| ShadowShinobi02-14-04, 01:16 PM | Sihgneg Knahk stands on a grassy hill overlooking Olinava, Nest of Magpies "Welcome to Shardeus, my home! Those who would try and endure this hostile realm, join me!" |
| Exiled_Beauty02-14-04, 11:03 PM | *Exili staggers forward, brushing back her wispy blue hair with a sigh.* "It took me awhile to journey here," she explains, glancing over at Sihgneg with a half smile, "but I'm here. Last I saw of you, you were flying away..." *She wraps her robes around her body more tightly, chilled from the breeze.* |
| ShadowShinobi02-14-04, 11:35 PM | Sihgneg smiles and dashes over to her"Come, you look terrible"Sihgneg takes off his cloak and wraps it around Exili "You must be as travel-weary as I am, so let's head to the Rusty Blade to refresh ourselves"After half an hour of walking, they come upon a run-down inn called the Rusty Blade. A heavily rusted katana hangs from the sign over the door. The sound of laughter and more than one brawl can be heard. The interior is dim-lit. Sihgneg shows Exili to the bar, where he orders s food and drink |
| Exiled_Beauty02-14-04, 11:41 PM | "Ah, such a gentlemen," she replies, favoring his friendliness. *She glances about the bar, unfamiliar to such 'chaotic' environments. She rubs her hands together, finally getting warm. Then Exili turns to face Sihgneg.* "I came looking for you, as you've probably guessed," she speaks softly, blushing a bit. |
| ShadowShinobi02-14-04, 11:51 PM | "I'm sorry I flew away from the glade like that... I don't know what came over me" Sihgneg thanks the barkeep when the steak and ale arrive |
| Exiled_Beauty02-14-04, 11:55 PM | *Exili grins humorously.* "I wasn't about to let you slip away like that," she comments, giving a short laugh, then looking down. "But it did take a lot out of me coming to your homeland," she adds, taking a small sip of ale. |
| ShadowShinobi02-14-04, 11:59 PM | "I'm not sure you'll like this realm... not everywhere is as friendly as this"Sihgneg takes a deep draught of the ale "But let's enjoy ourselves for the moment" Sihgneg smiles at Exili "This is the best inn in town" |
| Exiled_Beauty02-15-04, 12:15 AM | *Exili nods, still taking occasional sips of ale.* "I can take care of myself most of time," she assures, "and circumstances could be much worse. But your right, enjoy it for now... although I do not know what kind of role I play in this land, or even in your presence." |
| ShadowShinobi02-15-04, 12:17 AM | "I don't know what my role here is exactly either, but I do know that certain wrongs must be righted, and that you are my friend, Exili" Sihgneg looks into her eyes reassuringly as he says this |
| Exiled_Beauty02-15-04, 12:21 AM | "Then I am at your side, as you are mine. Am I right, my friend?" asks Exili, making eye contect with him. *Exili feels a swell of joy in her heart.* |
| ShadowShinobi02-15-04, 12:25 AM | "I will stand by you forever, Exili" Sihgneg finishes off his steak and says "It is late. As soon as you are done, we can rent a room, and in the morning I will explain the troubles of Shardeus" |
| Exiled_Beauty02-15-04, 12:29 AM | *She smiles at him, then turns to what's left of her food.* "I'm quite fine now... thanks..." she says, sounding a bit distant. *She shakes her head as if clearing some thoughts, then stands up from her chair, looking readily at Sihgneg.* |
| ShadowShinobi02-15-04, 12:34 AM | "All right then" Sihgneg says with a yawn and he walks up to the proprieter of the inn and haggles for a room he then leads Exili upstairs to a small bedroom with two beds, a bath and chamber pot behind a rice paper wall, and a fireplace "Well, good night" He says as he unbuckles his weapons and armor and flops down one of the beds |
| Exiled_Beauty02-15-04, 12:40 AM | *Exili stands in the doorway awkwardly, her hands clasped together.* "Erm.. yes, goodnight.." she says quietly, stepping in a little. |
| ShadowShinobi02-15-04, 12:44 AM | Sihgneg wakes up in the morning, feeling more refreshed than he has in ages. The room is cold, so he gets a fire going in the fireplace, lights some incense, and meditates on the hearth |
| Exiled_Beauty02-15-04, 12:47 AM | *Exili is still buried under a few thin blankets, having felt so exhausted from her journey on foot. She stirs after hearing soft noises of movement.* *She rises quickly, notices Sihgneg and smiles to herself.* |
| ShadowShinobi02-15-04, 12:52 AM | Sihgneg remains still for a few minutes, chanting mantras in some forgotten tongue, then notices that Exili is awake and rises "Have a good night's rest?"He asks with a warm smile "If you would like to learn about this world, we can talk over breakfast"Says Sihgneg as he slips on a black robe |
