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

[Rystil Arden]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
Zarina's ears perk back up at Molpe's smile, "My people are indeed free-spirited and passionate like Nymphs, and I have Limnad in my blood, so I am even moreso than most."

"My father called me her true-daughter because my mother was her true-sister; she said it made her feel like a Sidhe, since usually only a Sidhe can have a daughter with her true-sister, and even then it is very difficult and involves a long ritual...but then..."

"Well, no sense dwelling on unhappy memories. In any case, I have created this all-natural bathhouse in my father's memory, and following in her footsteps. One of my ardent goals is for this to be a place where star-travelling Naiads like my father can relax and experience symbiosis...Eldiz is not enough of a natural environment for most Nymphs, but if I do my best to make a nice place for them here, maybe it will help more of them see the stars and find true-daughters....like me."

[sblock]Molpe smiles for a second or two, obviously lost in thought, before she replies, “Zarina, you greatly honor your father and I will make sure to spread the word of such a wonderful place and even more wonderful owner when I return to, or encounter, my people. Though I know of no other Feldori, Zarina, I cannot imagine you being less of a shining example to them as you are to us Limnad and if you find yourself taking a break please don’t hesitate to join me. I would be most honored in continuing our talk and blossoming our friendship.” [/sblock]

"Thank you! You flatter me, Molpe. Let me know what sort of bath suits your preference, and I'll be sure to come and join you just as soon as Virina gets back from dinner."

[sblock]“Oh! The waterfall!” Molpe spoke so enthusiastically there was little doubt but she quickly added her worry to it, “That is as long as it won’t be to cold for Wei-Han.” [/sblock]

*Zarina smiles and says.*

"Oh, you mean the private Waterfall Chambre? Becuase there is also a waterfall in the main bath. If you would like to use the Waterfall Chambre, we can adjust the temperature between refreshingly chill, lukewarm, and hot as a hot springs via rerouting the connections that come up with the underground spring water."

A/Z/Melody:
[SBLOCK]
*With the last fo her strength, Melody steels herself against assault and conjures up another glittering burst of rainbow colours, this one in the opposite direction. The violet-haired cat-girl's eyes widen like jewels at the pretty colours as she too lapses into unconsciousness. Exhaling a sigh of relief, Melody's vision blurs and gently fades to black as she joins her victim in a dreamless sleep.*

*The ruby-haired girl fires off a viscous glob of glowing-green acid at Zykovian, splashing all over his shoulder and burning his flesh away.*

*Abdiel is able to act next, attacking the beautiful girl with the green hair, the only melee combatant to remain standing after Melody's magic was through with them. He slashes at the weakened girl twice with his claws and then leans in for a bite. Despite the spell that had eaten away her strength, the verdant-haired girl is still quite nimble, and she manages to deflect one of the claw strikes with her breastplate and dodge back out of the way from the bite. Even so, Abdiel's relentless attack does not leave her unscathed, as she feels the sting of his left claw across her shoulder.*

*Suddenly finding himself with much more room, Zykovian steps backwards onto the fallen cat-girl's unconscious body, feeling her soft flesh depress against the soles of his boots. Steadying his aim and drawing on his training to make a precise shot that would certainly not hit Abdiel, he fires Azure Streak from point-blank range, right at the axe-wielding girl's exposed throat. Sensing the shot, she ducks, and the mighty shot that was meant to take her down instead shoots out over her head, as the arrow clatters to the ground further along the alley.*

*Though a 2-on-2 fight with her wounded and weakened still means a loss of the initial advantage, the green-haired girl continues her assault, striking at Abdiel again with her axe, biting into his leg and drawing more blood.*

*The copper-haired girl is still unconscious.*

*Melody lies on the ground, bleeding deeply from the claw-slash. She seems to be getting worse, so perhaps Abdiel will tend to her soon.*

*The cat-girl is also still unconscious.*

*The ruby-haired girl blows a bit of sand towards the pair, which glows faintly. Zykovian and Abdiel yawn a bit, but they are both able to stave off whatever malison the girl ahd intended for them.*

[sblock]Molpe smiles, “Yes, I believe that the one you talked about… Hmm, well which setting does my half sister prefer?” [/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
"Well, I'm a creature of extremes, so I don't much care for the lukewarm middle setting. It really depends on my mood though, I guess. When I'm feeling contemplative and I want to be alone and bask in the refreshing chill, I will use the colder setting, and when I am feeling passionate or steamy, or if I wish to feel the sultry massage of the bubbling hot-spring water, I'll go for the warmest setting."

[sblock]“Then I imagine Wei-Han will prefer the hot springs,” Molpe says happily honest and without a hint of shame. [/sblock]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
"Oh?" she raises an eyebrow, "So you still want me to come in with you two when Virina gets back?"

"I imagine it would be pretty fun to join in," she adds with a solicitous smile.
