[QUOTE="megamania, post: 739887, member: 9255"] UNDER A DARKSUN SEGMENT 021 “Reflections” “You’re over stepping on the follow through Mania. Watch me.” Dutch swings his short sword in his right hand then steps in and swings his left hand. “To fight with two separate weapons at once you need to build a rythum. It’s not hack n’ slash.” Mania trys again. His impressive grace almost covers up his poor posture. “ehhh! Take a break Mania,” the secretly impressed Dutch grumbles. In the two days they have been down here Dutch has not only come to like and admire the kid, but come in awe of him. He is overwhelmingly fast, strong and smart….smart-mouthed that is. Everything in his gut says this boy is special. No one is just born this good, this talented. The Nature’s Defender continues to watch Mania as he continues to practice with a grin only seen on children. His missing history disturbs Dutch however. Was he a victum of a mind-bender or was it a truth that was just too damning powerful for his innocent mind to handle? This boy would make or break any group…that was clear. This entire trip was beset by omens. Greene Blewes had a powerful dream. He confided in him about this. A dream calling to him. A dream about water…lots and lots of water. A place of peace and hope. It sounds grand…too grand. But Greene was hooked. Dutch had seen that look before. He or another group were going to be sent to Tyr in search of information. It wasn’t so much destiny but an accepted truth. Mania swings high then low twirling then runs and jumps onto a large clay vase pretending to be fighting gith. “Watch those pots! Have some damned respect for this tomb!”. Secretly he hopes it will not be there tomb also. They had tried throwing ropes up but to no avail. Dogg searched for secret doors but found none. Mania broke three pots and nearly his elbow trying to stack then climb up the pile to reach the ceiling. Everyone knew there was a way out…but where? Mania noisily runs across the row of pots, cracking several. He leaps up onto the wall and back flips into a fighting stance. With a big smile, he awaits applause. After getting none, he continues his game of combating phantom gith. The people Mania described has Dutch’s curiousity as well. He has a sinking feeling that was a pyrenn accompanied by two Villichi. If so, this boy was especially important. The thought of it, the responcibility of it, bothered Dutch to his stoic simple core. Could he train such a boy? Could he make sure he did not become another Valsavis? How long until the Veiled Alliance made a move. Certainly by now, their watchers have seen the boy and are judging him even as Greene is. “OW!” Dutch turns to see Mania upended beside a tall pot. “That’ll teach you boy’” is all he can say. “No Dutch- he was tripped on something…I saw it.” Dogg looks around then sees it. An impossibly thin bland colored cord, thickly covered by webs and silt is found. Looking to the wall, Dogg follows it and finds a hidden seam in the wall- behind the vases. Dogg turns over his shoulder- “oh Duuutch…” he almost sings. [/QUOTE]
