[QUOTE="Deuce Traveler, post: 3888617, member: 34958"] When Dartis mentions the Fey, Goreallis' eyes become green while his body turns into what looks to be jade facets. [color=sienna]"So it was the Fey Queen and her people which had me set free. It is not well to owe a debt to creatures such as the Fey, and it is only slightly worse than them owing you a boon. And still, you freed me as well as they, and so I owe you so much... and I feel my strength returning. I can probably handle this Land's Death, or at least trap it."[/color] He gets up, and for a moment his legs look wobbly and his body looks like it was about to collapse into sand once more but the Geomancer steadies himself as his skin reddens. [color=sienna]"And before I go visit the Fey, and as I feel my power return, I sense that there are other debts that must be repaid. I almost forgot what kind of power it would take to bind me, afterall."[/color] So saying his eyes become a crimson color and his skin takes on the appearance of a faceted ruby. He bends down and grasps the middle of the white chain and you can see electricity spark against the Geomancer's skin. He seems to concentrate for a moment before a return arc of electricity travels back up the chain and into the statue that still holds it, causing the statue to crumble to dust. As Goreallis' skin flickers to blue and then back to red the chain in his hand flickers and the white aura fades. He places it on the ground almost reverantly and moves to the next statue, speaking to himself as if quoting. [color=sienna]"And then came the Third Betrayal, for the grandchildren gave up the last gifts of the forebears and became more like the Avariel, foresaking their heritage.