| Exiled_Beauty02-15-04, 12:57 AM | "Shall we talk here?" she asks, remaining where she is while tracing the small tatoos on her palm out of habit. "Anything you wish for me to know... is your choice," she adds. |
| ShadowShinobi02-15-04, 01:04 AM | Sihgneg reaches into his pack and pulls out a bag of tea, which he then adds to boiling water over the fire. He also cooks some bacon. When it is finished, he hands Exili a plate of bacon and a cup of steaming tea"This was once a peaceful place, but it was overrun by tyrrany. My whole family died fighting that tyrrany, so I seek to continue thier crusade. We are in Olindekaaraa, which is was once the training ground for some of the world's finest shinobi assassins. I am the last. If you wish to know more, simply ask me." |
| Exiled_Beauty02-15-04, 01:10 AM | *She graciously accepts the breakfast, intrigued at what she has learned.* "Your cause is noble.. but please excuse my pessimistic thought. What do you believe we can do, us two? Or is there more like you?" asks Exili, nodding towards Sihgneg. |
| ShadowShinobi02-15-04, 01:14 AM | Sihgneg grins roguishly, then says "That is what I asked when my master first told me of his plan... His reply was 'My boy, you underestimate a careful assassination', and he was right.Sihgneg takes a sip of tea and nibbles some bacon |
| Exiled_Beauty02-15-04, 01:19 AM | *Exili nods thoughtfully at his quote, pleasantly sipping the tea. She closes her azure eyes, sighing deeply and contentedly.* |
| ShadowShinobi02-15-04, 01:20 AM | "Do you have any more queries?"Sihgneg asks |
| Exiled_Beauty02-15-04, 01:25 AM | "...yes," she replies timidly, "... may I stay close to you, wherever you may travel?" *Exili smiles awkwardly, blushing as she tucks a few strands of hair behind an ear.* |
| ShadowShinobi02-15-04, 01:28 AM | "Of course!" Sihgneg smiles at her "I would love to have you as a traveling companion." |
| Exiled_Beauty02-15-04, 01:33 AM | *Exili's eyes light up with happiness.* "Truly? Oh thank you. I feel safe with you," she admits softly, "And I'd do anything to help your homeland, or at least everything that I can do." *She sets an empty cup down on the table.* |
| ShadowShinobi02-15-04, 01:37 AM | "Thank you, Exili. But you must promise me one thing; stay alive." He makes eye contact with her and says "If things get ugly, run. Oh, and do you want more tea?" |
| ThePreacher02-15-04, 01:38 AM | ((ooc: sorry for this ooc pot, but I was just wandering.. IS the thread open for newcomers?)) |
| ShadowShinobi02-15-04, 01:38 AM | ooc: yeah |
| Exiled_Beauty02-15-04, 01:39 AM | "And I will do my duties as a healer," replies Exili solemnly. *She glances at her cup.* "Thank you, but I'm quite all right." |
| ShadowShinobi02-15-04, 01:42 AM | Sihgneg eyes her weaponless clothing nervously and asks"Would you like a weapon, just in case?" |
| ThePreacher02-15-04, 01:44 AM | ((ooc: alright.. then when do I get in?)) |
| Exiled_Beauty02-15-04, 01:44 AM | "I am but a simple healer, and a simple girl. Either I heal or I flee, but I do no harm to anything or anyone," Exili firmly states. |
| ShadowShinobi02-15-04, 01:45 AM | ooc whenever we leave the tavern "Very well then. I will protect you at all costs." |
| Exiled_Beauty02-15-04, 01:51 AM | "So where do we begin, Sihgneg?" she asks, turning away from him and twining a strand of hair about her finger. "Surely we don't stay here..." |
| ShadowShinobi02-15-04, 01:54 AM | "No... we must travel to distant Darkmyr, where we will begin to systematically slay governers."Sihgneg gets up and straps on his gear"I'm ready when your'e ready" |
| Exiled_Beauty02-15-04, 01:56 AM | *Exili glances about her, then nods* "I'm ready," she answers sweetly. *She strides over to the door, her thin outer robes flailing out behind her.* |
| ShadowShinobi02-15-04, 01:58 AM | Sihgneg follows her out of the tavern and whistles for his wyvern "Ever ridden a wyvern before?"He asks Exili with a chuckle |
| Exiled_Beauty02-15-04, 02:00 AM | *She glances back at him nervously.* "No, I've never even been close to one!" she exclaims with interest. |
| ShadowShinobi02-15-04, 02:05 AM | Chuckling again, he says "Well, hold on for dear life!"The black wyvern plummets from the sky and lands right in front of them."Hop on!"Sihgneg yells as he pats the spot on the beast's back that's behind him "Just hang on!" |
| Exiled_Beauty02-15-04, 02:08 AM | *Exili cringes, not quite fond on flight, and mounts as best as she can, nearly clinging to Sihgneg.* "Heh... don't worry about me," she whispers with uneasy humor. |
