RPG Icewind M(LVS)

[Akieen Cloud]

Jura felt her heart skip a beat. She just looked at the ring. he closed the box and looked at him.
"If we live through this...I will."
He looked a littel put out, she smiled and wrpped her arms around his neck kissing him deeply, she pulled him close to her pressing her body to his.
"I love you."
she looked at him.
"I wigh it would lighten up so I caould find the others and make sure that they're okay, but now...I duno."
He frowned and looked at her. she smiled and kissed him again, slower this time, but still deeply.
"I'm glad to be with you."
She pulled him to her again pressing her body as close as she could to his through the cloak warpped around her.

[Knuckles]

He lied her back ad untied the robe. He slid in it with her and kissed her deeply.

"I am glad you like it. I will always be by your side. No matter what."

He slid his hands up and down her body. He kissed her lips, then her neck. He bit softly on her shoulder.

"I've always wanted you to be my wife. It would make me the luckiest man ever, alive and dead. I want a...a...family... We will get through this. Together."

He softly kissed her lips again as he slid his hands caressingly along the curves of her body.

[Akieen Cloud]

Jura arched into him moaning lightly.
"IF we get through this, bit I don't want to think of that right now..."
She pulled him to her and kissed him, she bent one knee and ran her hadns down his back, arching against him more feeling his chest against her's. She bit his shoulder gently and ran her hands through his hair, she moved against him more, wanting nothing between them.

[Knuckles]

He sat up and took off his shirt. When his shirt covered his head, she quickly unbuttoned and unzipped his pants. He smiled and took everything off. He got back between her legs and started kissing up her legs. As she moaned, he licked up her thighs. When he reached between her legs, he eat her out. As he moved his tongue faster, she gripped his hair and moaned loudly.

[Akieen Cloud]

She pulled him to her and wraped her legs around him, she pulled him down and arched into him as he enterd her. She moaned and kissed his neck. Her breathing got heavier as he moved, she moaned with him. He was sweating and his arms were strianing as he held him-self up from putting his weight on her. She raked her nails up his back and gripped his shoulders. She put on hand on the back of his head pulling him close.
"I love you."
She rocked into him taking him further, her body now sleek with sweat as well. She felt him tense and begin to move faster, she felt her body tense as well and moaned as both their worlds erupted in white light. She was shivering when she finally cleared her vision, but she wsn't cold, he was trembling as well. She brought him to lay with his head on her chest, below her chin and rested her head ontop of his wrapping her arms around him she covered them withthe cloak and she felt her-self drift into a sound and contented sleep.

[Kayin Cloud]

Hiro looked up the mountain as they started to climb. He looked back to see Daergar following now. He smirked then looked over to Vice who was ahead. "We'll have to be careful on these mountains. Climbing might be the easiest part..." Hiro said looking up his path.

"Why? Because of the monsters?" Daergar asked.

"....These mountains house some powerful creatures...especially thanks to Chimera...." Vice said, looking around. "Stay on your guard."

Hiro pulled out his bow as well as an arrow from his quiver, "I really don't want to run into any mammoths. They say that they trample intruders of their territory on sight...."

"So how do you expect to knock one of those thick-hided monsters down with an arrow? That's like poking a man with a thumbtack..." Daergar said. "Besides...what about the other beasts up here? They're just as dangerous."

"Mammoth...." Hiro said aiming his bow.

"We've been talking about that already you...."

"No mammoth!" Hiro aimed his bow at an incoming mammoth and shot it right between the eyes, causing it to stop its charge. Hiro ran up and heel dropped the arrow in further. The mammoth fell sideways, "That's how I expect to kill a mammoth with an arrow Daergar...."

Vice laughed, "Well...we should probably keep moving. These creatures may end up increasing our time."

"Yeah well we would've avoided these things if we went around," Daergar muttered.

Hiro glanced back, "You know...you're the one who decided to follow us....we didn't make you."

[Sapphire Flare]

Ooc: Wow, a full page of sappiness lol.

[COLOR=DarkRed][FONT=Palatino Linotype]Vice held out an outstretched hand and pulled it back.

"Cover." He whispered.

The snow behind the mammoth quickly circled the mammoth and build an igloo-like statue around it, making it look like nothing but a large mound of snow.

"Just making sure that no one else sees. The mammoths and mountain trolls are pretty stupid but they can tell when one of their own is killed."

