Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lobo Lurker" data-source="post: 3743320" data-attributes="member: 25172">"Know them? No, it is more acute to say that we..." he gestures to the two, now three phantasmal figures crouching in the shadows of the tree canopy. "...know OF them."He strides gracefully over to the still-smoldering corpse and regards it accompanied by more ticking and whirring. After a half-minute he continues, "As for why they do what they do... I really think you should ask them. I would have liked to know why HE was here, doing whatever it was that he was doing... he's dead now, and corpses only talk to necromancers so I suppose that we'll never know."Walking over to Kiera he extends his left hand. "You have the privilege of addressing Miquient Fil'hon. These..." he says, gesturing to the shadowy forms that now number four, "...are my broken shadows, my soulless cousins, my corrupted blood brothers." He speaks with a surprising passion... as if anything he said could be construed as good or even desirable. "We come from the sea of darkness above, the ocean of stars, the desert of creation; Our cousins do too."He walks past Kiera and approaches the Princess Jessa and the former Lord-Marshal Jeremy. "Our cousins are motivated and enthusiastic... are you sure you have done nothing to raise their ire? Whatever it is they want, they want it bad." He turns to the rest of you. "And because they want it so fiercely, it behooves my people to know why. I could... protect you... save you... shield you from my cousins. I can hide you in the shadows, cloak you in darkness; they fear the darkness... lacking the will to take it in and make it their own."He revolves slowly and raises his arms, pointing to both Kiera and Jessa. "You two are known to us. We would make you this offer. Perhaps together we could find out why our cousins have traveled so very far and expended so very many resources simply to make war on your primative little world."</blockquote>