| ShadowShinobi02-15-04, 02:10 AM | "Don't worry. I was scared on my first flight too! I won't let you fall!"The serpentine dragon takes off into the sky |
| Exiled_Beauty02-15-04, 02:15 AM | *Exili cries out in surprise, clinging to Sihgneg's body and shutting her eyes tightly.* "This is certainly different," she says quietly, opening her eyes a bit and looking up. *She relaxes a little, but pulls herself closer.* |
| ShadowShinobi02-15-04, 02:18 AM | "It's alright, just hang on tight and enjoy the view!"Sihgneg says, obviously enjoying the ride |
| Exiled_Beauty02-15-04, 02:21 AM | *She breathes out a sigh and gives a quick nod, half smiling.* "I've never been up in the sky like this before," she admits, her hair blown back in the breeze. "Anyways, we are off to Darkmyr. How long of a journey do you anticipate?" she asks. |
| ShadowShinobi02-15-04, 02:25 AM | "Long. We will have to stop a few times before we fly oer the sea." |
| Exiled_Beauty02-15-04, 02:29 AM | "Oh, I see," she answers, blinking as the sun comes into view for a moment before disappearing again behind clouds. *They fly all day, occasionally talking before the land becomes dim with evening.* |
| ShadowShinobi02-15-04, 10:18 AM | They begin to descend, and land in the desert. Howling, freezing wind blows all around them. Sihgneg begins to set up camp. "Exili, there's only one little tent, so I'll sleep outside."Sihgneg says this as he tosses Exili a bedroll and unrolls his on the ground outside the tent "Good night." |
| Exiled_Beauty02-15-04, 12:53 PM | "Are you sure?" she stammers, glancing about her surroundings, "It is frightful out here!" *Exili sets out her bedroll anyways, awaiting his words.* |
| ShadowShinobi02-15-04, 02:46 PM | "Yes, I'll keep watch for scorpions and the like." |
| Exiled_Beauty02-15-04, 07:20 PM | *She sighs, then disappears into the small tent.* "All right then.." she calls back after a moment. *Exili worries that there could be an attack, but shoves that thought away before going to sleep, remembering that her bad feelings often are true.* |
| ShadowShinobi02-17-04, 08:55 AM | Once Exili is asleep, Sihgneg lights a fire and pulls some materials from his pack, and begins to work on something. In about an hour, a black snake slithers up to him."What do you have to report, Sorcen?"The snake talks to him for a few minutes and curls up by the fire |
| ShadowShinobi02-17-04, 09:12 PM | In the morning, Sihgneg has finally completed whatever he was working on, and has changed into tan robes, a turban, a mask, and a pair of goggles. He pulls out two flagons of cold beer and some fruit |
| Exiled_Beauty02-17-04, 10:55 PM | *Exili emerges from the tent, feeling refreshed and with her long bluish hair in a long braid.* "Goodmorning," she says pleasantly, waving lightly over to Sihgneg with a gentle smile, "I guess were off again, eh?" |
| ShadowShinobi02-18-04, 08:45 AM | Sihgneg hands Exili breakfast, robes, and a veil. Hot sand blows everywhere in the wind. "Good mornin'. I, uh, made something for you."He holds out a wooden sword, with runes pulsing with arcane energy in the blade "This is a Bokken. It cannot slay, but it can render an opponent unconcious." |
| ShadowShinobi02-19-04, 07:41 AM | Sihgneg pulls out a compass and studies it for a moment, then says "We're making better time than I expected. A few miles north, a trading caravan has made camp on the river. When we get there, we can stock up on supplies. Pretty soon, we'll be at the sea, almost to Darkmyr."He whistles for the wyvern, then looks at Exili and says, "It's gonna be a long day with this sand, so be ready for hell." |
| Exiled_Beauty02-19-04, 10:11 AM | *She gives a brief nod and follows over to him, silently. She accepts they beautiful bokken and smiles gently. Something seems to be bothering her greatly, but she keeps to herself, always looking back from where they came.* |
| ShadowShinobi02-19-04, 04:40 PM | When the wyvern lands, Sihgneg jumps on, and motions for Exili to do the same. He gazes at Exili with a concerned look, then says, "Does something trouble you?" |
| Exiled_Beauty02-19-04, 08:56 PM | *She looks up at him, then mounts.* "It's just... all this has happened so fast... we barely know each other and yet you show so much interest. It worries me somewhat because what if you're using me for something? What sparks your interest in me Sihgneg?" says Exili in soothing, flowing words. |
