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

[Brother Shatterstone]

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

[sblock] “Of course, Zarina,” Molpe replies with a dismisses smile at Feldori 's concern, though she thought it was pretty unusual that Zarina and Wei-Han seemed to share the same concerns for privacy, “I couldn’t imagine you not being there… So please take a break and join us when Virina returns, okay?” [/sblock]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
"Sure, sounds like fun! And don't think that I was hesitant to join you, sister, but I have discovered that some cultures do not share our blithe feelings on such matetrs, so I just wanted to make sure."

*She claps her hands, causing the attendant but linguistically-isolated Wei-Han to snap to attention, though the gesture wasn't meant for him. A pretty and full-curved girl with silky chestnut-brown hair and a sleek figure prominently displayed by her lovely silken two-piece swimsuit walks down the hallway to the front room, giving a quick hug to Zarina as the azure-haired proprietress says kindly, still in Seelie:*

"Celimene, I'd like you to meet my half-sister Molpe and her companion Wei-Han."

*The girl bows forward deeply, which makes her seem more likely than usual that the skimpy piece of silk will fail to prevent her top from popping out. Though it does come close, she manages to remain inside her top as she straightens again and says in Seelie, with an exotic accent:*

"Greetings noble Molpe. I am called Celimene, and I am most honoured to meet you."

Zarina smiles warmly at her employee, "Thank you Celimene. Now I'd like you to take them to the Waterfall Chambre and set the water to hot. And give them the full set of herbal scented soaps, body lotions, and a Rhapsodian Sonic Converter, all gratuit," the last word is from some other language.

"If you'll follow me?" Celimene says with a brilliant smile towards Molpe--which can't help but remind the Limnad of her mental image of what Aldonza might have once looked like before her life destroyed her beauty--and a beckoning gesture to Wei-Han.

Abdiel Lyanthra, Mojiin Preserver

Zykovian & Melody:[SBLOCK]Abdiel leans down, and while attempting to avoid the axe-wielding woman, he casts a healing spell on Melody. Once she is stable, he will turn and face his opponent again, preparing a full round of attacks on her.

OOC: Abdiel casts defensively, casting Cure Light Wounds on Melody. He will then protect Melody, facing attacking the nearest opponent with a full attack action.

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

[SBLOCK]* The innocent in the Laborers War mostly forgotten in her excitement, to mention Wei-Han had said on many occasions for Molpe to do what made her happy, Molpe doesn’t even give Zarina’s words a second thought and quickly beams a smile to all as she mimics Celimene’s formal bow. *

After giving We-Han a small smile she quickly takes his hand and speaks softly to him in Eldish, “Come, Hun, we need to fallow Celimene now,” before turning back to her native language, “Celimene, you’re a very pretty young lady… You remind me of one of my near and dear friends.” [/SBLOCK]

A/Z/Melody:
[SBLOCK]
*Abdiel crosses his arms before him in a defensive stance as he draws upon his connection to the land to bring forth the power to heal Melody from within himself. The gaping holes in her side begin to shrink and vanish as he gently strokes her flesh with the same bloody claws that had just been used to slash into the green-haired girl.*

*Suddenly, Zykovian hears some scuffing sounds coming from along the roof behind him, and then a melodic but angry voice calls out from the top of a building, as a pretty girl, a Valsian like the ruby-haired one, but this one with hair the colour of amethysts, making her look even more like Erila to Abdiel, steps to the edge of the rooftop:*

"Murderous traitor! You are lucky I need you alive...You disgust me! And you, Zykovian T'Erilan, I have heard of you...It is only fitting then that you fall at my hand today, in payment for your sins."

*And with that, her blue eyes flash green as a ray of angry green energy shoots forth at Zykovian, striking him across the side of his neck and face and melting away the nearby flesh with a sickening and agonising burning sensation.*

[OOC:
Abdiel's Concentration 12 + 4 = 16. Success
Melody gains 8 HP but remains unconscious for now. I've made a House-Ruling that I forgot to mention that prevents healed characters from popping back up immediately into the middle of combat.
Violet Ranged Touch Attack 16 + 4 = 20
Zykovian takes another 10 Damage, Ouch!
It's Zykovian's turn now, so let me know what he will do.]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
"Yes, it is as I thought flom the context," Wei-Han replies quietly, "Your ranguage is rearry quite beautifur--it sounds so innocent and blithe, just rike you; I think I could just sit and risten to it arr day."

