Hopefully I'll be able to put down the actual conversation later this morning, when I wake up again <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />.Edit: Typo.BelialThe orcs plaguing Aglaonis' southern valley were some five hundred strong, one of the weak tribes being driven west by tribes like Breaking Cat. Greppa might have felt sorry for them were he not in dire need of action.He flew high overhead, dropping balls of fire and shrieking blasts of cold on the scraggly groups who looked inclined to fight, and then chased them to the edge of the forest, a look of grim death on his face.Afterward, however, he still wasn't... satisfied. Grumbling at a world where a man couldn't take out his frustrations on the enemy, he retired to his room at the inn. He'd very nearly fallen asleep when there was a knock at the door.From his bed, he yelled at the door, "Yeah? What?""I would speak with you." The voice was a rich, chocolate bass, rumbling through the door frame and rolling around the corners of the room. It wasn't loud exactly, but it was powerfully present... and the accent, Greppa could not identify, but spoke of ancient lands and black forests.Greppa was at the door faster than one might imagine, given his reputation for short legs.The speaker turned out to be.... Greppa wasn't sure. Not human. Skin that belonged on an arab girl, impossibly smooth and the color of creamed coffee, was stretched over six feet of perfectly proportioned and muscled male. His eyes were black and deep, with almost no whites, his hair was a mass of black ringlets framing his face, and... a pair of wings, black feathered and folded into layers around his shoulders, sprouted from his back.A choker necklace of square, black iron plates was taut around his neck, and a matching belt held up a loincloth. A pair of black iron bands covered his forearms from elbow to wrist. But other than the unmarked and plain dress... his presence seemed to fill the room.The entity just stood there, for a moment, studying Greppa as Greppa studied him, then, "I would speak with you about your role in the conflicts yet to come. May I come in?"Silently, mouth slightly open, Greppa widened the door and let Him in.</blockquote>
