Shards of Memory-Prologue: Fractured Union

Rystil:

[SBLOCK]
She closes her eyes as she feels Subterfuge's warm touch upon her neck, trying to suppress a shiver of pleasure at the contact.

She is amazed when she sees the mirror, at first unable to recognize her own reflect. He was right, she did look stunning. She smiled, and looked back at him. "What can I say? It is you that brings out the best in me."

Yotsu Yuriko, Martial Artist

Rystil[SBLOCK]

"Yuriko...how are we still?...Did you...defeat it?" Shinoa asks from behind her, her voice less hoarse, lighter and sweeter after her rest, "Wait...where is Han?"

*Yuriko rose from the chair quickly and smoothly, turning to Shinoa when she spoke.*
"Yes, Shinoa-sama, I defeated the creature," Yuriko paused before continuing, struggling to find the right words. She spoke quietly, "However, the damage was already done . . . Han has passed on to the ancestors . . . I am sorry for you loss."

"Han's body is outside . . . separate from the creature which is also outside. I did not perform any ceremony, other than my simple prayers over them . . . I wanted you to be able to have your chance to . . . well . . . ."

*Yuriko bowed her head in her loss of words, though still kept Shinoa in her vision.*[/sblock]

Kirkesh:
[SBLOCK]
*Vanessa smiles and blushes, very pleased at Kirkesh's praise, and she sighs in pleasure as Kirkesh licks her earlobe.*

*Then the two climb the stairs and head towards their room on the second floor, but as they do Vanessa whispers:*

"Look over there--there's a guard in front of the door to my room--what now?"

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
*Valyssa dances gracefully alongside Zaeryn, leaning forward to steal some kisses when she gets the chance, as they slowly drift across the dance-floor, lingering in each other's arms.*

*Suddenly, the music changes from the slow, sweet melody from before to one with a lively beat and a faster tempo.*

Talia:
[SBLOCK]
*Subterfuge smiles and says jokingly:*

"What are teachers for, right?"

*Then he pokes his head behind her so she can see them both looking into their reflections in the mirror.*

"We may be in trouble, though--they might get upset if all the people in the Grand Amphitheatre are distracted from the play by the blinding beauty of the dark-haired woman in the front row!"

Zaeryn T'Erilan, Male Altanian Arcanist

Rystil

[SBLOCK]*Picking up the pace of their dancing to match that of the music, Zaeryn begins to spin Valyssa out and then back to his body.*

*Vanessa smiles and blushes, very pleased at Kirkesh's praise, and she sighs in pleasure as Kirkesh licks her earlobe.*

*Then the two climb the stairs and head towards their room on the second floor, but as they do Vanessa whispers:*

"Look over there--there's a guard in front of the door to my room--what now?"

"Do you think you can talk your way past him?" Kirkesh asks.[/SBLOCK]

Talia pauses a moment, regarding their reflections in the mirror. They did make a handsome couple! She then smiled at his words, and took his hand. "Hopefully, that will not be too much of a problem..."

Yuriko:
[SBLOCK]
"Han! Oh, my little baby!" Shinoa cries out in grief.
*Yuriko turns to face Shinoa to see that the widow has reverted to a pretty young woman, around the age of 20, with tears streaking through her eyes for the loss of her child.*

"Rin? Yu? They are alright?" she asks frantically, strong fear and emotion clutching her throat, as she looks to her other two children and sighs when she finds them safe.

"I will go out and help bury my boy. I mourn his death with a heart full of sorrow, but thank the Spirits that you saved all the rest of us...How can we ever repay you?"
[/SBLOCK]

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
*Valyssa twirls out gracefully as Zaeryn spins her, laughing and spinning back to Zaeryn with added speed, using her momentum to fly towards him and up into his arms, hoping that he will lift her and whirl her around him.*

(OOC: Funny thing about dancing in d20--even if you have low Dexterity, you can still be a truly graceful dancer as long as your Charisma is high )
