasn't going to happen. I had her." Saida pulls down his bracelet, revealing lock picks. "One way or another I'd have gotten her out."

[Inkshade]

"He's just being careful. I'd have said the same thing if I were in his position." Dred says "I understand it, right now I'm just some dirty bandit working under Rondar, who happens to share the same parents as him. I haven't yet earned being his brother who just happens to be a dirty bandit. If anything my arrows have taken me a step in the wrong direction." his eyes glimer with the look he got when he was analysing people. he looks to Rufina "More interested in my peculiar way of presenting myself, understandable. Most are." he looks to Vossh "Couldn't give a damn either way..." then to Jolden "Pleased because I could be worse...." then to Sira "too much of a headace to even attempt to interpret." and lastly Ghork "And wants to eat my horse. And the answer is no sir." he nods.

--------

Vanora smiles "And I you." she bows back "And thank you, I haven't heard much about you, but I'm happy to see my brother seems to be in good hands." she chuckles "Hasn't been causing you any trouble has he?"

Rhis smiles and glances at Osiron. he smiles at him happily.

Osiron smiles back and turns his attention back to Vadris "So Dagren killed Goshin...very troubling...Did he seem to be stronger? I can't imagine him waiting all this time without preparing."

-----------

"Of course." Airou stops and wings his other arm aroun so his hand s were on her shoulders "I'm going to make sure that these," he wipes away a tear "only happen because you are happy."

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

Mora let's out a short cry that almost made it seem like something about his words had hurt her. "But I'm a horrible horrible person....I'm not deserving of this....you shouldn't be trying to comfort me....you should hate me....I've done a terrible thing....how can there ever be good in the world if those who are wicked are rewarded for evil thoughts...it only promotes such things...I need punishment, not your compassion!" she sobs, still not looking at him, too ashamed to. "You deserve a good woman, one without an impure thought in them. Like your late wife...not some whore like me."

-----------

"Well, I get the idea Elias and his Princess will be able to be quite persuasive. And if not them...we call on our secret weapon with him...Vinitia." Vortigern says.

---------

"Oh yes there most definately will be! Such commotion lately..." Freya says, oblivious to what Gloriana meant.

----------

Caed looks "It doesn't change the fear. I'm going to need a bit of time to get less protective."

[Dynamax]

"You are wrong Brother. It is only a cautionary request. Our Father has suffered much to get tot his point and to lose the advantage of surprise would mak all his work for naught." Sabrel drops down on one knee. "I am pleased you are here but I will not insult you by acting as if you suddenly are one of us."

"So...is that him?" Argus walks in, Shaylin close behind.

"It..it is Boy. Thank you." Dagren turns away and covers up the eye before Argus and Shaylin could see it.

"Still hiding whatever you did to yourself now huh?" Argus sighs.

"The less who know the better boy." Dagren looks at Dred. "Now do you see? I showed you over my longtime allies."

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

"Nothing i couldn't handle." Rowena says. "He's a good man, as I trust he always has been."

"He had some power that nearly took down Rondar and his son like nothing." Vadris says.

"So he's found something to try and surpass me with huh?" Ildor sighs. "Now to address some family affairs. "Son of Rondar, com forward."

Before Elias could step one step, Gregor got in the way. "King Ildor, I know not if you remember me, I am Gregor Grey, Gilbert's younger brother and I..." A sound of an unsheathing sword catches his eyes.

"Claim no blood tie to us." Hector steps forward only for Elias to block Gregor.

"Back off or I will take you down. No one draws a blade on my Father in MY presence." Elias says.

"HECTOR!!" Ildor snaps. "Do I need to lock you up overnight in my dungeon for you to cool down?"

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

"Thank you so much Airou. You're a wonderful man." Aikia says, smiling as she turns to face him. "And quite charming too. You have me now...what are you going to do?"

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

"I would sooner let Ildor run me through with his own sword than hate you." Rondar says. "I have done some hard things in my life Mora, did some misdeeds in order to survive. I'm no saint, but I now fight to redeem myself and make the world better for it. But I need you to be with me or...it's all for nothing. You're none of those things you've said, not one bit. I..."

He turns her had to look at him gently. "I would have no other woman by my side right now but you. You're a wonderful woman, a good friend and someone I've loved all my life. I was just too much of a coward to tell you before now. Let me show you what you really deserve Mora." Rondar then leans in and kisses her.

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

"Good, it is up to us to keep this on course. After all I am that boy's Godparent." Thimos says. "They are family."

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

"Well i think she'll surprise you." Gloriana says.

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

"Understandable, I just ask you give me some leeway. I saw my entire village burn and my family violated and killed. I'm still getting over the trauma." Saida says.

[Inkshade]

"Hmm...Not going to lie, sort of a stupid move, I sure as hell wouldn't trust me. But it's flattering." Dred says then looks at Argus and Shaylin. "And who might you be?"

Shaylin was caught a bit off guard by how different he was from what she imagined.

-------

Vanora smiles "Naturally." she says before noticing the conflict going on "Oh dear...it seems Sir Gregor is having trouble with his brother..."