| ShadowShinobi02-19-04, 10:13 PM | Sihgneg looks at the ground and sighs "I... originally I came to the glade to find a scapegoat for my assassinations. But when I befriended you... I knew I could never put you in harm's way for my hide. Because I... I... never mind. If you question my goodness, then is there any spell that you can search my soul with?" |
| Exiled_Beauty02-20-04, 04:29 PM | *Exili blinks at him, looking deep into his eyes.* "What are you trying to say?" she asks, innocently enough. |
| ShadowShinobi02-20-04, 08:36 PM | "Well... uh... you see..."Sihgneg seems to summon up all of his willpower, and says"I love you, Exili."Sihgneg then looks at the ground, bites his lip and says,"I guess you're going to slap me now, right?" |
| Exiled_Beauty02-20-04, 10:12 PM | *Exili gasps, then blushes.* "No, I'm not going to slap you," she replies softly, "yet I never expected to hear that from you..." *She sits there silently, twining a piece of hair about her finger nervously.* "So... now what?" she asks, looking up. |
| ShadowShinobi02-20-04, 10:14 PM | "Well, I guess we continue our journey."Sihgneg waits for Exili to mount |
| Exiled_Beauty02-20-04, 10:17 PM | *Exili is there beside him in an instant.* "May I ask you something before we take to the skies?" she asks hopefully. |
| ShadowShinobi02-20-04, 10:18 PM | "Of course." |
| Exiled_Beauty02-20-04, 10:19 PM | "Why me?" asks Exili, vague but deeply. |
| ShadowShinobi02-20-04, 10:23 PM | Sihgneg thinks long and hard, staring into the sky, until he finally answers"You are the only woman who has ever shown me kindness, instead of ignoring me because of my outward appearance, the only one to look inside." |
| Exiled_Beauty02-20-04, 10:27 PM | *Exili smiles brightly, happy to feel close to someone. She closes her eyes and leans in against Sihgneg.* "Then I guess we should continue our journey," she whispers. |
| ShadowShinobi02-20-04, 10:30 PM | Sihgneg smiles and yells a command to the wyvern and they take off. After hours of flight, they spot a merchant caravan that has stopped on the banks of a broad river. Sihgneg brings the dragon to the ground quietly and walks to the caravan. After a few minutes of walking around, Sihgneg finds an armorsmith to outfit him with new armor "Is there anything you want, Exili?" |
| Exiled_Beauty02-20-04, 10:32 PM | "Oh, I am fine," she replies, striding about nearby and gazing across the land. *She watches the people with interest, her hair and robes blowing back gently in the warm breeze.* |
| ShadowShinobi02-20-04, 10:36 PM | "Then I guess we should get something to eat and set up camp." After a little walking, they get back to the wyvern and Sihgneg cooks some rice noodles and pulls out some dark, bitter beer "If you don't like Dragonbite, there's more drink in the pack." |
| Exiled_Beauty02-20-04, 10:42 PM | *Exili nods in appreciation, then sits down on her knees elegantly and looks over at him.* "Ah, yes. You are too kind," she replies, then asks, "Would you like some help?" |
| ShadowShinobi02-20-04, 10:45 PM | "Naw, that's alright."As he says this, Sihgneg drives the last stake in for the tent. |
| Exiled_Beauty02-20-04, 10:50 PM | "Ok then," she says softly, sighing. *She reaches over to find something to drink, finds the beer, shrugs and takes a gulp.* "Ack!" she coughs. |
| ShadowShinobi02-20-04, 10:52 PM | "Too bitter?" Sihgneg says humorously |
| Exiled_Beauty02-20-04, 10:54 PM | *Exili goes into a bout of giggles.* "I believe so," she replies with a grin, "I've never drank beer before." |
| ShadowShinobi02-20-04, 10:58 PM | Sihgneg rummages around in the pack and finds something. He produces a flask and a bottle of light-colored wine from the pack "Water or Aeliaan Elf wine?" |
| Exiled_Beauty02-20-04, 11:03 PM | *Exili accepts the wine.* "I'll be different and try this," she says with a half smile. *She sips the sweet, sticky wine carefully.* "So we're staying here for tonight? Or do we go by moonlight?" starts Exili, before hiccuping. |
| ShadowShinobi02-20-04, 11:06 PM | "We should wait until morning to travel. Navigating the Storm Sea at night is suicide."Sihgneg finishes his meal and unpacks the bedrolls, rolling one out on the ground and one in the tent |
| Exiled_Beauty02-20-04, 11:08 PM | "Let me guess... you still insist on sleeping outside where it could be dangerous rather than in the tent?" she asks, nearly finishing her wine. |
| ShadowShinobi02-20-04, 11:10 PM | "Well... the dangers are fewer, now that we're not as close to the crypts... but the tent is small, and made only for one person to fit comfortably." |
| Exiled_Beauty02-20-04, 11:14 PM | "Aww, ok," she replies, standing up on shaky legs. "My head.." she mumbles, walking over to the tent. |
