[Zatium would be Shangshi disguised, due to a quest mechanics problem. :beta: Sorry for the caused confusion. For the sake of clarity I changed the last two sentences. Hope you are enjoying it so far  :) ]

Jacula watches Mogweh, waiting for him to move. Wondering and planning his fate.

[oh yes, Jacula actually puts the fear of BF into Mogweh. Especially when his fur goes up and he thinks he's being watched...

I can't wait for the next event to unfold]

[I've come to find that people are more inclined to read a text if there is a picture in there, and i assure you they wont be more graphic than they already are. As for further artwork, all of it wont be of a morbid nature. And if that is the case, people reading this thread has been thoroughly warned. Thank you for that input Shangshi  :thumbup:]

[eeek >.<]

[What the hell, a hammer?! xD You guys are crazy!  :thumbup: It was a lot of fun to read, excellent RP.
I really enjoyed Ardeth's personality-type, he cracked me up and added a great twist at the end ;D
Poor Jacula though, his future seems to be shrouded in mystery, what will happen next? *worried* ]

* Rigwyn smirks as he looks at Mellas. With a heavy emphasis on the word "gift" he replies "Heh heh ... Yes, that hammer was a gift from a miniature red haired Laanx priest wanna-be I met a few days prior. Don't think she'll be needin it back any time soon though.  * Sigh * If she could only see what it was used for .. heh heh"

[ Thanks Jacula and Ardeth for the awesome RP.. I'm very eager to see how this unfolds.  ]

*Samcat witnessed Jacula being kidnapped and is unsure if he should tell of it to others. Who is this Ynnwn and why was he taken? *shivers*
[I've been meaning to post for a while now so here I go. Truly fantastic Rp  \\o// i'm looking forward to see how it develops and i'd love to join in myself  :sorcerer:]

[ @Samcat - I would say do whatever your character would do. If your the red haired dwarf that ran into Rigywn at Kada El's then feel free to look for him again. I'm definitely interested in picking up where we left off. ]

Rigwyn was standing outside of Kada El's looking in. He was disguised in a flowing with hooded robe and wore a wooden figurine of Xiosia hanging from his neck. In the past few days he had run into Caira and Mellas and worked hard to convince them that he was not this "Rigwyn" - rather he was an innocent soul who looked identical to Rigwyn. It was a horrible burden that he had endured for years and for which he had taken much unjust abuse as a result of being mistaken. Whether or not Caira or Mellas believed him was unclear but he was pretty sure that they had.

A menki approaches the entrance and stops looking at him. Unconcerned Rigwyn continues to peer into the many windows and openings. The Menki approaches hesitantly but Rigwyn ignores him assuming he must be new in town.


(05:31:47) Samcat seems to recognize the figure white hooded robe. He growls slightly and takes a few steps back 'tabei?'
(05:32:26) Rigwyn quirks a brow and then his face straightens "Have we met ? You dont look familiar to me"
(05:33:56) Samcat seems scared as he stutters slowly 'No.. No, i must have been mistaken' before walkign towards the tavern, hoping for saftey in numbers
(05:34:40) Rigwyn follows Samcat in "Well then .. How about a pint then ? "
05:34:48) Rigwyn grins and laughs
(05:35:33) Samcat swallows and glances at Rigwyn, his paws visibly trembleing 'No.. I-i was just leaving' he whimpers before making for the exit

Rigwyn Follows Samcat as they speak, unaware that Caira and Shangshi are nearby.

(05:36:00) Rigwyn looks around puzzled
(05:36:12) Rigwyn says: Hey easy there..
(05:36:13) Caira watches Samcat leave, her wide blue eyes looking to Ellola then Rigwyn.
(05:36:34) Rigwyn says: Was Just offerin ya a drink .. You seem a bit edgy ?
(05:37:56) Shangshi leans on the railing waching Rigwyn and Samcat
(05:38:07) Rigwyn scratches his pants and then follows the Menki
(05:38:16) Caira stiffens as she recognises the white-clad figure, her eyes quickly narrowing. She catches the faint murmur of Samcat's words, her eyebrows raising. "Mornin' Broth-"

Rigwyn sees Samcat hiding around the corner of he building. He tries to lighten up the tension a bit.

(05:38:18) Rigwyn says: Boo !
(05:39:02) Caira frowns, treading out of the doorway and crossing her arms, her gaze flicking between the Menki and the Diaboli.
(05:39:29) Samcat presses himself against the wall, he fidgets his wooden club. He seems startled as Rigwyn walks around the corner 'No!' he growls before running away towards the sewer
(05:40:00) Shangshi looks at Caira as she walks up.

Rigwyn follows Samcat into the sewers but loses sight of him as the go around the corner.