"Really?" Celimene asks, smiling widely and blushing at the compliment as she leads the pair along the hallway, "Thanks for the compliment. Mistress Zarina has been ever so kind to me, especially in my times of need, so if you are her half-sister, then I would be honoured to have you as a friend, an Ami."

*With that pronouncement she leans forward, the soft scent of roses--oh so different than the noxious odors in the Labourer's Ward--wafting up to tickle Molpe's nose as the brown-haired girl gives Molpe a quick kiss on the right cheek and then another on the left cheek, her sleek curves brushing up against Molpe's own as she does, and then she leans back, smiling.*

"That is how we greet new friends in my land," Celimene says in explanation, reaching the end of the hallway and leading the two into a large room, filled with what seems to be a large indoor lake, complete with a beautiful cascading waterfall and plenty of smiling, chatting, laughing people, both men and women, but all wearing two-piece (for women) and one-piece (for men) bathing suits that are a bit too much clothing for Molpe's taste when it comes to soaking in water. All around the room, there are many doors, which seem to lead into private baths.*

"Come, Ami, the Waterfall Chambre is in the door at the far end of this room," Celimene tells Molpe matter-of-factly.

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

[sblock]Molpe only offered Wei-Han a smile, though this one was teasing, as she once again spoke to the busty brunette in Seelie, “I am honored to call you friend also, Celimene.” Molpe paused long enough in her walking to mimic Celimene greeting as best, and as honorable as she could, before adding the caste Amaranthian Kiss of friendship, “and that is how we address our friends on my home planet.”

Molpe smiled happily at the brunette obviously enjoying her limited time so far but her curiosity wouldn’t me quenched so easily as she asked more question, “Where are your lands, dear Celimene, and when was your time of need?” [/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
"I come from the kingdom of Rowain. But I stowed-away on a Spelljamming ship and escaped to this place to escape the tyrannical grasp of my controlling father...He wanted to marry me off to some old ugly man, so I decided to escape into the stars and see what my fortune would bring me. Turns out not much. Without enough items of value to sustain myself in this expensive city, I was cast onto the streets, and I would have surely starved to death had not Mistress Zarina found me and taken me in, treating me as she would a younger sister."

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

[sblock]“Oh how dreadful!” Molpe exclaimed before she supportively hugged the young brunette, “I’m so glad you where spared such a horrible fate! Wei-Han and I spent sometime in the Laborers’ Ward eailier and I must admit while there are some nice people that live there it’s not a suffering existence I would ever wish upon a soul… I hope to help those trapped there, especially a young child and mother that my heart goes out for.”

Almost as if the subject is too much for her, her smile is long gone replaced by a frown and near tears, Molpe tries to change the subject and offers a small smile as she does so, “Our mutual friend Mistress Zarina is truly a wonderful woman, isn’t she?” [/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
"Yes, she is very kind, and wonderful too. I owe everything to her, and yet I feel that even if not for this, she would still be my dear friend. She is so kind, and beautiful, and full of life and joy."

*She unlocks the door at the end of the room, opening it gently to reveal the room inside and holding it open, motioning for her two clients to enter ahead of her.*

*The Waterfall Chambre is furnished with a beautiful blue decor, including a set of cute light-blue towels neatly folded on a reclining chair by the side of the pool. What interests Molpe more is the water, however. Crystal clear and noticably natural, the water steams up from below, bubbling gently as it does, gently caressing the sides of the natural rock bottom of the pool. Any Naiad would be proud to have this place as her own, and that is quite a compliment indeed. Most magnificent of all is a large and energetic blue waterfall, cascading playfully down the rocks built along the walls and ceiling and pouring downwards, creating a special spot near the back of the pool where a bather can luxuriantly bask underneath the waterfall.*