| ShadowShinobi02-20-04, 11:18 PM | "Are you okay? You shouldn't have drank so much!" He runs over to her and helps her into the tent "Just get some sleep." |
| Exiled_Beauty02-20-04, 11:19 PM | "You won't leave, will you?" she asks suddenly as she sits down on the mat looking up at Sihgneg. *She seems to plead with her eyes.* |
| ShadowShinobi02-20-04, 11:22 PM | Sihgneg lays on the mat close to her and says"I'll watch over you, Exili" |
| Exiled_Beauty02-20-04, 11:24 PM | *Exili sighs contently, lying on her side facing him.* "What will happen after we, or you, finish this journey?" she asks sweetly, wisps of her hair hanging over her face. |
| ShadowShinobi02-20-04, 11:26 PM | Sihgneg stares at her for what seems like hours, and replies"Well, whatever you want." |
| Exiled_Beauty02-20-04, 11:28 PM | "Really? But what do you want? What does your heart tell you? And what are your desires?" Exili asks dreamily. |
| ShadowShinobi02-20-04, 11:30 PM | "My heart tells me... that I want you to be happy.That is my greatest desire."Slhgneg strokes her hair and looks into her eyes |
| Exiled_Beauty02-20-04, 11:35 PM | *Exili closes her eyes and smiles gently.* "I don't want to go on without you. Not ever. I've always felt alone, all my life. But not now. I feel... complete with you. Safe and, for once, cared about. Sihgneg, I think I love you too," she says softly. |
| ShadowShinobi02-21-04, 12:09 AM | Sihgneg caresses her face lovingly, and says "I never want to part with you either." |
| Exiled_Beauty02-21-04, 01:22 PM | *Exili remains silent and still, breathing softly.* |
| ShadowShinobi02-21-04, 01:47 PM | "Good night, Exili."Sihgneg whispers softly Sihgneg awakens early the next morning. He bakes a crispy, flat bread and takes out a jug of water |
| Exiled_Beauty02-22-04, 12:35 AM | *Exili wakes up and slips out of the tent into the morning sunlight.* "Mm, goodmorning," she greets, nodding towards him and wrapping her robes more tightly around her body. |
| ShadowShinobi02-22-04, 12:49 AM | "Good morning. Today we will travel over the sea. So eat up, we won't be able to stop for a while."He hands her food and water and smiles |
| Exiled_Beauty02-22-04, 12:51 AM | *She gratefully accepts the food and eats it.* "Over the sea? Sounds... unnerving," says Exili, turning to face him. |
| ShadowShinobi02-22-04, 12:54 AM | "Once we are cross, we will be in Darkmyr." |
| Exiled_Beauty02-22-04, 12:59 AM | *She smiles faintly.* "That is good I guess.. I mean, it's somewhere new to me. I enjoy traveling on to unfamiliar lands," she explains, tilting her head slightly, "It's somewhat exciting." |
| ShadowShinobi02-22-04, 01:03 AM | "Yes... new people, sights, cultures... but be on your guard when we arrive. Not everything is as it seems." |
| Exiled_Beauty02-22-04, 01:06 AM | "Would I be in danger there?" she asks solemnly, blinking. *Exili helps pack up the remaining camp supplies with Sihgneg.* |
| ShadowShinobi02-22-04, 01:08 AM | "Not if I can help it."Sihgneg whistles for the wyvern |
| Exiled_Beauty02-22-04, 01:12 AM | "Ah, you're so comforting," she replies casually. *She steps up to him and the wyvern.* "So where does this wyvern go when you haven't called for him?" she asks thoughtfully. |
| ShadowShinobi02-22-04, 01:13 AM | Sihgneg mounts and helps Exili on behind him "Well, we're off again!"The wyvern takes off at Sihgneg's command"He goes to the nearest oasis out here in the desert, but in cooler climates he just hunts for livestock." |
| Exiled_Beauty02-22-04, 01:19 AM | *Exili feels her head swim with dizziness, still not accustomed to this flying concept. She holds on to Sihgneg, but soon slumps forward, out cold.* |
| ShadowShinobi02-22-04, 01:20 AM | "You alright!?"Sihgneg asks with concern at her sudden movement.When he sees what happened, he grabs her quickly before she can fall and lands. He prepares some herbal tea and revives her with a splash of water |
| Exiled_Beauty02-22-04, 01:25 AM | *Exili gasps, then sits up quickly, nearly knocking into him. Her breathing is much too fast.* "I... I don't know..." she whispers, closing her eyes tightly, "I thought I was used to flying, but maybe it wasn't that..." |
| ShadowShinobi02-22-04, 01:27 AM | "Calm down!"Sihgneg gives her some of the tea to drink and does his best to comfort her. He pulls out a tatami mat for her to lie on and props her legs up slightly with his pack |
| Exiled_Beauty02-22-04, 01:29 AM | "No, no. I mustn't delay our journey. Come, let's continue," Exili replies, standing up carefully and wavering a bit. |