(05:41:19) Samcat sneaks up behing Rigwyn trying to pummel him over the head with his club
(05:41:22) Rigwyn persues Samcat curiously
(05:42:25) Caira gives a sharp intake of breath as she catches a glimpse of Samcat swinging the slub toward Rigwyn's head, her fingers losing their grip on the splintered, slightly damp wood. She curses under her breath, sliding to the bottom of the ladder.
(05:43:35) Rigwyn stubles forward as a wicked pain emenates from his back.
(05:44:04) Samcat shoots Caria a desperate look as she slides down the ladder 'Help, dangerous man!' he shouts pointing to Rigwyn
(05:44:37) Shangshi slips down the ladder landing next to Caira.
(05:45:02) Samcat looks petrified as he hits Rigwyn over the head, his eyes widen as the diaboli turns around.
(05:45:11) Rigwyn turns around shouting "Stop ! Im not the man that you think I am"
(05:45:27) Caira's eyes widen at Samcat's plea. She hesitates, jumping slightly as Shangshi drops down next to her. "Put the club down, Menki! Please."
(05:46:08) Samcat falls to his knees, dropping the club as he cries into his paws 'I'm sorry Tabei' he whimpers 'I'm sorry'
(05:46:11) >Samcat Silka takes a seat.
(05:46:14) Caira gently places her hand on Samcat's shoulder, attempting to reassure him enough for him to relax his grip.
(05:46:17) Caira says: {oopsies. xD}
(05:46:23) >Samcat Silka dropped a Club.
(05:46:35) Rigwyn steps back with his hands extended. "Let me explain"
(05:47:28) Caira quickly kneels to the menki's side, reaching over him to grab the club.
(05:47:43) Rigwyn says: "There is a man. A Diaboli who looks just like me. He commits terrible crimes"
(05:47:45) Samcat looks up at Rigwyn with tearfilled sultry eyes, nodding slightly before he looks down into the ground
(05:48:28) Rigwyn says: "He even dresses like me. When I change garb he somehow coppies me"
(05:48:59) Shangshi fingers the hit of his sabre "You ok Caira?" he asks as he watches Rigwyn.
(05:49:30) Rigwyn looks to Caira "You believe me right maam?"
(05:49:35) Caira gently places the club a little away from the menki, tilting her head to give Shangshi a meek nod. "I'm fine, I think."
(05:49:44) Samcat sniffs and wipes his tears away 'I.. I must have been mistaken' he exclaims, not knowing what else to say.
(05:50:43) Rigwyn kneels down looking at Samcat with a sympathetic expression "Its ok brother. We all make mistakes"
(05:50:45) >Rigwyn Setson takes a seat.
(05:50:51) >Caira Monteverte picked up a Club
(05:50:56) >Caira Monteverte dropped a Club.
(05:51:19) Samcat cowers away from Rigwyn, looking up at Caria with a pleading grimace
(05:51:33) Rigwyn looks to Caira for support
(05:52:16) Caira holds a hand out to Samcat, offering him help up. As she speaks, her gaze doesn't waver from Samcat's. "Give him a little time, brother. He's probably shocked."
(05:52:48) Caira looks to Rigwyn, giving a reassuring smile that doesnt reach her eyes. "Once he's a bit more comfortable, perhaos you can explain."
(05:52:52) Samcat grabs hold of Caria's leg turnign his face into it, tears flowing freely down her leg
(05:53:30) Rigwyn holds the wooden Xiosia-like figurine that hangs from his neck "Im so sorry. I didnt meen to scare you"
(05:54:07) Caira stiffens as she feels hands grab around her leg, her shoulders slumping as she kneels besides him, tucking her arms around his torso. "Shhh, shh! It's fine. You're safe, tabei."
(05:54:08) >Caira Monteverte takes a seat.
(05:55:08) Rigwyn stands up straightening his white flowing robe and then steps back again to offer some distance.
(05:55:12) >Rigwyn Setson stands up.
(05:55:27) Caira rubs Samcat's back gently, murmuring to him in a light voice.
(05:56:19) Samcat seems doubtfull of Rigwyns excuses, he squeezes Caria slightly as she sits down beside him, 'I just wanted to go home.. And i saw two men beating another man, they dragged him up the staris.. and.. and' he is unable to finish the sentence as he cries into Caria's shoulder
(05:56:35) Rigwyn says: Ive lived with this curse for some time now. Constantly being mistaken for some lunatic who commits crimes. Its an unbearable weight that the gods have put on me.
(05:57:41) Samcat glares at Rigwyn as he suddenly hisses 'What gods would allow such a horrible thing to happen?'
(05:58:16) Caira continues to rub Samcat's back, her blue eyes widening further at the new information. She bites her lip, wanting to know more but not knowing whether she's prying. At Samcat's sudden hiss, she loosens her hands around him slightly.
(05:58:17) Shangshi frowns slightly listening to the conversation "If you thought this man was the one you saw, why head to the sewers?" and looks about "Its not the safest of places."
(05:58:59) Caira shivers, giving a firm nod of agreement.
(05:59:26) Rigwyn says: The gods ways are beyond our comprehension. Why do good men fail to come back from the death realm ... and yet some criminals do ? Is that fair ? Does that make sense ?
(05:59:53) Samcat looks up at Shangshi with tearfilled eyes 'He-he was following me' he stutters 'He is a bad man Tabei, he-he must be..'
(06:00:32) Shangshi says: One must have faith in the gods. And trust in what ever they do.
(06:00:55) Shangshi looks to Samcat a slight concerned look on his face "He must be what?"
(06:01:25) Caira studies the cloaked figure over Samcat's shoulder.
(06:02:12) Samcat slowly gets to his feet, supporting himself against the ladder his claws slowly digging into it 'Let's.. Let's just. I was wrong Tabei, let's forget about this' he stutters with a frightful tone in his voice
(06:02:15) >Samcat Silka stands up.
(06:03:15) Shangshi looks from Samcat to Rigwyn, where his eyes linger. He then offers a hand to Caira to help her up.
(06:03:27) Rigwyn steps forward grasping the ladder
(06:03:41) Caira tries to hide her frown, gratefully taking Shanghi's hand and standing.
(06:03:45) >Caira Monteverte stands up.
(06:04:03) Caira brushes the dust from her shorts, her gaze flicking to Samcat.
(06:04:18) Samcat seems petrified as Rigwyn stands face to face with him, he avoids his gaze as he desperatly eyes his club on the ground
(06:05:17) Rigwyn looks at Samcat "I hope your not going to perpetuate these lies about me." His eyes are cold and dark. "I've lived a hard enough life."
(06:07:06) Samcat trembles as Rigwyns cold eyes dig into his, he reaches for his club attempting to smash it against Rigwyns thigh in a attempt to get away from his cold gaze
(06:07:12) >Samcat Silka picked up a Club
(06:07:49) Rigwyn shouts as the club connects. Angrily he attempts to grab Samcat
(06:08:04) Caira goes to grab the club, cursing under her breath as Samcats snatches it from the ground.
(06:09:12) Samcat runs past Rigwyn as he shouts, seeing him trying to grab him in the corner of his eye.
(06:09:51) Caira runs after him.
(06:10:00) Rigwyn runs after Samcat drawing a pair of swords as he runs
(06:11:55) Caira turns around the corner, almost colliding with Samcat.
(06:12:16) Samcat swings his club wildly against Rigwyn and Caria, visibly startled as they turn the corner
(06:12:53) Rigwyn ducks avoiding the club and swings his bade downward at Samcat in a chopping motion
(06:14:14) Shangshi glares at Rigwyn unsheathing his own sword point it at Rigwyn and then Samcat "Both of you....stop!"
(06:14:19) Caira gives a sharp intake of breath at the club clips the top of her head. She stumbles back, her vision clouding slightly.
(06:14:26) Samcat attempts to pivot to the side. He growls in agony as Rigwyns blade cuts through his left ear, leaving a piece of it laying on the cold ground
(06:15:07) Samcat hisses as he makes a run for it, scared to death as Rigwyn closes in
(06:15:31) Rigwyn steps back hearing Shangshi's voice. Breathing heavily he lowers his swords.
(06:15:55) Rigwyn says: "That little bastard ! "
(06:15:59) Caira blinks away the dark spots of her vision.

Samcat runs off and is out of sight. moments later...