"Don't worry, my father and the King want to avoid fighting, they won't let anythign happen." Rhis assures her. he smirks "So, what was this you had to tell me once I was on the ground?"

Vanora looks back at him "Oh right. Well...maybe Vito should explain it...he knows more. I'm still a bit confused on it all." she turns and looks at Vito "Vito, could you come here?" she calls.

Vito nods and jogs over. he gives Rhis a hug and pats him on the back "Good to see you kid."

Rhis grins at him as he let's go "Rowena, this is my unc-"

"Ah ah ah!" Vito cuts him off "Let me tell the story, I presume it's what you need me for?" he smiles, and bows to Rowena "Princess, it is a pleasure to see you in person. What Rhis was going to say is that I'm his uncle. However he is misinformed. I am in fact his brother."

Rhis's eyes widen "What?"

Vito sighs and looks at him with a smile "Your mother isn't a human, and I'm not her brother, that was a atory we were forced to come up with so she could live a life on the other side. You mother is really a demon from this side, and ancient one in fact she and two others were the ones who built the wall."

"What?!" Rhis was shocked.

"Yes. And I'm not your only brother. See, mother has lived so long, and she loves to love. She has had many lovers over the years, your father, Vanora's father and my own only being three. She has, naturally had many children too. See those three demons over there?" he points to Loruel and Daito "Eh? Where'd Luca go?" he turns and finds Luca two inches from his face "GAH! Luca!" he jumps, and sighs "Anyways...they are also your brothers. This is Luca, he's the closest to your age. The other two are Loruel and Daito...they all have different fathers as well..."

"Hello brother." Luca says, getting really close to Rhis.

"Luca, give him some space, he seems to be in shock." Vito says "Rhis? I know it's a lot, how are you taking it kid-o?"

"WHAT?!" Rhis asks

Osiron looks at Rhis and frowns "Ildor...I'm going to see what's wrong..." he says and gets off his dragon.

Daito and Loruel look at each other and smirk.

-----------

Airou smiles "Well, for a start," he says and leans in and kisses her.

------

Mora cries through the kiss, but doesn't resist it. when it is done, she embraces him and cries into his shoulder. His words hadn't changed what she thought about herself, but she had decided that they didn't both need to suffer. She would accept his love so he could go on and be happy, but she would still never forgive herself for it. "Rondar....I love you." she says and holds him tighter.

---------

"Exactally." Vortigern says "We should meet with Rondar and figure out how we will spend the next three days. We have to meet with the Gelgath, and I would suggest meeting with Vinitia as well. So long as the wall stands, the other side would be a great advantage to have as an ally. There is only one way to cross it, and it is small. Also, Vinitia's magic keeps it from growing larger. We could very easily make sure Vadris get's nowhere near his father, and could take him down swiftly." he says

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

Freya nods "She always is able to..."

------

"And I'm still getting over mine. I think we can be flexible for each other." Caed says

"That's right." Titania says.

[Dynamax]

"Then it is at last a fine enough test. That man is your second cousin Argus, Jolden's son. The woman is Osiron's thought to be dead sister, Shaylin, another secret. She's the one that found you." Dagren says. "Your mother is on an outing and will return soon. We should at least give you a tour."

-----------

"Though it seems some of them wish to defy your Mother's mandate for their own needs. Needs I can respect but...they need to know they are acting against her." Elias says, putting his weapon away.

"I will come." Ildor says. "If there is no need for battle I will put an end to it." He looks at Gregor. "Rise...son of the House of Grey."

Hector winced at the statement.

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

Aikia giggles as she kisses him back.

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

"It's ok now." Rondar shuts his eyes. "I love you too Mora." He cradles her head and lets her cry it out.

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

"You should do that since you are family. Leave the Gelgath to me, I am a long time ally of theirs since the old days." Thimos says. "Kurak's ancestor stood with my Father all those years ago."

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

Gloriana giggles.

Adona however stops as Janindra jumps in through a window. "My Queen, the perimeter is secure, no more threats exist."

"Good. Let's hope it stays that way." Adona says.

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

"Sounds good to me." Saida says.

[Inkshade]

Dred nods "Sounds good." he looks at his horse "Might I sugest starting someplace I could keep this fellow? He doesn't do well indoors and has a habit of eating curtains."

-------

Osiron walks over to them "Rhis, what is it?" he asks. he suddenly stops and hesitates a bit when he sees how much Vanora looked like her mother. he continues and looks at Rhis.

"Did you know my mother is a demon?" he asks

"WHAT?!"

"That's a big no." Vito says.

Airou smiles "Not a bad start eh?"

Mora cries for a while longer, before slowly settling down. she looks up at him, uncertain what to say, and embarassed for becoming so weak in front of him.

"Yes, that is wise." Vortigern nods "We'll talk to Rodar about it."

----------

"My creatures will alert me should they see anything." Paitus says

Caed nods "There's a lounge area up here, I think it will be a good place to wait for Lord Dahak and Gaz to get back."