| ShadowShinobi02-22-04, 01:31 AM | A worried look crosses his face, and he says"Are you sure? We can stop a while if you need to."He runs over to her to help her walk |
| Exiled_Beauty02-22-04, 01:33 AM | *Exili looks into his eyes lovingly.* "Don't worry about me. I'll make it through," she reassures him, placing her hand on his shoulder and leaning in a bit. |
| ShadowShinobi02-22-04, 01:36 AM | He places his hands on her shoulders and kisses her lightly |
| Exiled_Beauty02-22-04, 01:42 AM | *Afterwards, Exili smiles sweetly and then turns away, looking out into the distance. She sighs.* "We should continue on over the sea, shouldn't we?" she reminds him, looking back over her shoulder at him. |
| ShadowShinobi02-22-04, 01:45 AM | With a faraway look in his eye, he says"Yes, I suppose so." He mounts the wyvern and motions for Exili to sit in front of him this time"In case you pass out again"He explains |
| Exiled_Beauty02-22-04, 01:49 AM | *Exili nods and then mounts the wyvern, sitting in front of Sihgneg.* "If you insist then," she replies softly, glancing back. "I'm ready." |
| ShadowShinobi02-22-04, 01:51 AM | Sihgneg hollers to the wyvern and it takes off into the sky. After a few hours, the ocean comes into view"Yahoo!"Yells Sihgneg. "The sea!" |
| Exiled_Beauty02-22-04, 01:56 AM | *Exili smiles brightly, gazing out before her.* "I've never seen a sea before. This is truly something new to my eyes," she explains cheerfully. |
| ShadowShinobi02-22-04, 01:58 AM | "The ocean is a wondrous thing. I never get tired of it."He commands the wyvern into a dive and pulls up just as they hit the water. They continue to skim the water for a while |
| Exiled_Beauty02-22-04, 02:03 AM | *Exili is quite intrigued. She breathes in the warm sea air.* "So it'll take us all day to fly over this sea?" Exili asks finally. |
| ShadowShinobi02-22-04, 02:05 AM | "Yep. So, how do you like it?"He replies, smiling and running his hand through the water |
| Exiled_Beauty02-22-04, 02:10 AM | "On any other day it would be amazing. But with you it is breathtaking," she answers softly, leaning back towards him. |
| ShadowShinobi02-22-04, 02:12 AM | He leans in towards Exili and kisses her passionately |
| Exiled_Beauty02-22-04, 02:16 AM | *Exili then remians in his arms, contentedly.* After awhile she asks, "Do you know what it is like in Darkmyr?" |
| ShadowShinobi02-22-04, 02:18 AM | "Dead. It is a barren wasteland. The people are oppressed. The government is totally corrupt." |
| Exiled_Beauty02-22-04, 02:24 AM | "Oh.. then there is much to be healed, to be restored. I guess I'll have to see it to believe it," says Exili. *Many hours of flying pass by soon.* |
| ShadowShinobi02-22-04, 02:29 AM | As the sun begins to set, a light drizzle starts up. Eventually, it becomes a full-blown storm. Sihgneg throws a cloak about Exili and hurries the wyvern, until they finally reach shore. Sihgneg quickly sets up the tent and unrolls the bedrolls. For dinner, he simply pulls out some strips of jerky and ale. |
| Exiled_Beauty02-22-04, 12:12 PM | *Exili stumbles through the stormy winds and into the tent with Sihgneg where they have the light dinner.* "This must be the shore of Darkmyr then?" she asks after smoothing out her hair. |
| ShadowShinobi02-22-04, 01:27 PM | "This is Darkmyr for you."He says with a grim smile |
| Exiled_Beauty02-22-04, 03:44 PM | "Ah, refreshing," she replies dully, with a half smile. |
| ShadowShinobi02-22-04, 04:49 PM | "Sorry. Not much better I can do in this infernal storm. Guess we should rest up. Tomorrow we assassinate our first governer."He lies down on the mat with a yawn"G'night." |
| Exiled_Beauty02-22-04, 06:32 PM | *Exili lets out a short, quiet laugh, then lies down beside him. That night she has nightmares about horrible outcomes of the future, awakening in the dead of night with a start.* "I need sleep..." she mumbles, lying back down after relaxing. |
| ShadowShinobi02-22-04, 06:48 PM | When Exili awkens, his hand instintively goes to his ninja-to, and he sits up quickly, ready for combat"Oh, sorry, its only you, Exili."He lies back down |
| Exiled_Beauty02-22-04, 06:50 PM | "Oh, I'm so sorry for waking you... it's just so difficult for me to sleep soundly. I'm rather jumpy also," she explains in a whisper. *The storm is still holding out.* |
| ShadowShinobi02-22-04, 06:52 PM | "That's alright. Living on the run made me like this." |
| Exiled_Beauty02-22-04, 06:55 PM | *Exili blinks and then shakes her head.* "Oh really? That must have been tiring," she comments. |
| ShadowShinobi02-22-04, 06:57 PM | "Yeah. But let's not talk about it all night. We need sleep."He gives her a smile before going to sleep again |