(06:16:40) Samcat falls down breaking through one of the boards below, he desperatly tries to get himself loose but fails.
(06:16:40) Shangshi draws his seond blade and steps forward holding the point of a blade up at him. "Acting like this will do nothing to prove your innocence, if that be the case."
(06:17:48) Rigwyn sighs stepping back again and then drops his swords "How could I bring myself to this.. ?
(06:18:07) Shangshi quickly glances at Caira "Are you ok, the club do anything serious to you."
(06:18:13) Samcat groans loudly, his right leg seems to be broken. He is rendered unable to move Squeezing the handle of his club tightly as he hears the echo of approachign steps
(06:18:19) >Rigwyn Setson dropped a Broad Sword.
(06:18:25) >Rigwyn Setson dropped a Steel Falchion.
(06:18:57) Rigwyn says: Sounds like he needs help.
(06:19:29) Caira bobs her head up and down.
(06:19:46) Rigwyn says: Quick, lets help him..
(06:19:59) Caira manages, "Go help him."
(06:20:19) Rigwyn runs down the hall to look for Samcat

Samcat is at the bottom of the stairway in the sewers in between some loose boards.

(06:21:03) Rigwyn says: "Are you ok Menki ? Honestly, I had no intention of harming you"
(06:21:42) Samcat claws the board pinning him down as Rigwyn approaches 'I.. i think me leg is broken' hewhimpers
(06:22:45) Rigwyn kneels down looking at the boards. "Hold the sides, I looks like if i pull up this one board you'll be able to get free"
(06:23:04) >Rigwyn Setson takes a seat.
(06:23:36) Rigwyn pulls hard on one of the boards giving Samcat some more room to manuver "Can you crawl out ?"
(06:24:28) Samcat seems hesitant as Rigwyn leans in 'C-can you show your face? that hood of yours scares me' he cringes
(06:25:09) Rigwyn shakes his head allowing his hood to fall back exposing his Diaboli face and long dreadlocks"
(06:25:21) Samcat gives Shangshi a pleading look as he tries to cower back from Rigwyn
(06:25:26) Rigwyn says: Come on out of there if you can.
(06:25:42) Rigwyn says: Im not the man that you think I am.
(06:26:22) Shangshi smils a little at Samcat "If you can work your self free, Ill help you back up into Hydlaa."
(06:26:41) Samcat smiles weakly as Rigwyn exposes his face, he offers him his hand 'Pull' he says with a low tone of voice
(06:27:08) Rigwyn holds on to one board and offers his right hand.
(06:28:08) Samcat grabs Rigwyns hand, he grits his teeth as he is dragged free. cursing loudly 'My leg.. By Xiosia my leg'
(06:28:19) >Samcat Silka takes a seat.
(06:29:34) Samcat fidgets his left ear, the bleeding seems to have stopped yet the tip is missing, he gives Rigwyn a insecure look
(06:29:42) Rigwyn lets go of the board allowing it to snap back down. Looking at Samcat 's leg he makes a sorrowful expression "I cannot do anything to fix this with what little magic skill I have. We need to get you to the Sanitorium"
(06:30:24) Rigwyn says: As for the tip of your ear, perhaps if we go back and find it a little Life infusion might work.
(06:30:33) Shangshi starts to speak, but smirks instead "Just what i was going to say, do you think with out help you could stand."
(06:31:00) Samcat seems somewhat convinced taht Rigwyn acctually wants to help him 'Thank you Tabei.. I'm so sorry i was wrong.. So very wrong'
(06:31:28) Rigwyn says: "Its ok brother. Things are not always as they appear"
(06:31:47) Rigwyn says: "Now lets get you to a healer eh ?"
(06:32:12) Samcat nods, supporting himself against Rigwyn as he manages to get to his feet
(06:32:16) >Samcat Silka stands up.
(06:32:16) Rigwyn shouts: "Caira, can you heal ? "
(06:32:48) Samcat limps on his right leg, lookign around for something to use as a crutch
(06:33:07) Rigwyn stands offering himself as a support "Lean on me brother. I would carry you if you would let me"
(06:33:15) >Rigwyn Setson stands up.
(06:33:32) Shangshi looks up that ladder, "Ill go see if Caira can help."
(06:33:57) Rigwyn turns noticing Shangshi "Ok, tell her the leg looks broken"
(06:34:30) Samcat nods slightly as tears of gratefulness begin to flow down his furry cheeks as he gestures for Rigwyn to carry him
(06:35:07) Samcat grits his teeth due to the pain in his leg
(06:35:07) Rigwyn places an arm on Samcat;s back and on under his legs attempting to scoop him up.
(06:35:53) Samcat is easily lifted from the ground as Rigwyn picks him up, he burrows his face in his chest as he breathes heavily
(06:36:37) Rigwyn carries Samcat to the ladder and begins to climb without the aide of the rails. The old wooden steps creak and groan. "

Rigwyn then carries Samcat back to where his ear was cut previously.

