Battle at Harkon Manor

Myth and Legend

First Post
Seeing as how the group was either very safe or utterly unable to help itself from an assault in the manor, Lora decided to break formation and catch up to Aidan. The dark skinned boy had been very quiet as of late, although still as loyal as when she had first meat him. The girl flicked off her ponytail that had entangled itself with the glaive mounted on her shoulder and looked at Aidan with her blue eyes.

"What's wrong with you?"
She asked flatly. "Damn it that didn't sound right at all!" Lora chastised herself.

"I mean... how are you?" the girl asked after a moment of reconsideration.

Aidan looked at Lora in brief surprise, not realizing he was directly being addressed immediately.

"Oh, uh, I'm alright... I guess... it's just all so fancy... and erm... I don't like all this noble-ing stuff. It's so complicated... I never know if I should say somethin' 'r not, since it may hit tha wrong ears, yanno?"

Claude sees that Lora is taking this opprotunity to speak with Aiden, he will not say anything on that matter he finds it an endless source of amusment. Claude looks over at Oneisimus "Mon ami, when I spoke of anger you agreed with me and spoke with experience of it. May I ask what brought you to the same conclusion about the nature of anger that I did?" He askes absent mindedly as they walk through the courtyard.

Onesimus looks back at the aged warrior and smiles. He says with a warm tone. "Well, to make a long story short in my youth I decided to take a dispute to the what we call the fighting circle. Kind of a sanctioned fight to settle disputes. Once the fight was over that was that and you moved on. This one particular instance this coward was slandering my fathers name. I took a great offense to this and in my anger I decided to settle the dispute in the circle and well he shows the small scar on his left forearm to Claude the other combatant didn't play by the rules. My father catches wind of all this and to my surprise was upset with me. He said he mocks his fathers deep voice 'let that scar be a reminder that anger only leads to more pain.' He went on to explained how somethings are not worth getting angry over, especially when its the town drunks opinion of someone else. Pride and anger can lead to lots of unnecessary pain. I will fight for what I believe in and to protect those who can't protect themselves. But to take a life over pride or anger..... is just selfish."

"Ah, very interesting, Your father is a wise man. Yes, the best advice often times comes from a father. I can remeber the words that I live by that my father told to me before I became the son of a lord." Claude pauses to try to find the words because translating this sort of a statement without it losing it's intesity is difficult "My father said 'Claude you must be one of the good people son, because there are too many of the bad ones'. It is interesting how something so simple can be so beautiful or poetic. I wonder what Jareth's father would say to him?" He says absent mindedly as he remebers the past.

"Yes, beautifully simplistic. Your father too was a very wise man." He pauses for a second. "That's a question he needs to ponder himself." He says in a lower tone as he stares at the ground in front of them as they continue walking deeper into the manor.

Jareth walks into the manor grounds with the others, his anger only slightly diminished. He avoids looking at Tira, except for occasional glares. The young man overhears the little story Onesimus tells and snorts. If that's your experience with anger, you know nothing, Jareth thinks to himself.

Watching the others (ecspeically Lora and Aidan) chat, Vance leads you up a short set of stone steps to a door in the side of the main building.

To Onesimus he says, "I believed that the creature was hungry and Skazul says it is a very stupid. So it dared attack a holden as it crossed the bridge. Luckly some Purple Rose Knights were nearby." Speaking as he leads you into the foyer, and then to the great room he adds with a smile. "I took one of it's heads and was looking to take the rest when I met all of you." he says unmodestly.

"Now I shall get my brother," he says heaving a heavy sigh. "My Lord Grignard... Please um, Please make the introductions." he says noticably changing what he was about to say.

Leaving for only a moment, the crackling of the large fireplace makes the only sound in the room as you wait. Returning from the way he left Vance enters with a noble woman on his arm.

"Sister these are are guest," he says in a sweet honeyed voice. "Messengers from Lord Bairan." He finishes escorting her to a chair near the window. "My sister Rizella Valorn," he says by way of introduction losing the sweetness in his voice. "And my brother and baron of the land bestowed to my family, Vir." he says simply as an older man walks in helped by a nursemaid and cane.

His bearskin robe looks to big for his small frame almost as if it was dragging him down. He takes a seat in a hard wooden chair and waves the nursemaid away. Following the baron is a large man, armed and armored and with an air about him that he knows how to handle himself. He stands behind the baron his bald head and dark gotee giving him an almost evil look.

"Baron Valorn," Vance says "These are the messengers I told you had come." making a nod to Claude, he stays standing near his sisters chair.

At Vance's short explanation of the attack and his rather boastful claim of decapitating one head of the beast Onesimus simple gives a slight smile and nod and continues on silently. At the mention of the "messengers" during the introduction Onesimus stands near the back and simple bows and says nothing unless spoken to.

We are honoured to be guest to the house of Valorn and we hope that our presence will not cause any difficulty for you or your people. I thank you again afor your hosptality."