Daergar, Hiro, and Vice were now all walking closely together, all rubbing their arms because it had started to get cold. Vice stopped and looked up, shielding the sun from his eyes.

"About another hour till we're at the top, then we can slide down." Daergar grunted.

"Slide?" Vice and Hiro shot Daergar an odd look.

"Oh you're not seriously going to walk all the way down are you?"

"..."

"Well we're sliding, its my turn to make the decision."

Hiro shurgged and Vice just kept walking.

[I]Sliding could be fun.[/I]

Vice and Daergar were tackled by Hiro as he stuffed them all behind a snowbank.

"Wha-" Hiro put his hand over Vice's mouth and pointed to the large troop of trolls that were passing by. They looked up, they couldn't walk up the mountain if they were going to stay here, only a large rocky wall was there, which they would have to climb if they didn't want trouble. Vice pointed up and they all nodded.


They began to inch their way up the mountain clinging onto the edge, the trolls were very close now, maybe twenty yards away, a rock fell. Whether it was Hiro, Daergar or Vice didn't matter because that tiny rock hit another tiny rock on the way down. Thsoe two hit a slightly bigger rock and you could see now that an avalanche was forming. Hiro quickly stuck out his hand and was able to hold up all the rocks. It appeared it took quie an effort, it had to be at least forty pounds of rock being held there. The mountain trolls stopped and turned their heads toward the avalanche being suspended next to the mountain. They all exchanged looks and kept staring at the rocks. Hiro was beginning to slip, one hand holding up the rocks and the other barely hanging onto the cliff. Vice turned to see that Daergar had already pulled back an arrow.

"What are you..." Vice exclaimed but Daergar already shot.

The loud whipping sound was heard as the arrow stuck into a trolls leg.

"Now!" Daergar shouted. Hiro slung his hand forward and in response the rocks flew forward and smashed into the mountain trolls taking most of them out. Vice felt it was time to clean up, he stuck out his hand.

"COVER!"

The snow covered the trolls as it did the mammoth, except this time the trolls were all bunched together so the snow formed a ball around them. Soon after you could see numerous limbs of goblins sticking out of a large snowball that was rolling down the hill, still picking up more and more snow as it rolled.

They all sighed in relief as they jumped to the side so they could walk again.

"We make a pretty good team."[/FONT][/COLOR]

[missrelena]

"Why did I ever think this was a good idea?" Shea'ann muttered to herself. The torches everyone had with them were waterlogged from the rain, so poor Ky was left stumbling in the dark. Being human without dark vision is a drawback in the underdark. Shea'ann had considered using a light spell to brighten their path till she realized that a flagrant use of magic down here would attract a whole mess of baddies that they REALLY didn't want to attract. After about half-an-hour, the cleric took pity enough on the rogue to get past her uncertainties and took his hand as a guide.

Hue still seemed to know which general direction they should be heading in, so they let her lead. Shea'ann was glad that someone had a decent sense of direction, she didn't. Good sence of time, yes, sence of direction, no. She knew the placement of the sun at all times, as all clerics of Lathander did. So, she knew that they day was wearing on, they're been underground for several hours, and she was damp, cold, and in a place that did not take kindly to strangers if they got caught.

"Ahh-choo!" she sniffled. Indignant with the idea of catching a cold, Shea'ann stopped in her tracks. Ky ran into the back of her, but didn't say anything. It took a few paces before Hue realized she was moving on alone.

"What's the matter?" the tiefling asked.

"I don't know about Tieflings, but I [I]do[/I] know that humans and half-elves are not immune to pneumonia. We're cold and wet, and if we don't take the time to stop and change, we're going to slow down even more when I get sick. I'm sorry to be brusque, and I don't mean to offend you but it's the truth."

"So do a heal spell." Hue replied, startled at Shea'ann's slightly irritated tone.

"I would, if I wanted us to then run for our lives after that. We're in the Underdark." Shea'ann whispered intently. "The world under the Dalelands is riddled with drow, duregar and mind-flayer communities. Atracting their attention is not high on my list of things to do."

"Oh." Hue wasn't sure what else to say.

"It's okay." Ky said in a calming voice. "We'll get out of our wet things, go under the mountain as quietly and as unnoticed as possible, and meet back up with Jura and the others. Besides," he gave Shea'ann a jaunty wink knowing she could see it in the dark, "I still owe you a meal."