(06:37:21) Rigwyn proceeds thought the sewer carrying Samcat
(06:37:23) Samcat seems somewhat frightened due to the Creaking ladder, yet he remains calm
(06:37:31) Shangshi scratches the side of the back of his head and nods back the way he came "A menki fell off the ladder just down here, manged to break his leg, if you could have a look at that in a minute."
(06:38:05) Mellas frowns at Shangshi words as she tries to help Caira. A look of hurt flashes through her features and she gets up to offer Caira a hand. 'Very well.'
(06:38:09) >Mellas Fenixxes stands up.
(06:38:11) Samcat groans in agony as he reaches for his leg, resting in Rigwyns arms
(06:38:15) Rigwyn steps forward holding Samcat and notices Mellas. "Can you heal a broken leg Mellas ? '
(06:39:36) Caira reaches out for Mellas's hand, her fingers grasping for thin air. She makes a fustrated noise, her light blue eyes narrowing. "Stop moving it, Melly."
(06:39:37) Mellas waits until Caira had accepted her hand to get up before she turns to look at Rigwyn. 'I can re-connect the bone and muscles, but I cannot assure it'll hold.'
(06:40:22) Samcat looks around the small crowd, burrowing his face in Rigwyns chest once again
(06:40:35) Mellas grasps Caira's hand as she reaches out instead. 'Come on girl.'
(06:40:50) Rigwyn lays Samcat down on the cleanest looking spot he can find.
(06:41:09) >Samcat Silka takes a seat.
(06:41:12) Caira's forehead furrows slightly in dismay as she is levered up, her knees almost buckling beneath her.
(06:41:13) >Caira Monteverte stands up.
(06:41:42) Samcat leans into the wall, clawing his broken leg in sheer frustration.
(06:42:24) Caira murmurs, "Bandages. Can you get banadages?"
(06:42:51) Rigwyn says: "Would it be better to bring him to the Sanitorium to be seen by a more skilled healer ?"
(06:42:53) Caira tries to focus on Mellas, attempting to hide her dis-orientation.
(06:43:12) Mellas ears twitch when she hears a strange noise. 'Is that..' she looks around the corner after she handed Caira some bandages from her backpack. 'Please excuse me!'
(06:44:45) Caira grasps the bandages tightly in one hand, the other curled into a fist.
(06:44:52) Samcat twists and turns in pain, he looks to caria with a sad face 'I'm so sorry tabei..'
(06:45:06) Shangshi watches as Mellas walk down the tunnel "We should get him to the Sanitorium, probably the best place.2
(06:45:53) Rigwyn nods and reaches down to lift Samcat once more "Can someone please get the tip of his ear ? Its around here somewhere"
(06:45:57) Caira shakes her head slowly, blinking the blind spots from the vision again. "He needs some bandages, at leats to keep the leg in place. If it snaps further, he might-" She pauses, trying to think of the word.
(06:46:25) Caira makes a fustrated noise. "He migh-. He might lose it."
(06:47:14) Caira shakes her head again, this time to caution herself.
(06:48:48) Shangshi looks about on the floor, frowning as he picks up the piece of ear saying as he does "It might be an idea to brace the leg first."
(06:50:44) Caira goes to take a step forward, but sways instead. She steadies herself against the wall with one arm, before straightening up. "Is there anything we can use? To make a brace?"
(06:51:29) Rigwyn says: Could use my robe I suppose.
(06:51:39) Shangshi smiles at Caira "You still seem a bit dazed." and smirks a little "Guess i was right."
(06:51:49) Caira rests her head against the cool stone of the walls, her back to Shangshi as she closes her eyes for a few moments. "Mm, you can celebrate later."
(06:52:10) Caira's eyes flutter open, in Rigwyn's direction. "Please, could I borrow it?"
(06:52:17) Rigwyn removes his robe listening to the conversation "Dazed ?"
(06:52:25) Rigwyn hands his cloak to Caira
(06:53:16) Caira graps for the air, before grasping again and catching hold of the material. She looks over Rigwyn, almost gasping at the likeness.
(06:53:59) Shangshi says: Sorry, i didnt mean it like that caira. Just that you might like some help getting out of here.
(06:54:08) Rigwyn's face drops with a sad expression "Its a curse. This Diaboli looks like me in every way"
(06:55:03) Caira murmurs, "Im fine. We need to get something for his leg. If we dont secure it, it might-"
(06:55:29) Rigwyn says: Do you suppose he would have brought our Menki friend back ? I think not given what I've heard of him.
(06:55:50) Caira cuts off again, seemingly tackling the problem again. "Might-. Urgh. He might have to lose it. Is there anything we can use? To mkae a brace?"
(06:57:02) Samcat claws his leg due to the pain, he reacts badly as Caria says that his leg might have to come of 'No, no never!' he says with a lump in his throat
(06:57:18) Shangshi places a hand on Caira and looks down at the robe "We were going to use that."
(06:57:49) Caira looks down to the robe, her eyes widening in unadultered surprise. "Oh. Right."
(06:58:02) Rigwyn looks at shangshi curiously and then at Caira "Feelin ok ? "
(06:58:17) Caira raises the cloak to her chest, almost hugging it to her. "Mm, I'm fine. We shouldn't move him. His leg might-"
(06:58:33) Shangshi looks carfully at Caira "I think ill stay next to you, your not ok."
(06:58:59) Caira looks between the two. "What's wrong?"
(06:59:49) Samcat looks around for the chopped off tip of his ear in a attempt to distract himself from the pain
(06:59:52) Caira nods to Samcat. "We need to make a brace for him. Is there anything we can use ...?"
(07:00:01) Rigwyn says: perhaps I should just carry him to the Sanitorium .. we got this far without a problem
(07:00:53) Samcat nods slightly at Rigwyns idea
(07:01:31) Rigwyn steps forward and attempts to lift Samcat once more
(07:01:57) Samcat is easily liften from the ground as he grits his teeth in agony
(07:01:59) >Samcat Silka stands up.
(07:02:49) Rigwyn looks at Shangshi and then begins to walk towards the exit.
(07:03:12) Shangshi says: Hang on...
(07:03:42) Shangshi walks over and gives Samcat the top of his ear "Here, I think this is yours."
(07:04:27) Samcat growls slightly as he grasps the top of his ear with his paw 'Kind thanks Tabei' he murmurs before closing his eyes
(07:05:29) Rigwyn turns and resumes heading for the exit "So Menki... What do people call you ? Whats your name ?"
(07:07:22) Samcat murmurs softly 'My friends call me Sam Tabei.. Sam Silka' he looks to Rigwyn as if questioning what his name is with a gesture
(07:08:29) Rigwyn says: "My friends call me Saldorsen. Lets make haste. The leg needs treatment"
(07:11:18) Samcat breather heavily, the pain seeming to get worse

[ If its not obvious Rigwyn's reason for being friendly towards Samcat was an attempt to convince him of his innocence. Whether or not it works is another story.  ]

Re: [RP] The Guilt Of Jacula
« Reply #55 on: November 22, 2009, 07:03:16 pm »
After being carried to the sanatorium by Rigwyn Samcat slept late into the day, dreams of better times kept the pain away, at least for a while. Upon awakening the pain reminded itself however, he prayed to Xiosia to save him from his state of agony. Through a routine visit by doctor Forita it would seem that his prayers where answered.