| Exiled_Beauty02-22-04, 07:05 PM | *Exili sighs, then lies back down and shivers.* "Yes... sleep," she whispers, staring off in the distance. |
| ShadowShinobi02-22-04, 07:07 PM | The next morning the storm has cleared up, and the sun beats down harshly. They have a meager meal of eggs and ale |
| Exiled_Beauty02-22-04, 07:09 PM | *Exili seems to wander around the camp, staring at the horizon over the sea and occastionally toying with her clear amulet.* |
| ShadowShinobi02-22-04, 07:11 PM | Sihgneg strides over to Exili "Everything okay?" He asks with a warm smile. His eyes wander to the amulet about her neck "Family heirloom?" he asks |
| Exiled_Beauty02-22-04, 07:16 PM | "I'm all right. Just thinking, that's all," says Exili. *She looks at her clear round amulet.* "It's nothing special... really. Just glass, I think. It was from my fiance, before he was slaughtered.." she explains nervously, looking up into his eyes desperately. |
| ShadowShinobi02-22-04, 07:27 PM | Sihgneg turns and puts a comforting hand on her shoulder "I'm sorry. I truly am." |
| Exiled_Beauty02-22-04, 07:33 PM | *She lets out a sigh of relief.* "I'm so glad you're as understanding as you are. So, shall we pack up and travel onward?" she suggests, in more of a better mood. |
| ShadowShinobi02-22-04, 08:28 PM | "Yes, I suppose so."He calls the wyvern and packs up the tent. When the wyvern arrives, he mounts it and waits for Exili to follow |
| Opalisque02-22-04, 10:29 PM | ooc: i can join in right? i think you said so for other people. From a distance watches a shadowed woman with slanting eyes and jet black hair. She smirks at the two travelers and continues watching them... tracking them. Before the blue haired girl can slip away with that man she hurls herself over the rocks and darts towards her with her blades ready! "Die, outlanders!" she hisses. |
| Exiled_Beauty02-22-04, 10:39 PM | *Exili gasps and backs away, a looks of shock upon her face as the strange woman comes rushing up to her with weapons unsheathed.* "No, don't attack!" she shrieks. |
| ShadowShinobi02-22-04, 10:43 PM | Faster than the eye can see, Sihgneg is at the mysterious woman's throat with a poisoned blade "What do you want with us?"He demands |
| Opalisque02-22-04, 10:47 PM | "I will not speak with you ," she snaps, "The girl must die! She has poisened your mind!" As she says this she points at the girl called Exili, sneering at her. "I keep this shore cleared of travelers. I am a huntress," she adds haughtily. |
| ShadowShinobi02-22-04, 11:00 PM | "If she dies, you die, and I don't mean a quick, painless death. See this blade? It is poisoned with Shadow Taint. That means if I slay you, you'll rise as my undead servant, forever bound to the earth." |
| Exiled_Beauty02-22-04, 11:02 PM | *Exili stands behind Sihgneg, gazing over his shoulder at this 'huntress'.* "Why must I die? What have I done?" Exili replies bleakly. |
| Opalisque02-22-04, 11:05 PM | She glances at the blade and smirks casually. As quick as she can, she darts under his arm and straight for Exili, slashing at her side and cutting through clothe and skin. "This isn't the last you'll see of me," she hisses before dashing away from the two, leaving Exili wounded. |
| ShadowShinobi02-22-04, 11:10 PM | Sihgneg takes off his glove and lays a hand on the wound. He says 'Sha!' and pulsating white light emanates from his hand. The wound is healed, but he is totally exhausted |
| Exiled_Beauty02-22-04, 11:12 PM | *Exili gasps with both slight pain and surprise.* "Sihgneg, you didn't have to do that... remember that I am a healer. Here, sit with me," she pleads. *She nervously watches the malicious woman run away, hoping that she won't return for another attack.* |
| ShadowShinobi02-22-04, 11:14 PM | "Sorry, you were badly wounded, and I didn't know if you could concentrate well enough to heal." |
| Exiled_Beauty02-22-04, 11:18 PM | "You are right... I've never tried healing myself while in such immense pain," she replies, staying beside him. *She brushes back her hair and smiles softly. Then she looks down at her ripped clothes and exposed side, frowning.* "It'll be fine for now. Shall we continue on soon after you've rested for awhile?" |
| ShadowShinobi02-22-04, 11:58 PM | "Yeah... healing you depleted most of my ki reserves." |
| Exiled_Beauty02-23-04, 12:08 AM | *She sits plainly on the ground, cross legged, then looks up at him standing there.* "You were protecting me... I thank you," Exili says softly and tranquilly, looking at him lovingly. |