Hue sighed. She just wanted to get back to the rest of the party as quickly as possible. "Well, if you're going to change out of your wet clothes, you'd better do it. I just hope your packs didn't get soaked through."

"That makes two of us." Shea'ann replied.

"Three of us." Ky chimed in as he tried to rifle through his pack blind.

Just as Shea'ann had stripped off her tunic and shirt, she heard Hue give an urgent whisper. "Someone's coming. Several someones."

"Don't move. Don't breathe if you can manage." Shea'ann whispered back. She used her natural dark elf ability to create a globe of darkness around them. That, at least didn't give off any magical aura, and would shield them from darkvision. Now she was definatly glad Hue had the amazing sense of hearing that she did.

She reached out for her packs with one hand, while reaching for Ky with the other. Her hand met his and together they meticulously inched themselves off the main pathway. Now Shea'ann knew how Ky had felt stumbing in the darkness without being able to see at all. She didn't like it, that was for sure.

They didn't have to wait long. Many voices and sets of shuffling feet went by. They could hear the jangle of chains, and once, a voice was raise to a shout and a whip cracked. Shea'ann had flinched at the noise, but made no sound. They waited for what seemed to be an eternity, but was actually no more than half-an-hour, after the voices had passed before she dropped the true darkness around them and everything went to the half-glow she was used to seeing.

"Hue?" she queried.

"Here. Nearly blue from holding my breath, but still alive. What was all that?"

"Mind-flayer slavers." Ky said cooly. "They're selling Chimera's captives, what few he takes alive. The whip was from the overseer. He was shouting at the slaves to hurry up."

Shea'ann's eyes went wide with amazement. "How do you know all that?"

"I speak undercommon." Ky shrugged. "In my line of work, you never know what might come in handy."

"See." Shea'ann said. "Having a rogue around who knows his business is much preferred to someone who clanks and thinks he has to risk all our necks for his over active sense of honor. Thanks, Ky. I know Jura will want this information. And we just might be alive long enough to tell her about it." Impishly, she gave him a quick kiss on the mouth. He seemed a bit startled, but definately not upset.

"Would you two please finish getting dressed so we [I]can[/I] get back to Jura sometime soon." Hue turned her back to them and waited for them to hurry up.

[PWNED]

OOC: Jesus Christ, Enough of the sex scenes. Your Raunchiness is really, you know, distracting me.

Daergar nodded, It had been a while since he was able to work with someone as team mates and not just as allies. He still had doubts about working alongside each other at a later time. 'Maybe,' Daergar thought 'Just maybe Fate actually bought us three together' Then scoffed in an amused fashion at this, 'Listen to me, I sound like a damn bard.' Then all three began on their trek back to the top when Daergar finally decided to tell them some urgent information. "You do know there are White Dragons in these mountains?" Daergar shouted over the roaring wind and when he saw the face of Hiro whose ears had begun to turn blue and Vice who was beginning to stare around in shock. Daergar turned away so that they could not see his smile and shouted again "So watch out for anything that looks like a lair."


Daergar continued smiling even though he knew it was probably true, The spine of the world was infested with White Dragons but they were fulll of warriors and shared a border with Mithral Hall. He was just glad that there were not moards of Storm or Frost giants that lived here, They were too dangerous to fight with so small a group. As the three brached the top of the mountain they looked out over the cloudy horizon and tryed to pinpoint where exactly the Icewind Inn was. As Daergar bought out the map to check a strong wind wrenched it from his hands and blew it away.
"Shit,Shit,Shit!" Daergar screamed as he watched their only way of finding where they were float off but as he watched it a sparkle caught his eye further down the mountain. Daergar was uncertain at first but when he saw that it glinted like gold he took off down the side of the mountain to where the glint was.

[Jim_Hawking]

Ky was still a wee bit stunned from Shea'ann's sudden advance.

"Well now, that was unexpected. Not minded in the least, but still shocking." He thought.

The three spelunkers continued down their current path. The moment Hue thought she heard something, Shea'ann created another darkness globe and Ky prayed to any deity he could think of that would help protect them. This continued for a couple of hours until Hue saw what looked like the proverbial "Light at the end of the tunnel."