(19:45:02) Samcat grabs a handful of the beds covering in sheer agony  'My leg.. Oh Xiosia my leg..' he rambles repeatedly
(19:45:05) >Lesiros Forita greets Samcat Silka.
(19:45:32) Lesiros says: So much pain? ... Oh, yes ... this leg doesn't look well.
(19:45:50) Lesiros says: Doctor Forita at your service...
(19:46:11) Lesiros says: This has to be straightened before healing.
(19:46:15) Samcat looks up at Lesiros with a pleading grimace 'Xiosia help me..' he repeats.
(19:46:27) Lesiros says: Yes, yes, we will hurry...
(19:46:46) Lesiros says: Here, Sir, take a little sniff and tell me how that smells to you.
(19:46:50) Elady says: Greeting Dr Lesiros can I be of help some how?
(19:47:15) >Lesiros Forita salutes Elady Wanz with respect.
(19:47:28) Lesiros says: Greetings, mylady - indeed - a broken leg, it seems.
(19:47:47) Samcat looks a bit hesitant, twisting over in the bed as he grits his teeth.
(19:48:10) Lesiros says: Just inhale a little bit.
(19:48:15) Elady frowns " A nasty injury."
(19:48:46) Samcat leans forward and inhales, he coughs wildly at the smell as he lays back in the bed.
(19:49:06) Lesiros quickly takes the bottle before the content runs out, and corks it.
(19:49:23) Lesiros says: He should now be absent for a little while.
(19:49:26) Lesiros says: Let's hurry, my lady.
(19:49:37) Elady nods " A blessing for him."
(19:49:38) Lesiros says: The leg has to be straightened.
(19:49:53) Elady says: Just tell me what you want me to do to help.
(19:49:56) Samcat tilts his head towards Elady before his eyes slowly roll back into his skull.
(19:50:28) Lesiros says: You will pull it carefully while I will get it splinted and bandaged.
(19:50:54) Samcat lets go of the beds covers as he seems to have fallen unconscious due to the sedative.
(19:51:12) Elady gives a serious nod to Dr Lesiros. then moves to straighten the leg and hold it in position.
(19:51:14) Lesiros takes a few wooden sticks and a cloth out of his backpack.
(19:51:39) Elady gently pulls the leg straight.
(19:52:04) Lesiros says: Yes - watch the toes - a little to the outside, and upwards.
(19:52:16) Samcat twitches violently as his leg is pulled straight 'Xiosia!' he exclaims with a shout.
(19:52:28) Lesiros pulls the cloth under the leg and puts two sticks next to the leg.
(19:52:50) Lesiros says: Ah, I should have made a fresh potion, it is already a few days old...
(19:53:18) Lesiros adds a third stick on top of the leg and starts wrapping it.
(19:53:21) Samcat seems to slumber due to the sedative.
(19:53:39) Elady moves the leg as directed by the doctor.
(19:54:00) Lesiros says: Stop - perfect. Now I'll wrap it tightly.
(19:54:22) Elady holds the leg in the position .
(19:54:46) Lesiros finishes wrapping and slices the cloth to make a knot.
(19:55:23) Lesiros says: So, that should keep it straight...
(19:55:40) Lesiros says: Now let's concentrate on his bone and start the healing. Will you help me?
(19:55:57) Elady nods " Yes that should do nicely as long as he is careful moving about."
(19:56:16) Elady nods " Of course anything I can do to help."
(19:56:23) Lesiros says: Now that the bone is straight, let's start with Life Infusions.
(19:57:00) Lesiros says: Fine, fine...
(19:57:37) Lesiros says: When he wakes up, he should be able to feel if everything went well.
(19:58:06) Lesiros says: And ... I guess he will thank Xiosia.
(19:58:13) Lesiros smiles at Elady
(19:58:42) Elady smiles at Dr Lesiros " And he should thank your skills also Doctor."
(19:59:12) Lesiros says: No issue...
(19:59:37) Lesiros says: He is just lucky that no one tried to heal the leg without splinting it first.
(20:00:46) Samcat slowly opens his eyes and looks up at Elady 'w-what happened?' he stutters
(20:01:29) Lesiros says: Slowly, Sir ... you are still dizzy, I guess.
(20:01:33) Samcat still seems a little slow due to the sedative as he slowly lets his gaze wander the tent.
(20:01:56) Elady says: The Doctor splinted your leg and then we used magic to help start the healing of your broken bone.
(20:02:33) Lesiros says: Wait a few more hours before trying to walk.
(20:02:40) Samcat puts his hand to his heart as he peacefully closes his eyes 'Xiosia bless you Tabei' he says softly
(20:03:38) >Lesiros Forita salutes Samcat Silka with respect.
(20:03:41) Elady says: You are most welcome sir.
(20:03:56) Lesiros says: You'r welcome... - How did that happen?
(20:04:01) Samcat tries to sit up instinctively slouching forward as he does.
(20:04:17) Lesiros says: Careful.
(20:05:24) Samcat growls slightly at the question as he suddenly hides his face in his paws 'I...i don't.. it's a long story' he murmurs hoping they wont question him further.
(20:06:14) Lesiros says: Ah, well ... I guess you learned to avoid the same situation next time...
(20:06:21) Lesiros smiles at Samcat
(20:06:59) Samcat burst into tears, crying his into his paws due to the memory 'Yes..Thank you tabei'
(20:08:09) Lesiros says: Best regards from the Royal House of Purrty... please excuse me now. Good luck!
(20:08:16) >Lesiros Forita greets Samcat Silka.
(20:08:16) Lesiros waves goodbye.
(20:08:21) >Lesiros Forita greets Elady Wanz.
(20:08:22) Lesiros waves goodbye.
(20:08:50) Samcat leans back into the bed again, tears flowing freely down his furry cheeks.
(20:09:51) Elady says: Just be careful on that leg for a while. It will need some additional time to fully heal.
(20:10:32) Samcat nods as he suddenly exclaims 'So much evil in this city.. So much evil'
(20:11:48) Elady says: How did you get injured if I may ask?
(20:13:35) Samcat looks around the tent as he looks up at Elady 'What's your name tabei? he answers her question with a insecure 'I.. I not sure if it would be good for me to say'
(20:14:18) Elady raises her hand to her chest. " My name is Elady, a member of the Daughters of Xiosia."
(20:15:24) Samcat smiles weakly in his misery 'I'm Sam.. Sam Silka, and i serve the godly mother too'
(20:17:14) Samcat seems somewhat more willing to tell Elady about what happened as she mentions Xiosia 'Thank you again Tabei, I will remember this kind generosity'

Samcat tells of what he saw, the content of his story somewhat altered due to the sedative given to him by the doctor. After a brief conversation Samcat is recommended by Elady to rest. He drifts of into a peaceful sleep as soon as his head hits the pillow and sleeps late into the next day. He remains in the bed upon awakening, wondering when he will be able to walk again.

