Destiny's Tears-Prologue: A Jewel in the Shadow Part I

[Brother Shatterstone]

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

[SBLOCK]* Not wanting to interrupt but hearing a way to familiar name Molpe dark blue eyes dart towards Wei-Han as his name as if to ask if it he knew the poor women before them. *

Molpe squeezes her hand lightly in support, “please? If you don’t mind could you continue your story, my dear? Was there no word of them ever again?”[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
*Wei-Han is about to respond, but he stops when Molpe tells Aldonza to continue.*

"No. It was as if they vanished completely. I am sure my Mireau is dead, however, or he would have found me by now."

"Anyway, all that money we brought turned out to only be enough to stay for a few months in a moderately decent home in Eldiz, and I knew that I was a good dancer, so I auditioned in the Festive District and got a job as an exotic dancer that was able to sustain me in, if not as opulent of a life as I enjoyed as the daughter of a Count, then at least in comfort, waiting for my love to return. But that all ended three years ago, when...when I...when I was raped by a monstrous Tralg..."

*She trails off at the painful memory.*

Abdiel Lyanthra, Mojiin Preserver

Rystil: [SBLOCK]Abdiel will cast Detect Magic to see if Selar is under any magical influence. He will then re-enter the inn.[/SBLOCK]
All except Molpe: [SBLOCK]Abdiel reenters with a worried look on his face. As he approaches the table, he asks (in Seelie) [SBLOCK]"Are either of you knowledgeable about nature? If you are, I was wondering if you would come outside with me for a moment to try to solve a small mystery with me. You are, of course, free to come out anyways, but I was hoping one of you would be able to help me out. I would really appreciate it."[/SBLOCK]
Abdiel steps back from the table slightly to allow anyone who wants to stand up the opportunity to do so.

Abdiel:
[SBLOCK]
*Detect Magic detects nothing more than a sympathetic vibration in the bond that the two of you share.*

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

[SBLOCK]* Molpe had a good idea of what had happened next, her leg was lamed in the rape as she fight of her attacker and her only source of income dried up as she struggled to find a means to survive. Pulling the broke women closer still Molpe made no effort to ask what happened next, instead she tried to help Aldonza out as best she could. *

“Aldonza? You needn’t say anything else… You have someone here now, someone who will listen and protect you while you grieve… You needn’t hold the tears back anymore. Please/ Please cry and allow the tears to wash away the fester of this wound.”[/SBLOCK]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
*Aldonza cries softly on Molpe's shoulder, although the sobs come out more like coughs, the sorrow can be clearly felt.*

"It...its probably not what you'd think though. Though the brute was drunk and forced himself on me, he was surprisingly gentle...considering...I expected to be crushed completely, but all that happened is that I dislocated my hip...an injury that would easily heal in a few days of rest..."

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

[sblock]“Shhhh, you needn’t speak,” Molpe said softly in a soothing tone that suggest that while Aldonza didn’t need to that Molpe would be around to listen.[/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
*Aldonza quiets at Molpe's comforting words, but then she says wonderingly:*

"Aren't you curious though...About Esperanza? I mean...I was raped by a hideous giant beast and then...I know I didn't expect her."
[/SBLOCK]

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

[SBLOCK]With an understanding smile Molpe leans down and kisses her lightly on the forehead, “I am, but not if its going to cause you pain. You’ve had more than your fair share and I don’t want you to have to relive that pain if you don’t want to.”[/SBLOCK]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
"Sharing a heavy burden with one who will listen with a kind heart and never judge me only decreases the weight on my shoulders child," Aldonza replies.

"Oh, I'm sorry, did I call you child?" she laughs, "I know you're folk don't age as quickly as we Rowaini, so I'm probably not that much older than you are."

"In any case, it is something that I would tell a friar back home...but there are none here to comfort me..."
