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

[Keia]

Zykovian T'Erilan Male Altanian Hps: 8/18

*In S/E/HP*

“My part in this has been resolved . . . I no longer have the jewel and Alire said I was free to go, for now. Are you suggesting you will hold me here against my will?”

"Of course I will not hold you against your will . . . maybe with your will," Zykovian paused, surprised at himself that he spoke that way. "Molpe, consider for a moment that the gem was planted on you without your knowledge, that a hair color either exactly or extremely close to your beautiful color was planted at evidence sites, and I hope you understand that your part has not been resolved . . . ."

"Who would want to plant the gem on you? Who would implicate you as a murderer and a thief? The answers to these questions can only come through discussion with you. I would think that only a few people could or would do such a thing - if so, that provides information on what is going on. Your safety is at question - not from me or hopefully any around you now, but others that would have an interest in you."

"Any chance on moving these discussions inside, Glamour . . . Molpe?"

[SBLOCK]“You could also just write it down and give Glamour the paper to discuss it with us, if you cannot stand to be around any longer,” Melody offers.[/SBLOCK]

Unlike something like 'Foresight,' Melody is not obviously a Dolathi name, but it is also not typical Rowaini (Rowaini tend to have Romance-language sounding names). It would be unusual, but not impossible--whereas the name of Vhris is pretty much impossible for a Rowaini

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

(Seelie) “Fine, have it your way, Zykovian, I’ll stay,” Molpe gave in her shoulders slumping heavily, “I was just hoping to get a in sometime at the bathhouse before it started. I would like to look as lovely as possible and if you’re going to flirt with me, Zykovian, please do so in my native language.”

* Molpe answered his next question by turning and walking towards the front door. *

Mhrazhar, Mojiin Avenger HP: 15/20

After the translation Mhrazhar looks to Molpe and speaks
[Mojiin][sblock]"Whoever it was knew you well enough to know where you are going to be and what you will do. They know that you will be going to the convocation tomorrow and may have thought to pick up the gem then, or take care of you there. They obviously were familiar enough with you to have your hair and access to your clothes. You may not realize it but you are the prey now, and you are being hunted. What kind of hunter are you?

I do not know you and I certainly do not trust you. You are corrupted and that is something that needs to explainedl. You have walked a dark path somehow and your very prescence endangers us all and the Crazan Arris."[/sblock]
The Mojiin eyes her carefully for a response...

Rystil [sblock]I Detect Corruption again to verify my findings..[/sblock]

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

(Seelie: Translated through either Glamour or Zykovian) “I am not a hunter at all, good dragon, nor will I ever be,” Molpe covers up feeling uncomfortable about this line of talk, “Corruption? I would think not… I’ve done nothing wrong and I don’t like it when you say otherwise.”

 

[Rystil Arden]

"While I'm somewhat disturbed that you have multiple personalities that you can turn on and off, I know where I stand with the current persona . . . though I would like sometime to see and spend time with this Eri . . . I would like that, indeed."

*Alire replies in Eldish:*
[SBLOCK]
"Arris has two natures--the gentle, caring Mother and the vengeful Nemesis, a later avatar that was created after the atrocities of the Dragonlords. The Mojiin have split along these lines as well, Preservers and Avengers...Is it so strange, then, that poor little Eri's mind was too weak, and she had to create a vengeful aspect as well? Some day, when Arris is safe from the Dragonlords, there will be no more need for me at all, and I will be able to simply fade away and cease to exist."
[/SBLOCK]
*With that said, Alire heads behind the house, and then returns less than a minute later, with the unconscious still not yet awoken...But it isn't exactly Alire who returns. Gone is her tight-fitting Greenweave armour and pants, her perpetual scowl, and the sharp look in her eyes. Instead, she wears a pretty lavender dress that compliments her amethyst hair, which she has loosed freely down her back instead of tying it up to keep it out of her way. Her face holds a friendly smile, and her sapphire-blue eyes, no longer narrowed in suspicion, are big and kind, reminiscent of how she looked when she was asleep. When her gaze falls on Molpe, tears come to her eyes, and she rushes over and tries to give the Nymph a hug but her legs fail, causing her to collapse prostrate in front of Molpe as she clutches against the Nymph, crying in Seelie:*
[SBLOCK]
"I'm so sorry, Molpe! What Alire did to you was awful and inexcusable. You must hate me--and I deserve it! Can you ever find it in your heart to forgive me? I know that you are a kind and loving person and that you would never do something like those awful things Alire said you did!"

Mhrazhar:
[SBLOCK]
Detect Corruption does not find any corruption at all this time.

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

* Molpe quickly kneels next to the crying Alire, holding the amethyst haired women in her arms, as she tries to reassure her that everything is alright. *

(Seelie) [sblock]“Shhh,” Molpe begins, “Shhh, just stop that, you’ll soil your beautiful dress with your unneeded tears. I’m not mad at you, my dear, I don’t think I could be even if I tried and of course you are forgiven.”[/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

*The amethyst-haired woman's tears abate somewhat, as she wipes them away with the back of her left hand and smiles a small smile.*
[SBLOCK]
"Really? Oh...you're so kind, Molpe. By the way, my name is Erila, but my friends call me Eri...will you be my friend?"
[/SBLOCK]

*The unconscious folk (including Fedowin and Abdiel) begin to stir awake*