(23:25:40) Samcat seems to be sleeping peacefully
(23:25:54) Mogweh walks into the tent and glances around, he looks a little puzzled for a moment then his eyes finally alight on the Menki lying in a bed in front of him.
(23:26:44) Mogweh says to Mellas,'I wonder where the cold hearted swine is Mel. Still alive I hope'
(23:26:45) Mellas tiptoes a bit closer to the sleeping menki, checking out whether his leg is healing well. She nods quietly to Mogweh before whispering: 'He's asleep.'
(23:27:14) Samcat slowly opens one of his eyes due to the noise, his leg seems to be heavily bandaged and supported by a wood structure, he gives the two a surprised look 'Tabei?'
(23:28:06) Mellas's eyes widen at Mogweh's choice of words. She makes a shushing gesture with her hands, then jumps back when Samcat seems to have woken. 'Amai! I'm sorry if I woke you,' she stutters.
(23:28:12) Mogweh looks at the leg and draws in a breath,'nasty.' he says before looking up at Samcat and smiling,'Oh Grrensolo tabei'
(23:29:17) Mogweh glances at Mel and mouths,'Sorry'
(23:30:27) Samcat makes a said grimace as Mogweh comments about his leg 'Grrensolo tabei, what can i do for you?' he says softly
(23:30:42) Mellas glances back at Mogweh and shakes her head. 'It's okay,' before she turns to Samcat. 'Greetings sir, my name is Mellas, Mellas Fenixxes. How are you feeling?'
(23:31:33) Mogweh clears his throat a little before speaking softly 'I'm Mogweh Parduu. We were looking for the Mage Alirukell, is he here?'
(23:31:56) Samcat seems somewhat sleepy, ignoring Mogwehs question.
(23:33:02) Mogweh chuckles to Mellas,'I think we better let this Menki get his rest, he looks done in'
(23:33:04) Samcat groans at the question about his leg 'By Xiosia.. i am in agony' he gestures towards his leg in a sweeping motion 'I've witnessed the most horrific things.' he says in a low tone of voice.
(23:34:10) Mogweh's eyes widen as Samcat moans, clearly in physical pain and suffering mental anguish. He says to Mellas,'anything you can do you help him Mel?'
(23:35:25) Mellas steps forward again, placing a light hand on the bandaged leg. 'I can try to soothe,' she whispers, before beginning to create a connection with the light energy of the crystal, channeling its healing powers towards the menki's leg. The spells flow easily from her lips, having gotten used to casting them daily.
(23:35:48) Samcat hides his face in his paws, silently crying due to the things he saw 'Xiosia save that poor man' he murmurs
(23:36:33) Mogweh looks over and says gently,'easy there, first things first, let Mell do her stuff.' and he gives the Menki a wink
(23:37:11) Samcat smiles weakly at Mogweh, shooting him a hesitant nod.
(23:38:32) Mogweh watches Mellas intently trying to learn from her as she performs a magic way beyond his own
(23:38:34) Mellas's blonde hair falls over her shoulders when she leans forward to study the wound. 'Does that feel a bit better?' she asks hopefully.
(23:40:41) Samcat nods weakly at Mellas, yet he seems ravished by sadness 'Thank you most kindly tabei..' he whispers
(23:42:03) Samcat suddenly grabs a handful of the beds covering ripping it to shreds is a sudden outbreak of frustration 'Xiosia give me strength' he exclaims loudly
(23:42:33) Mogweh grins,'You're feeling better now though eh? What happened to you, if you don't mind me asking?'
(23:43:01) Mellas raises her hands protectively as she steps back, the crystal connection broken. 'W-what happened to you, sir?' she asks hesitantly. 'What did you see?'
(23:43:55) Mogweh looks samcat up and down a little while he waits for a response but has little to work with.
(23:45:59) Samcat looks up at the two with sad sultry eyes 'There was this man.. They beat him so dreadfully.. I followed them until they went down into the sewers.. I was too scared to follow them alone' he rambles with visible pain in his eyes, his story nt making much sense.
(23:46:59) Mogweh replies glancing at Mellas cautiously,'What man, who dragged him'
(23:47:37) Mellas swallows, a dreaded feeling growing inside of her. 'Yes,' she says quietly, 'who was it? And why?'
(23:48:34) Mogweh moves closer to Mellas reading her thoughts and feeling the same feeling of dread.
(23:49:40) Samcat turns to his side, sobbing quietly not saying a word. Obviously traumatized by the incident.
(23:51:59) Samcat wipes his tears only to have his cheeks soaked yet again 'I couldn't help him.. Oh Xiosia save him' he sobs quietly
(23:52:17) Mogweh waits silently. He gives Mellas a look and then shrugs.
(23:53:13) Mogweh shuffles his feet and finally says,'erm look tabai, why don't you start at the beginning, I find that helps, and tell us what happened..'
(23:53:40) Mellas glances at Mogweh, a certain feeling of helplessness going through her. Yet, she moves forward to soothe the upset menki. 'It's okay, what happened wasn't your fault,' she says softly. 'Here..' She takes a water pouch from her backpack and offers it to Samcat. 'It helps to drink some cool water.'
(23:55:39) Samcat drinks from the pouch greedily as he smiles weakly at Mellas in appreciation 'Thank you yet again Tabei.. I will tell you what happened, i need to find out.. It haunts me day and night. My prayers have gone unanswered'
(23:56:40) Mogweh pulls out a small flask and raises it,'I find Red Liquor also helps, more so these days actually' his eyes cloud over a little as he utters the last words, then returning to Samcat he says,'Cheers''
(23:57:20) Mogweh sips the flask and offers it round with a smile.
(23:57:59) Samcat grabs the flask almost ripping i out of Mogwehs hands as he drinks eagerly.
(23:58:17) Mellas flashes Mogweh a thankful smile but refuses the flask. 'Nay, I'd prefer to keep a clear head, if you don't mind.'
(23:58:44) Mellas looks over at Samcat. 'Besides, looks like he could use it more.'
(23:59:08) Mogweh chuckles and says,'Well there's plenty more where that came from, drink up' and looks in hes backpack
(00:00:10) Mogweh pulls out a largish parcel wrapped in cloth.
(00:00:43) Samcat begins to speak in a stuttering manner as he takes another big sip from the flask 'There was two men.. One of them was ylian, a heavy set man with a grizzled appearance. The other was dressed in a white cloak with a strange figurine hanging around his neck.. The man they where beating was a ynnwn..' he stops to take another sip of the flask.
(00:02:12) Mellas switches back to a more uneasy mood, keeping her hands clasped together as she listens to Samcat's story. Her face pales at the mention of an ynnwn being beaten by a man in a white cloak. 'Was this ynnwn carrying many tattoos over his body?' she asks softly, hesitantly.
(00:04:19) Samcat seems to struggle to remember 'He had strange tattoos on his face.. Very tall. He did not utter a plea for mercy even under the brutal beating' he seems to be concentrating in a brief prayer as he stops 'Xiosia bless..' he whispers
(00:04:35) Mogweh begins unwrapping the cloth speaking as he does,'The man in white, was he a diaboli with dreadlocks'. Seeing Mellas' agitation he puts out a paw to her shoulder to comfort her.
(00:06:11) Samcat hides his face in his paws again, shaking his head.
(00:07:05) Mogweh continues,'I heard about a diaboli with dreadlocks posing as a priest or some nonscence - calling himself the "nameless one". He attacked poor Garosan, a friend of a Elady's'
(00:09:46) Mellas's fash turns unusually white, and she stumbles backwards unto the bed parallel to Samcat. 'No..' she whispers, her hazel eyes wide. 'No..' She lifts her knees up to her chest and lowers her head until her hair hides her expression from sight. 'Tell me that's not true.. what did they do to him?' Her voice appears broken, the dreadful feeling in her stomach becoming confirmed.
(00:09:53) >Mellas Fenixxes takes a seat by Medium Bed.
(00:13:16) Mogweh takes the bottle out of the clost wrapping and takes out the cork. The look on Samcats face confirming their fears he takes a long pull on the contents of the bottle. Smacking his lips and saying 'ahh uncle Braduusc's old particular, can't beat it' Then seeing Mellas recoil he put the bottle down on the table and walks over to comfort her saying,'Hey, come on now, he's a tough one..we'll get him out, if it's him, don't you worry'
(00:15:24) Samcat seems even more traumatized due to the depressing tension in the tent 'They where beating him.. With hammers' he stutters 'They dragged his lifeless body away.. Into the darkness'
(00:16:28) Mogweh looks over from Mellas and says,'Our..'friend' had very visible tattoos.'
(00:17:08) Mellas keeps her head down, closing her eyes tightly to keep the tears from falling. 'H-he said, to forget h-him, if he would never...' Sobs begin to wrack her body when Samcat continues. 'No...no.... tell me you're lying, this is all a nightmare!'
(00:17:53) Samcat reacts to Mogwehs emphasis on the word 'friend' he looks up to the menki with deplorable eyes 'He.. He was your friend?'
(00:18:14) Shangshi taps on one of the tent uprights as he enters "I'm not disturbing anything am I?"
(00:18:18) Mogweh sits down and put his arm round Mellas and looks over at Samcat,'nodding simply'
(00:18:42) Shangshi looks to all three present, smiling to each in turn.
(00:18:49) >Mogweh Parduu takes a seat.
(00:19:27) Mogweh looks over at Shangshi, the theater of the tent being disturbed.
(00:20:13) Samcat breaks into tears yet again as he watches Mellas 'It's true.. I saw it with my own eyes..' he sobs loudly 'Oh Xiosia it's true!'
(00:21:17) Mellas gives in and starts crying freely as she leans against Mogweh, all the exhaustion the latest events coming to together. 'Nay, it's not true... please... don't let it be true..' she whispers, muffled.
(00:21:18) Mogweh says to Shangshi attempting badly to cover up the obvious drama in the tent,'Shangshi, good to see you, what are you doing here? Did you find your yer friend?'
(00:21:53) Shangshi steps to the end of the bed Mellas isn't on, and then looking round questioningly "Is this a recount of what ended with samcat here?" and then looks to Samcat "Has your leg been seen too yet?"
(00:22:48) Mogweh nods and begins to reach across to the bottle on the table but then stops thinking better of it.
(00:23:08) Samcat looks up at Shangshi with widen tear filled eyes. 'y-yes.. doctor Forita and Elady helped me.. The fixed it' he stutters as he makes a sweeping gesture towards his heavily bandaged leg.
(00:23:34) Shangshi looks between Mellas and Mogweh scratching his neck "Well, to be honest i have looked for him at all. Thought it would be better he found me if he really wanted to."
(00:24:10) Shangshi smiles down at Samcat "Good, i'm glad to hear it."
(00:24:49) Mogweh thumbs Mellas,'and Mellas of course' giving the distraught Nolthrir a tiny squeeze'
(00:25:33) Samcat turns to Mellas with sorrow filled eyes 'I am so sorry.. d-did you know him?' he asks quietly
(00:25:48) Mellas shivers when she hears Shangshi's voice, trying to pull herself together as she looks up at the elf. 'You!' she exclaims. 'I was looking for you, but you were n-nowhere to be found!'
(00:26:58) Deedro crawls in and climbs by Mellas "Mellwee!"
(00:27:07) Mogweh looks over at Deedro and motions him to Mellas' side
(00:27:21) >Deedro Eref takes a seat.
(00:28:07) Samcat closes his eyes, trying to escape the chaos in the tent.

