[QUOTE="Sephiroth no Miko, post: 1923712, member: 4796"] The guardian bristles slightly at Flaust's scolding, not so dispassionate as not to evince some indignation at her reading of its situation. "I am not [i]geased[/i] here as punishment," it growls stiffly. "I was summoned and bound here by Daru ib Shamiq to guard yonder portal to mine utmost ability. But it has been centuries since my master has bestirred himself and the empty years grow wearisome." It shrugs and its voice returns to its previous impassivity. "However, if thou truly seekest passage, then thou must either absolve my [i]geas[/i] or release me into the embrace of death if thou art able. Either way, I wouldst be free of this tedious duty." Its ruby gaze shifts to Vlad. "Shouldst thou manage the former, nothing would happen. I would depart peacefully and thou mayest explore the chambers beyond to thine heart's content. I have little interest in these mortal realms, and even less of its inhabitants. Shouldst thou choose the latter, then a great deal of mayhem will likely result." It seems neither elated nor dismayed by the possibility... merely resigned. [/QUOTE]
