[QUOTE="Uvenelei, post: 178401, member: 2533"] OOC: I didn't mean to sound hurt or dejected, and I'm neither. The :eek: was referring to all the destruction, not just my small corner. Also, is the Red Army of Luna at 100% or 50%? IC: Aurican, Zagyg, and Prime Minister Loew sat in the Prime Minster’s office. The confusion was immense; Loew sat at his desk sorting through the innumerable reports that had already arrived, making room for the new reports that came in by the minute. The three rulers of what were once Istarland, Lyrn, and Aaqa sat off to the side. Two of the three rulers had been resurrected after the nuclear assault; however, the Lyrnian emperor, Digeld IV, was not present, having been drawn into Ravenloft. His son, Digeld V, tried his best to maintain himself, but he was having a hard time of it. Aurican and Zagyg sat by the large window that overlooked one of the Republic’s spaceports, where the Selunian navy was currently departing for Toril, laden with supplies and peacekeeping forces. Loew looked up from a new paper he received. “We’re still working on the Ravenloft problem, but we’re getting nowhere. Is it even possible to free those good men and women trapped there?” he asked, looking hopefully at the two by the window. “All signs point to yes,” Zagyg chimed in confidently. Digeld’s face lit up as he heard Zagyg’s confirmation of his only hope. “Please, Lord Zagyg, stop using that ‘magic’ 8-ball,” Aurican said. He turned away from the window and stared down at his hands. “ I feel so helpless. I can’t even save my people, let alone bring back those that can be saved. I feel I should go to Ravenloft myself, but I know it would be for naught.” Loew walked over to the human-sized dragon. “You should be proud to feel as such, to be willing to sacrifice yourself for the sake of others. But you should be more proud that your altruism is tempered by wisdom and common sense.” Aurican looked up at the Prime Minister. “Thank you for everything, Loew. None of us would be here if it weren’t for the Republic or your help.” Loew smiled silently, and the two of them turned their attention to a viewscreen on the far wall. It displayed images of the mages of Selune performing a powerful ritual. The beginning of the resurrection of the Crescent, a process that would take quite some time, if it could even be truly completed at all. After a few minutes of watching the preparations (or, in Zagyg’s case, of determining the fate of the universe with a black, magic sphere), Loew’s secretary walked in carrying an urgent message. She spoke up, “Sirs, I have a message here from the Alliance of Dread-“ “Destroy it,” Loew and Aurican said in unison. The secretary nodded, backed out of the room, which lapsed back into silence. Time passed slowly amidst the chaos. After some time, Zagyg stood up, walked to the center of the room, and cleared his throat. “Gentlemen, after careful and powerful analysis, I have determined that we cannot possibly lose. Now, on to victory!” Zagyg shouted, holding aloft the 8-ball. Aurican looked over. “Maybe that ball is worth something after all…” “Damn right,” Zagyg replied with a smug look. Some time later, Aurican sat alone in his large office. He sat, starting out of his window, into the black depths of space. “I am powerless in this matter, but my faults are not universal…” He focused inward, searching for something, or someone, who could help… (OOC: I too begin summoning the Militant Fair).