A speculation as well as a long discussion follows, Samcat attempts to remember every detail of the horrid event as the others fill him in about the man who was taken, all of the people present seeming to have met him.

(00:45:16) Samcat moves over a little, slouching forward on the bed 'He was red skinned.. Tall. He has strange tattoos on his face.. Do you recognize him? he asks weakly
(00:45:52) Mogweh says,'Jacula!'
(00:47:06) Samcat does not seem to recognize the name 'Jacula?'.. i just pray that he is alright' he says with a sad expression
(00:49:07) Shangshi frowns "Jacula?" and looks to Mellas "Im sorry to hear that."
(00:49:38) Mellas places her hands over her face, trying to hide the tears. 'W-we are engaged,' she manages to say through her sobs. 'I haven't seen him for so l-long.. I tried to find him... I..'
(00:51:35) Samcat is on the brink of tears yet again as Mellas sorrow affects him 'Who on Yliakum would do this to him and why?'
(00:51:56) Mogweh looks over at samcat and asks,'So you saw the abduction, did you try and warn him or do anything? Is that how you hurt your leg?'
(00:54:59) Shangshi looks between Mogweh and Samcat saying nothing to answer him.
(00:55:04) Mellas hugs her legs close to her chest again, ignoring those around her when her thoughts begin to clear. Her expression is still one of intense sadness, but a signal of hope begins to bloom in her eyes. 'He-he wasn't killed, w-was he? Where did they take him?'
(00:55:55) Samcat looks over at Mogweh as he whimpers 'i followed them to the sewer entrance' he carefully places a hand on his leg 'I saw a man with a white cloak.. I got scared, he followed me into the sewer i tried to hit him with my club... I fell' he carefully removes a tear with one of his claws 'I don't know.. I was to scared to follow' he whimpers
(00:56:51) Joale glances into the Sanatorium and walks off
(00:57:09) Samcat seems confused, mixing up his own story due to the painful memory
(00:58:43) Mogweh nods and his voice takes on a cold impatient aire at samcats vagueness,'and the man in the white cloak, I've heard of someone like this described before as I said earlier. Was he a diaboli and did he have dreadlocks?'
(00:59:01) Shangshi run his finger along the pole in front of him and mutters 'hit Caira instead.' and then looks up at Mogweh.
(01:00:24) >Mellas Fenixxes stands up.
(01:00:28) Mellas suddenly pushes her way up and off the bed. Without saying a word she walks off, hands clenched into fists.
(01:01:28) Shangshi watches Mellas "Should someone follow her?"
(01:01:34) Shangshi says: Make sure shes ok?
(01:02:06) Mogweh gets up and says,'I'll go. and runs after her
(01:02:09) >Mogweh Parduu stands up.
(01:02:12) Samcat nods at Mogweh 'he had dreadlocks.. Diaboli.. i need to rest' he says with a low tone of voice
(01:02:38) Shangshi takes a seat opposite Samcat.
(01:03:08) Samcat closes his eyes as he lays back, exhuasted by all the questions
(01:05:31) Samcat prays silently to himself 'By root and stem thy will be done.. Bless me joyfull mother for i am threading on the branches of pain'
(01:06:11) Shangshi looks about the tent "The questions might be a bit much, but people care about Jacula...." and trails off as Samcat prays
(01:07:34) Samcat watches Shangshi idly from the corner of his eye 'He must be a great man' he whispers
(01:10:34) Shangshi says: I cant say I know him very well, I know his fiancee better, she loves him.
(01:11:36) Samcat looks into the fabric ceiling 'Must be horrible.. to lose ones love like that, I pray i never share the same fate Tabei'
(01:12:35) Samcat turns to Shangshi again 'I must find this Jacula when i am strong enough.. I wan't to help him' he whispers
(01:13:28) Shangshi nods "There are many that will be willing to help him. You should make sure you leg heals heals."
(01:14:54) Samcat turns his face into the pillow as he murmurs 'He must be a good man.. For peole to care so much, there is goodness in this rotten city afterall'
(01:17:28) Samcat sowly drifts off in a soothing sleep.
(01:18:21) Shangshi stands up seeing Samcat begins sleeping and silently leaves the tent.