"Oh my various gods, we're dead aren't we? I see that damn white light!" Ky jokingly groaned. Shea'ann responded with a swift fist to the back of the head. ".....ow. I know, I know...really bad joke on my part. Still though, it'll be nice to get the hell out of here..."

Ky was interrupted by something flying down the hole and smacking him in the face.

"Who the hell just tosses a map into a hole? Honestly?!" Ky grumbled.

"Hey...this map looks somewhat familiar."

[Knuckles]

As Cain awoke, he looked at Jura smiling. But as he did he thought how her crew was doing. He decided to do her a favor. He moved to the entrence and sat. He closed his eyes and called upon his powers. He asked the darkness and shadow to look for Jura's crew. He saw where each group was and what they were doing. It showed also everything that they had done. He used his powers to send each of them a messag telling them that if they need help, to just call. For he had friends who would be more than willing to help. He also told them to put away their pride. If they need help, call. When he was finished, he heard Jura wake.

"What are you doing?" She asked him with great interest. As he told her, she began to wonder who his "Friends" were. She decided to ask.

"Do you remember Lloyd Pent?" As she nodded her head, he continued. "Well you also have heard of the White Dragons?" She nodded to that too, with a look that said, "No shit." "Well he became their leader not too long ago. So he would be glad to help. Becides I already sent him a message saying that I've found you and you are ok..."

[Tsukai Doll]

[COLOR=DarkOrchid]Hue reached the source of the light and saw that it was quite small but as she begain to dig at it snow fell away and the hole was now big enough for her to poke her head out and get a look around. She could see the inn from here.

"Hey guys we've made it! I can see the inn its about a mile away from here!" she said turning around so she could get a look at the mountain. As she did she noticed Vice. "HEY!!! VICEEE LOOK DOWN HERE ITS ME HUE!!!" she yelled as vice slipped onto his butt sliding down the mountain. "Well hello there," he said flying past her.
Hue giggled alittle as she climbed her way out of the hole and helped Shea'ann and Ky out.

"I think we found your guys map," he said giving it to Daergar.

"Yah thanks," Daergar snatched the map out of Ky's hand.

"Wow i didnt think we'd ever get out of there alive," Shea'ann said as she brushed the snow off herself.

Hue made her way down to Vice who had slid all the way down the mountain.
"Wahhhh!!" Hue tripped on a branch and tummbled all the way down right on top of Vice. "Oof," There faces where so close to each other that if she moved an inch she could touch his lips. Hue could feel her cheaks turn red. "Oh I...I im sorry....i tripped," she managed to say.

"Umm you can get off me now," Vice said smiling

"Oh yah ..." :animeshy:

Hue got up and gathered herself, brushing off the snow. "I'm glad we ran into you guys, i thought i was never going to see you again....," she said looking at Vice, " I mean you guys" she quickly added. Vice looked at her and she wasnt quite sure what that look men, but she could feel her cheaks get hot.

"Well you two love birds, you can join us any time now we're going to the inn, but if you wanna i dont know stand here and get frozen togather then i guess thats your choice," Ky called to them, the rest of the crew well ahead of them.

"Oh ...no its not like that...." Hue and Vice said in unison. They both looked at each other and quickly looked away. They both made their way back to the group almost to the inn. [/COLOR]

[Akieen Cloud]

Jura gathered her things and walked out of the cave and into the sunlight.
"This is better...Well, let's go."
She climbed up on the horse and helped Cain up.
"We should be there soon, she kicked the horse into a gallop and in no time they were in town at the Inn as everyone filed in, she spotted Hiro and figered he would intoduce him-self later.
"Okay, I'm glad to see everyone alive and well, anything to report, and anyone to introduce?"
She sat in a chair and smiled as everyone sat as well. Ky stood and began his report on the Mind-flayers.

[Knuckles]

Cain stood beside Jura, his face and body covered once again. He looked around at everyone and thought. He thought that what he did to try and help was all for nothing. He sighed and thought, "Oh well..." He continued to surveyed them. Noticing none were hurt. He laughed to himself, silently. It was amuzing to see they all survived.

[missrelena]

"Oh, Cain, thanks for the message. It was definately reassuring to know that there was a search party, of sorts, keeping tabs on us." Shea'ann told the paladin. "Oh, how rude of me. I'm Shea'ann, cleric and cave crawler. I didn't get a chance to introduce myself before all the layers of hell broke loose back there. I don't know if you've met Ky or Hue either, but we [I]did [/I] appreciate you looking out for us."

