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

[FreeXenon]

Mhrazhar, Mojjin Avenger

Melody and Abdiel (M&A)[sblock]
[Mojiin] (Speaking to) Abdiel [SBLOCK]
[OOC: OK, this is the last of the conversation that I wanted to say before we left for the Faith Ward]

:"My goal is to learn as much as possible during my travels so that I may best protect her when I am back within her embrace. I will do what I can while I am here, but if I can get a chance to experience other places, then I believe that I will be better able to protect Arris when I return."

"By the Green Leaves of Arris, how do you think that by leaving Taij loose and giving up on hunting down her destroyers are you better able to protect Arris. I can see value in learning more of the world, but there is no value in giving up the hunt and leaving those who deserve Nemesis's wrath, unpunished. By what other means are we able to destroy those who have and would destroy our beloved Mother. Exploring does not bring the wrath of Nemesis and juststice... It only the hunt that brings vindication... That is why we are here... the hunt...

How did we come upon this fairytale plot? The hunt and Nemesis' will. Our beloved Arris who demands retribution brought us here and allowed us to be apart of this. We are the 'Children of Arris'. We are 'Children of the Hunt'. We will spend our lives hunting those who would bring her harm. Embrace Her... Embrace Her will... Embrace the Hunt.. My dear Sister... "

*Mhrazhar smiles to you and sighs - you see compassion and affection in his eyes*

"I think one day we will understand each other better... It is Arris' will... I know you love Her, but sometimes I fail to see how. How can we (Avengers and Preservers) love her so much and have it manifest so differently.

Let us continue with our hunt my sister. " [/SBLOCK][/sblock]

Mhrazhar, Mojiin Avenger

[Mojiin] (Speaking to) Abdiel [SBLOCK]"Unwounded hunters hunt better. I have money left from the hunt if we need more for healing. I have about 500gp left. After that, we should gather the rest of your companions and hurry back to your red eyes and fairytale..."[/sblock]

 

[Eonthar]

Abdiel Lyanthra

(Speaking in Seelie to) Melody:[SBLOCK]

“We have two decent options here, the Sacra might help us for a low fee or maybe even for free, but well... there is a risk involved, since they sometimes consider a person a heretic and hurt them. I don't think we are, in there eyes, but you never know for sure. The Praetorians, on the other hand, will require a proper payment, but will also offer the right services for it.”

"What determines whether they consider a person a heretic? If their beliefs align with ours, then maybe we should try the Sacra temple. Otherwise, Mhrazhar tells me that she has some money to contribute to the group. I will leave the final decision to you."

(Speaking in Mojiin to) Mhrazhar:[SBLOCK]

"Exploring does not bring the wrath of Nemesis and juststice... It only the hunt that brings vindication... That is why we are here... the hunt..."

"I am sorry sister, but you are wrong. You are here for the hunt. I am not. I do not believe that hunting down and killing all opponents is the right path. I believe that they must be nurtured and taught the proper path so that they will join us. The Valsian Ecomancers show us that this strategy is starting to pay off on Arris. Once we have taught the Valsians the proper way to treat our mother then they will support our cause. If we simply hunt them down to extinction, we will be no better than they are."

"I think one day we will understand each other better... It is Arris' will... I know you love Her, but sometimes I fail to see how. How can we love her so much and have it manifest so differently."

"I am sure that we will one day understand each other better. I do not believe that either of us will be able to convince the other that their way is better. You love our mother by trying to kill her enemies. I love our mother by protecting her and nurturing her. It is the two sides of the same leaf. We both have the same goal, but both of us have very different views of how best to achieve that goal."

"Thank-you for the offer of your extra coins. I am not sure if we will require them. Melody will bring us to a temple, and we will see what happens when we get there. If we go to the Sacra temple, prepare yourself for trouble for if they determine that we are heretics they may try and cause problems for us. I just wanted to warn you."

Zykovian T’Erilan, Male Altanian Hp's: 5/18

Rystil and Fedowin[sblock](in eldish)

". . . Do you have any idea why they attacked you or what woman that dagger was for? Or how they caught you in this alley?"

*Zykovian looked rather annoyed at the question. Shaking his head, he stowed the fletching and tips in separate pouches, then stood. With a critical eye, he looked himself over, displeasure evident upon glancing at the near death blow wound and related blood trail.*

“No idea, though in this business . . . it could be just about anything,” Zykovian answered. “The dagger had a note with it – I believe Abdiel took it with him. How they caught us in this alley . . . I’m not happy about that – not at all. I was watching . . . obviously not good enough . . . We found the body of the Mojiin . . . I was looking it over when we were jumped.”

“I’ll get the guards and be right back, Fedowin,” Zykovian added.[/sblock]

*Not having Knowledge[Religion], Melody fails to recall any specific details about heretics in the Sacra belief system.*

[Rystil Arden]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
"Well...it depends," Glamour grins, "Would you like me to give you a full Larakese makeover before we go?"
[/SBLOCK]

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

[SBlock]“You think Hun would like that don’t you?” Molpe asked rhetorically as she noted the grin. Her last attempt to make Wei-Han feel special hadn’t been as successful as she would have liked so it was an easy decision for her, Molpe would try again, “yes, please do, sister. I want to surprise him as he surprised me.” [/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
"Sure, sister!" Glamour replies.

*She leaves and quickly returns with some hair-styling tools, and begins gently combing out Molpe's hair in preparation for twisting it up so it could fall back straight behind her in one of the traditional Larakese fashions.*

"So, Sister Molpe, what is your opinion on make-up?" Glamour asks curiously.
[/SBLOCK]

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

[SBlock]“Make-up?” Molpe looked lost for second before it dawned on her what it was, “Oh I don’t know… It’s not really something us Amaranthian do but if it’s traditional for Larakese females then we should do it, right sister?” [/SBlock]
