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

[Rystil Arden]

*Alire scoffs in Eldish, having problems with all the talk of killing in Seelie:*
[SBLOCK]
"Don't play the blame game, Zykovian. You are the one who murdered my sisters. As for the dead Mojiin in the alley, I was told you had killed her as well. Asking for parlay seems pretty absurd when you've just murdered several people--why didn't you strike to subdue then if you were so righteous? I know I did against your Avenger in the first fight. I told him I was an Ecomancer too. Then I sent Belle to go get the bodies of our dead to bury and she was attacked by that Rowaini fellow! Quite a few so-called coincidences if you ask me."

"But leaving that aside since, as I said, it is not of importance, please do give the Crazan Arris to myself and Abdiel. Abdiel and I will take it back to Arris and kill any servants of Zaryl who try to stop us. I am just massively relieved that Abdiel did not become a Defiler or something...Belle just told me a few minutes ago that Abdiel was the the one with you other than that slow-witted Avenger...Abdiel was such a kind soul...I am glad he is well."

Melody

Responding to Alire, Melody says:

(Eldish, because it's better suited to talk about killing and all that)
[SBLOCK]“Please, no talk in languages, we do not understand, we are trying to resolve the situation, and you are not helping it that way. What did you just say?

And stop listening to the Nymph, she has no clue what's going on, whatsoever! She's trying to help, some, but she does know nothing about the situation. She is being fooled, too, like you, like Abdiel, like everyone here. By someone we do not know. You are in a position to be that person, so it's just natural to suspect you.

Then, if you are an Ecomancer, and that has to mean something, then why do you wave away the fact, that Abdiel is a preserver that easily? You are blinded by what you have been told about Zykovian! Blinded! Open your damn eyes!

Your sisters died? Yes, they did. It's sad and I'm sorry for your loss. If I would not have tried to knock them out only, when you attacked us in the alley and tried to kill us, because I didn't know you and I don't normally kill people, although I was very close with your bunch, there would have been a lot more of them dead by now! What do you expect, if you rush strangers, trying to kill them? That they greet you warmly and let you proceed? Maybe you should think about your actions a little! We were telling you, that we want to return the gem then and we do tell it to you now, nothing has changed. I don't know who told you what you heard about us, but you are being fooled!

We want to return the Crazan Arris to Arris!”[/SBLOCK]

*Alire points to her sapphire-blue eyes and responds to Melody in Eldish:*
[SBLOCK]
"I don't know why you're so ready to spit vitriol at me, when you're supposedly trying to 'negotiate,' but I will answer your foolish accusations. See these? They are the sign of an Ecomancer. As is everything I do and every spell I cast. The Avenger has a detection ability that also vindicated me. As for Abdiel, he didn't do anything that made him known as a Preserver. The Avenger, on the other hand, seems borderline Hatesower to me because he correctly determined that I was an Ecomancer and then attacked me to kill while I was attacking to subdue the entire time."

"You may claim that you want to return the Crazan Arris to Arris as many times as you want, but I think one among us is a traitor manipulating the rest to give the jewel to the Dragonlords. I do trust Abdiel and obviously I trust myself, so why don't we both take it as I suggested already?"
[/SBLOCK]

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

* Molpe turns with annoyance, casting her royal blue eyes towards Zykovian in a “I told you so glance” in the same movement, but eventually the fall upon Vhris. Like last time she remains silent choosing instead to extend a hand to Alire’s in an effort to calm her. *

Eldish: [sblock]“As disparaging as she speaks of me lets consider Vhris’ words for a moment. Finding out whom this unknown manipulator will go along way to establishing trust between you too,” Molpe pauses to flash a small warming smile, “I think the key to such an accomplishment revolves around finding out who killed this Mojiin you speak off. Both of you have heard different stories, some involve me, and some don’t.”

“I would give my word that I didn’t do it, that I’ve only been in the city for less than a day and couldn’t find my way back to the docks without my miss protector… or the simple fact that I even need a protector, and I’m it seems incapable of killing someone, especially a species as physically impressive as a Mojiin but I have an idea of how it could have happened. Please note that I have no suspects, but I’ve been told more than once that I’m not good when it comes to suspicions and I took that as a most sincere complement.” [/sblock]

* She pauses again flashing another smile, and this time a wink towards Zykovian, letting all present know who exactly had said such a thing before she turned to Alire. *

Eldish: [sblock]“We ran into each other quite early in the day today, I’m sure you remember I was with my protector, Wei-Han, and though I didn’t understand the language you spoke many of this Crazan Arris many times. Since I didn’t realize I was truly the carrier of this jewel it didn’t go very nice but it does mean one thing. Glamour, my sister standing behind me, isn’t involved in this affair cause I didn’t meet her into many hours later.”

“When I did meet her she showed me something I had never scene before and its something I would like to have your unbiased attention upon, okay, Alire? Zykovian?” [/sblock]

* Though she asks them a question she doesn’t wait for them to reply instead she turns to her sister with a smile. *

Eldish: [sblock]“My most wonderful sister, would you please show us how truly remarkable you can be in your ability to be my twin sister.” [/sblock]

OOC: I do believe that was a full minute of spoken text. Diplomacy +19

Melody

Melody breathes deeply and then speaks more calmly to Alire.

(Eldish)
[SBLOCK]“Okay, if you say know, that you would trust Abdiel, disregarding your earlier accusations aimed at him, then that is absolutely fine by me. I'm telling this Nymph since the beginning, that she should wake him up. I'm here to help him, and for no other reason. If he agrees to cooperate with you, so will I, since I know I can trust his judgement and unfortunately I do not know if I can trust you after what you and your girls did, although I do believe that you were acting on false assumptions now; but we cannot ask him, while he is unconscious and the Nymph refuses to heal him.”[/SBLOCK]

Melody

Melody then says a few words to Molpe.

(Seelie)
[SBLOCK]“I am certain, that you are not the one who did all that, you are not capable of such things.”[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Glamour uses her Dolathi ability to transform into an uncanny duplicate of Molpe.*

*Alire considers Glamour's transformation, then says to Melody in Eldish:*
[SBLOCK]
"I guess as the Mojiin Murderer she doesn't like doing the opposite and healing Mojiin..."
[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Alire adds to Melody in Eldish:*
[SBLOCK]
"Besides, the fact that it is Abdiel mollifies things...Before it was just some Mojiin, maybe even a Deflier, but I know Abdiel to be an honourable Preserver.
[/SBLOCK]

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

* Molpe looks towards Alire at the mention of the Mojiin murder. *

Eldish: [sblock]“He isn’t suffering, and as we have already discussed I only healed Zykovian and yourself so you two could discus this and not fight, yet again.”[/sblock]

Melody

(Eldish)
[SBLOCK]“But it's Abdiel she needs to talk to, not Zykovian, even though I'm glad to see him awake as well.”[/SBLOCK]
