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

Melody

Melody turns to Glamour, who has been remarkably silent so far, considering what happened at her place.

[SBLOCK]“Say, you don't happen to have a few more of those healing potions lying around? We will gladly pay for them, but I really don't want to have Abdiel and Fedowin lying around in your garden, as beautiful as it is, and I'm sure you agree, that they should not spend the whole night here in that condition. Same goes for the Rosethorns, I suppose. I would gladly leave you in peace as soon as possible, but only together with the others, as you surely understand.”[/SBLOCK]

*Alire looks a bit sad and wistful when she hears Molpe's response, then replies in Seelie*
[SBLOCK]
"...And now I reap the rewards of my investigation--your contempt and hatred...You know...once I was naive like you, and I thought that just being nice to everyone would mean they would be nice to me, and do the right thing...But people are evil, Molpe. I learned that the hard way. A girl can find sollipsistic happiness for herself with such a narrow worldview, if she is lucky, but it is not enough to succeed at a greater cause...The little voice of Eri cries inside to see people hating me...hurt by me...but Alire doesn't care...I don't care. Not any more. My investigation was necessary to ease my suspicion...Eri was idealistic, feckless, and ineffectual, but I will restore our dying mother to her full glory, and if it has to mean that everyone hates Alire, then so be it!"
[/SBLOCK]
*Bellangere's eyes brim with compassion, but she doesn't speak. She had been told to be quiet and she will listen, at least for now.*

*Glamour replies to Melody in Eldish:*
[SBLOCK]
"Oh...uhm...I do have more, but I thought my sister didn't want anybody healed until she was ready to do it with her wand. She said it would aid negotiations I think."
[/SBLOCK]

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

Eldish: [sblock]“I wish you luck in restoring your dying mother, Alire, but I think there is a better way to succeed, if you lose yourself, if you destroy more than what you have saved then your nothing but the evil at which you clam to hate and to fight.”[/sblock]

* Molpe pauses considering her next worlds carefully, or maybe the true implications of their meaning. *

Eldish: [sblock]“if you do not mind and at your convince, Alire, I would like to see my sister’s body.” [/sblock]

Zykovian T'Erilan Male Altanian Hps: 8/18

Rystil Only[sblock]*Zykovian looked at all of those present . . . and realized that he was the only conscious male present. He was alone in an estrogen ocean. He looked to Mhrazhar for understanding . . . realizing there may not be any help there - they were all sisters.*[/sblock]*In S/E/HP*

"Well, at least Alire is still idealistic . . . but now it seems to be an ideal in which everyone is bad and evil," Zykovian commented. "Which has complicated things thus far . . . ."

Zykovian T'Erilan Male Altanian Hps: 8/18

*In S/E/HP*

"Molpe, was anything else discussed with the princess about the trip . . . anything at all?" Zykovian asked. "Did she mention that someone would meet you here to guide you around? Or did she anticipate that you would travel well enough on your own on your first visit to Eldiz?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Alire replies to what she views as Molpe's naivete in Eldish.*
[SBLOCK]
"Its not like I do evil, but what I've learned is that it doesn't matter if the whole world likes me or sees me for who I truly am inside--My desire for succor and love from others once got in my way, but not anymore. Now I'm not loved any more like I used to be..."
[/SBLOCK]
*Bellangere moves her mouth as if about to speak, as Alire smiles at her and says*
[SBLOCK]
"At least except by those who understand...But I have been able to do so much more for Arris than before...and soon it will all be worth it--returning the Crazan Arris is something for which I am more than willing to give my life, let alone my good name."
[/SBLOCK]

(Rowaini)
[SBLOCK]“Don't get me wrong, I'm using my mother language, because I do not want to offend her more than necessary.

Well, your 'sister' unfortunately seems to be lost in her own world, doing only what she wants, not caring the least for others as it seems. She really seems a little self-centered, like a child. Hey, I don't really have anything against her, it has been a long day and a lot of bad things happened today, so I might be a bit edgy, but I can't help it. Anyways, she knows rather little about what would help in these negotiations... it certainly does not help to leave the person unconscious, who is a central figure here and without whom it is impossible to resolve some primary questions, like what to do with the Crazan Arris. And really, I'm growing tired of her childish behaviour, but I will not leave my friends close to death like this!”[/SBLOCK]

"Well, at least Alire is still idealistic . . . but now it seems to be an ideal in which everyone is bad and evil," Zykovian commented. "Which has complicated things thus far . . . ."

*Alire snorts and replies:*
[SBLOCK]
"Were you listening? The continued assumed accusations were a ploy to bait a reaction and try to learn more--nothing more. Your continued belief in my inability to parse morality is in itself a flavour of the same delusion of which you accuse me. Perhaps we are both partly guilty of this."
[/SBLOCK]

*Glamour replies to Melody in Rowaini:*
[SBLOCK]
"Well, I agree with you that the Mojiin should be healed, but it out of my hands, and I must trust my sister implictly, even in times where she might be a bit misguided, knowing that she is only trying to be kind and helpful and that she will do the same for me. My suggestion is to get Zykovian to ask her to heal this Abdiel. It seems like she will listen to him."