((I'm glad i got involved in this event, love the storyline  :sorcerer: can't wait for it to unfold!))

Re: [RP] The Guilt Of Jacula
« Reply #56 on: November 22, 2009, 11:49:24 pm »
[This was one of the things that happened after Jacula's disappearance. An inbetween view on how Melly's character deals with Jacula's last message, as well as a reminder of Jacula's past. Please note that the lovely image below is a photomanip made by Jac, with a few touches from me. The original drawings were found on google, so kudos goes to the original artist. The text in italic was taken from a short moment between Jacula and Mellas in the secret garden.]




"Somebody is hunting me.. i can feel it. I need you to stay away from me my love... and if i were to disappear.. Please, forget and move on...'

The crystal passed its daily cycle once again, new light greeting the earliest citizens of Hydlaa as they busy themselves with early activities. Upon the edge by the tavern, where one has the best view over the city, rests a blonde nolthrir against the stone wall.

His last words continue to repeat themselves through her head. The last time he held her hand, squeezing it gently. The last time they kissed, tears flowing from their eyes. The last time she saw him, turning as he left secret garden...

Mellas touches her lips while she watches him go, stunned with sadness, and fearing for her love's life.

She didn't see Jacula again since.

Nights had never been colder than they were now. Even the light of day couldn't offer her much warmth nor comfort. The uneasy feeling, the helplessness and inability to help him  unnerved her more than she would admit.

'You must understand, I can't let anything happen to you.
I have settle this, myself. The one way it will stop.'


Words of mystery were spoken, leaving her confused and afraid. Elady's suspicion of Jacula's connection with the Black Flame had reached her ears only shortly after. Mogweh, Merivo, Dasij... the story of one pointing fingers at the other. Who could really be trusted? Did she have a choice?

Mellas' eyes flutter open when the crystal begins to shine brighter. A new day, another chance. Stretching out lazily she searches for the chainmail in her backpack. The sewers are calling, and errands are waiting to be finished. Ever since she heard about the Black Flame, she had gone on a quest to discover the truth. The figures in the dirty, stinking area below Hydlaa however, refused to share any helpful information. In an attempt to learn more she accepted their tasks, finishing them one by one. No matter how strange they would be. No matter how it broke her heart time and time again. Would Relliom see right through her? Could she do what was required to learn about this darkness? And above all, did she really *want* to?
 
With a deep sigh, Mellas steps down into the stinking hole that leads to the sewers. 'Hopefully Serana would be willing to tell me a little more now that I've got her book...' she mumbles to herself, patting the sack hanging from her side. Rats are scurrying around her, sniffing and searching for something edible to nibble on as she passes tunnel after tunnel, stairs after stairs. It doesn't take long before Mellas catches sight of the beautiful Ylian, the purple cloak standing out against the brownish, dirty color of the sewers. Carefully, she approaches, the book of Laanx in hand.
'Greetings Serana, I got what you asked for.'
'Excellent.' The ylian's eyes flicker with a cold intensity. 'I'm almost happy that you are not... part of the ritual.' A couple of coins are given to the nolthrir as a reward, but with a shake of her head, Mellas hands them back.
'This wasn't our deal, I'm not looking for tria.'
Serana flashes the nolthrir a smile, but it doesn't reach her eyes. 'Of course, here.' She grabs the coins back and pushes an old map in Mellas' light azure hands instead. 'Now, off with you.'
The cold words are accentuated by a loud thumb of her wooden staff against the floor. Taking heed of the ylian's words Mellas hurries away, searching for the mysterious spot indicated on the map she received.

'Everything.. Will be clear to you my love, every question answered'

The darkness around Mellas is closing in; every tunnel looks the same. Dead, lifeless.
Her careful steps echo loudly through the sewers, the sounds of water splashing against the stairs as she wades her way through. Guided by the map, the nolthrir comes to a halt before the waterwheel next to Gorbiak. The old, creaking device continues to lift the water up, converting the flow of the water into - hopefully - useful forms of power. 'Now what?' she asks herself, checking thrice whether she arrived at the correct spot. 'There's nothing here... is there?'

With ease she climbs up the rotating wheels, balancing herself on top. Her eyes dart around the area, searching for anything unusual, until... 'A book!'
The purple cover floats on the grey/browning liquid underneath, a teasing reminder of Serana's cold, threatening tone. With a light growl Mellas gets up, searching for a way to break the boards and fish for the mysterious book. Yet, it seems like fate had a different idea in mind. In her haste to get down to the other side, she slips backwards off the waterwheel, crashing into the water below.

The water flies around in scattered masses. Fierce waves smashing into the wall, turning the floating book over as it begins to sink. Now she can see its true content... now she can see the answers Serana and all the others had been giving her... Torn pages and a few illegible scribbles. And no way out.

(22:14:26) Mellas splashes in the filthy water, knocking the wood that keeps her down frantically. 'Someone, please! Help!!'
(22:16:41) Mellas coughs, her gills not able to extract enough oxygen from the filth. 'Saes!! please...'

A while later, a small drawing emerges from underneath the book, sliding towards the unconscious nolthrir over the water. An image of a small ynnwn boy, and a purple-cloaked woman standing behind him.

'Don't follow me.. It will be over soon'

A wicked laugh galms through the dark tunnels.

**Shangshi chuckles as he sees one person manipulate another and they manipulate a third while they in turn manipulate the first and two more people manipulate others, and just sits back eating a cookie outside the Fallen Kingdom's goodie goodie bakery and reads a book on how to do needle craft while offering cookies to any that walk past.**