Self-consionsly she looked down at herself. Her once red and rose colored vestments were now closer to dusty black and grey. She turned to Hue. "I don't know how you feel, but I feel like I brought half the dirt of the underdark up with me and it's all over my body. Before dinner, I'd like to wash a good portion of it off. If you'd like, I'll have a bath drawn for you in the bath house, too. Oh!" she raised her voice to make sure everyone in the party heard. "That goes for anyone else! Just give me a count of guys and girls and I'll have them ready for you when you want them. I just can't stand myself a moment longer."

When everyone who wanted one spoke up, Shea'ann signaled the innkeep to let him know that she wished to speak with him. She took a step toward the propriator, then turned back to Ky. "I'll be holding you to that promised meal, if the offer is still good." she said, suddenly shy with everyone back together again. She flushed red, then fled to the innkeeper, so flustered that she forgot to wait for Ky's answer.

[Jim_Hawking]

[font=Tahoma]Ky stood there with his mouth open. "If you would have given me a minute, I would have told you it was..." Ky mumbled.[/font]

"So, what's this 'meal' she was talking about?" Hue asked.

:animeblus "Uhh....nothing...special. Before we took that detour through the Underdark, I had asked her if she wanted to go out when we got here."

"A rouge asking a cleric on a date? Honestly, it sounds like the set-up for a really bad joke." Jura quipped.

"Says someone who hooked-up with someone our first night on this little trip. I think you may have woke up a good number of people with your 'performance'." Ky retaliated. "But nevermind that, if I expect to take her somewhere nice...I need to go get some coin."

*Outside the inn*

Ky has gathered a large crowd of people around himself.

"I shall now amaze and astound each and every one of you as I plick the stem of this cherry, but I won't be using my hands...no no no...that would be dull! Instead I'll use this throwing dagger, AND the cherry won't just be on any table, it will be on a volunteers head AND behind an arrow slit at a distance of 25 feet! Now.....you! *points to random audience member* How would you like to make twenty percent of whatever these kind folks give us? *Audience member nods* Then come on up and take your place behind the slit and stay perfectly still."

Ky grabs one of his throwing daggers and begins to focus. After a moment he flicks the blade into the air, catches it with two fingers and zings it through the arrow slit, cleanly plicking the stem from the cherry.

The crowd cheers and throws silver and gold coins to Ky then disperse. Remembering his deal he cuts the boy he selected from the audience on the profits and gives him 2000 silver and 100 gold. Minutes later, he is relaxing in the bath that Shea'ann arranged for him.

"Ahh...heaven. Though...I wouldn't mind one bit if Shea'ann wanted to join me...*begins giggling to himself*:animenose Mmm, perhaps the heat is getting to me..."

[missrelena]

"Ky, this is [I]much[/I] more than I expected. When you promise dinner, you don't stint on anything." Shea'ann was amazed. From the time the rogue tapped on her door to see if she was still on for their date, she'd been practiacally speachless. She'd never eaten in a private room before, and the flowers on the table were almost too much. The food was far above average fare and the wine was light and crisp. She couldn't imagine what this cost him, a fair handful of gold at least, and the idea that it was spent on her was flabbergasting.

Before this, Shea'ann was lucky to have party members barely tolerate her presence because of the healing magic she could do. And if she had been able to decipher a way to heal without touching the adventurer in question, that would have been even better. Even the loving priests at the temple of Lathander had kept her at arm's length, never touching, and never seeking out her company. She'd never had [I]anyone[/I] desire her presence before (if they weren't bleeding to death.) It was -- it was wonderful.

[Akieen Cloud]

Jura sunk into the hot bath and relaxed.
"Finally, a good hot bath...feels, wounderful."
she had left Cain int he room to rest while she had her own time. She looked up and sighed, she held her breath and dunked her head under the water, coming up she wiped her face and slicked back her hair and took a deep breath. Picking up the soap she began to wash til the water was murky. She rested back and realxed again. She closed her eyes thinking of her time with Cain in the cave and smiled. Her cheeks flushed and she shook her ehad at Ky's remark.
"Maybe that is true but...I don't care."
she opened her eyes and sat up thinking on how that sounded, how she sounded.
"I-I sound infatuated...Oh, my god. I am...this could indanger what we came to do..."
she had a short flash back of the cave and blinked. She like the feeling of being loved, of not being alone. She knew how She'ann was feeling too with Ky. Wild Elves are not easily taken... She leaned back and let her mind wander, it wandered to her father...she smiled sadly, her beloved father. She felt her throat tighten and her eyes water, she held them back and forgot them. She stood and let the water drip from her body then grabbed a towel and wrapped it around her-self. Walk ing into her room she found Cain, on his back, asleep.
"So he is human...or somewhat..."
she dressed quietly and grabbed his feet tugging his shoes off gently she moved him til he was on the bed the right way and yanked the covers quickly out from under him and then covered him again. She sat down on the bed and began to brush her hair, she was letting the crew have some free time to them-selves before they got down to the nitty gritty of things, like searching for clues and exterminateing what little problems this place had.

[Kayin Cloud]

Hiro sighed as they reached the inn. "I forgot to introduce myself to the rest of the party." He sighed. "I guess I'll do it later." He walked up into his room, leaning against the window sill near to his bed. "I wonder if they'll be okay having me with them....I seemed to be the last to join up with them...." He let out a yawn and stood up, stretching. "I suppose I shall get some rest once I get cleaned up....so until then...." Hiro pulled out a small flute out of his quiver which had belonged to Milfa. She gave it to him before he left for Targos for good luck. He smiled as he pressed his lips against it and started to play a song quietly.

He sighed and pulled the flute away. "I hope Milfa is doing well....And that she isn't worrying about me." He laughed to himself, "I highly doubt that...she's always worrying about me..." He smiled and sat in a chair in his room, looking out the window once again. "I hope we finish soon so I can go back...." He stood up and closed his eyes as he pressed his lips against the flute again, playing a slow melody upon it.

[Knuckles]

Cain continued to sleep... or so it seemed. He was looking through the memories of Jura and him as kids. He smiled. It was so long ago, but now... they were together again. "I don't know about you old friend, but her being there is a trouble to you." Said a voice in his head. "Lloyd? Lloyd Pent? You ass. Where have you been? I tryed to get a hold of you for a while. Your mother is worried sick! It's passed your annual visit." Cain spoke in his mind as a reply. They were using mental messeging (obviously. lol). "Yeah, I'm sorry. There was another break in here." "Who was it this time?!" "Same old, same old. Chimera." "I'm gonna kill all of them." "Hold yourself... You must be careful, now that Jura is there. You cant lose her." "I need to tell her the truth about you! To tell her, you are her br..." "You cant. It would kill her." "I love her. And for that I will tell her, because you wont." "What? That the one she thought was her friend was really her brother who her father through out onto the streets, because my mother was his ex. Screw that." "I still am. I'll talk to you later old friend." "Bye. Take care of my sister." "Of course." He opened his eyes and looked beside him to see Jura. He smiled, yet frowned at the thought of having to tell her... "Umm..Jura? There is something you need to know. About the truth behind Lloyd Pent...." He pulled her close.

[Akieen Cloud]

Jura jumped slightly at his touch.
"You starteled me, I thought you were asleep."
He shook his head and looked at her, his face seemed worried.
"You seem troubled, what's on your mind Cain? You can tell me."
She smiled and leaned back agaisnt him and sighed. She smiled as she heard Hiro in a few rooms down playing.
"I didn't know he could do that...it's very pretty..."

[Knuckles]

He looked at her close. "Lloyd Pent... He's... he's... your brother..." She sat straight up and stared at him. "I know you dont believe me, but yo--" She interupted him. "I never had a brother! What are you doing? What are you saying?!" He looked extremely concerned. "Calm down please. Your father had a son with a women to which he was married to before your mother. When they divorced, your father sent your brother away and never spoke of him again. I am not lieing to you I promise. Even your mother never knew about it, The whole time, only your father and Lloyd's mother knew. When your father passed away, she told Lloyd everything. It is all true. I pro--" She slapped him. He looked at the floor and didn't move. As a tear rolled down his once proud face, the only thought he had was he wished he didn't have to hurt her anymore.

[Akieen Cloud]

Jura stood away from hima nd looked at him, she saw the tear and felt guilt for her actions but what he was saying couldn't be real.
"My father was an elf, he married an elf. That's the end of it."
He didn't speak, only close his eyes and keep looking at the floor. She began to pace the room looking this way and that. She knew he wouldn't lie to her, but, of everyone in the world...why Lloyd? she sighed and dropped to her knees infront of him.
"Cain, I'm so sorry...please forgive me...I know you would never lie to me...I just don't understand...how could Lloyd possibly...I just...I'm sorry. But I want proof."
she gently laid her hand on the cheek she hit and frowned at her-self. She bent down and kiised his cheek than his lips softly.
"I'm sorry..."
She raised his face to look at her.
"Do you believe me?"
Her eyes were full of hurt and guilt for what she had just done.

[Sapphire Flare]

Ooc: Crisp is a funny word ^o^

Vice was sprawled out on his bed, thoughts swimming through his head, and him still in the same clothes.

"Urgh..." He grumbled and sat up on his bed, he felt rigid and dirty. "Time for a bath." That freezing mountain atmosphere was tough enough but they aren't even close to the end of this Journey.

Vice slipped into the hot spa, the fog covering everything from sight. He reflected on it all, Hue, the Black Dragon, They Journey, he played back every detail, and ultimately wondered: "What next?"

[I]Chimera obviously won't stop until he gets what he wants... What exactly does he want? I only came on this journey to gain more, learn more, become more ferocious. Turns out, I got alot more than I bargained for...[/I] He looked up, letting himself sink deeper into the steaming bath. [I]Back at the academy...[/I] Vice had a flashback about his teachers and classmates at the academy, the eyes of the other kids glinted his way. Almost every other kid was an Assimar... The few teiflings that attented the school were already defeated, they were made fun of and did nothing, only accepted what they could not change. The first time one of the Assimars tried to make fun of Vice, Vice tangled him up in vines and threw him out the window off of the second floor of the building. Vice remembered that day, from that day on the Assimars hated him and made fun of him behind his back.

They were scared and Vice loved it.

But now, his prowess are being put to the test in an actual mission... It turns out he had alot more to learn that he wasn't aware of. He remembered what he said at the academy...

"You have nothing left to teach me anything!"

"We can teach you self-control."

Then, nothing. He couldn't remember anything else, and it was getting a bit hot.

Vice stepped out of the bath and wrapped a towel around him, he put on a robe that was graciously provided by the innkeeper. Vice stepped out of the spa room and walked down the hallway back to his room with his clothes in one hand and his towel in the other. A loud smacking sound was heard. By its crisp defined sound, it must've hurt. However, Vice couldn't care any less by now. Many odd things happen around here, odd people+odd places = odd occurences. Vice was stunned when a door opening smacked him in the face, and Hue stepped out.

"Oh, sorry." She extended her hand to help Vice up. Vice immediately noticed that his feral eyes were activated when the door hit him, he was about to switch them off when he noticed something funny. It wasn't Hue, but something behind Hue.

"Something wrong?" Hue asked as she looked behind her to see what Vice was staring at.

"I'm not so sure..." He walked to the door, it was emitting something, some kind of... Shadowy aura, it was hard to describe, like invisible black flames flickering off the door. "Who's door is this?"

"That?" Hue pointed to the door. "Don't know. Not someone from our crew."

"..." Vice walked up and placed his hand on the door, he felt nothing but he could still see the flames, he lifted his hand off to see that his hand was now, too covered in the aura, although he felt nothing. He shook his hand and it evaporated quickly. Hue shot Vice an odd look and Vice shrugged. He walked on, getting back ot his room for a good night's sleep.

"I believe you... I am sorry for doing this to you again..." He looked deep into Jura's eyes. "This isn't something you can just pull out a piece of paper and prove. Your father burned all that proved he had a son. I wish I could but we will go see his mom if you'd like..." He looked at her expression. She still looked sorry for what she did. "I am fine. As you can see, I'm not bleeding..." She touched his lip and showed him her finger. It had blood on it. "...much..." He replied. "Look it's ok. It just hurt emotionally. But I am fine. Ok? More than fine." He pulled her into a hug. "Why didn't you block it?" She asked him. "Because you felt you needed to do that." "So?" "So I let you..." She looked hurt and felt mad at herself. "Please stop. If you love me you will stop." She opened her mouth to speak, but he knew what she was going to say. "And I know you do." He smiled.