| Opalisque02-23-04, 12:26 AM | The woman stands still in the distance, peering desperately over the outcropping of rocks and all the way over to where the two travelers remain. "I underestimated them. Or at least the man. But I will follow them," she whispers to herself, full of detirmination to make a difference. She pulls her crimson hood on over her head and begins to stalk away across the wasteland shores. |
| ShadowShinobi02-23-04, 10:37 AM | "I have a feeling we'll be hearing from her sometime soon. Thank El you're alive."He lies down on the ground, fatigued |
| Exiled_Beauty02-23-04, 05:48 PM | *Exili leans over him, peering into his eyes.* "You'll be ok, right?" she asks quietly, seeming to worry for him. |
| ShadowShinobi02-23-04, 06:46 PM | "I'm fine, just winded." After a few minutes, he gets up and heads over to the wyvern and mounts it "Do you need your robe mended?" |
| Exiled_Beauty02-23-04, 10:47 PM | *She looks down at herself, then back up at him.* "I'll fix it later, once we get into town perhaps," she replies, mounting with Sihgneg. |
| ShadowShinobi02-23-04, 10:50 PM | He gets the wyvern to take off into the blue "Alright. We'll be in Delbrg in a few hours." |
| Exiled_Beauty02-23-04, 10:52 PM | "Wonderful..." she says quietly and distantly. *Exili gazes down at the ground far below, day-dreaming.* |
| ShadowShinobi02-23-04, 10:55 PM | "Mm-hm..."They fly for hours until they see a town on a delta in a river, they then land "Well, there's Delbrg."He sets off toward the city |
| Exiled_Beauty02-23-04, 10:58 PM | *Exili follows along closely, glancing about and taking in the new sights.* "Is this place hostile?" she asks soon, leaving her thoughts behind. |
| ShadowShinobi02-23-04, 11:00 PM | "The people mind their own business, but the governer would have me crucified if he knew who I was."They reach the fringes of town |
| Exiled_Beauty02-23-04, 11:02 PM | "Well then they won't be finding out about you, right?" she comments rather cheerfully, a faint smile coming to her lips. |
| ShadowShinobi02-23-04, 11:04 PM | "Nope. If you need anything, I'm about to go to the market." |
| Exiled_Beauty02-23-04, 11:08 PM | "Could I stay with you?" she asks hopefully. |
| ShadowShinobi02-23-04, 11:10 PM | "Sure. All I need is a scroll and a slim dagger."He sets off towards the marketplace |
| Exiled_Beauty02-23-04, 11:13 PM | *Exili follows a few paces behind him, holding her side occastionally and glancing at the ripped clothing. Her body appeared to be healed, yet why did it bother her so?* 'I wonder if there was something on that woman's blades?' she thinks to herself in her head. *She nods off that thought and quickens her pace to keep up with him.* |
| ShadowShinobi02-23-04, 11:16 PM | Sihgneg transforms into an elderly elf and purchases the scroll and dagger"Anything you need or want?"He transforms into his human form once he is done |
| Exiled_Beauty02-23-04, 11:18 PM | "No, that's quite all right," she answers with a smile. *She hides her slight pain beneath sweet smiles.* |
| ShadowShinobi02-23-04, 11:21 PM | He walks to the outskirts of town and pulls out a sheet of parchment. He reads the incantation on the scroll and red light pulses through the sheet. He rolls the dagger up with it |
| Exiled_Beauty02-23-04, 11:25 PM | *Exili is rather far from him, staring off into nothingness.* "Why do I feel this way?" she whispers sadly, light tears forming in her eyes. *She wipes them away and turns to look over at Sihgneg with interest.* |
| ShadowShinobi02-23-04, 11:26 PM | "Did you say something?"He turns to her |
| Exiled_Beauty02-23-04, 11:38 PM | "I... feel.. no.. it's nothing. I'm sorry," she stammers, looking down. |
| ShadowShinobi02-23-04, 11:39 PM | Sihgneg throws her a worried look "You're hiding something. What is it?"He asks softly |
| Exiled_Beauty02-23-04, 11:46 PM | *She looks up at him desperately before bursting into tears and falling to her knees.* "I don't know what's wrong with me!," she sobs, "Ever since we came here all I've felt is despair and the pain of my memories vanishing! I cannot even heal my physical pain anymore! I feel so weak!" |
| ShadowShinobi02-24-04, 12:26 AM | Sihgneg squats down in front of her and puts a hand on her shoulder "Shhh, its alright. You aren't weak." |
| Exiled_Beauty02-24-04, 12:29 AM | *Exili gazes up at him longingly with a tear streaked face.* |
| ShadowShinobi02-24-04, 12:31 AM | "What ails you?"He looks into her eyes |
| Exiled_Beauty02-24-04, 12:33 AM | "My heart.. is what ails me," she whispers reaching out with a hand. |
| ShadowShinobi02-24-04, 12:34 AM | "Is there anything I can do?" |
| Exiled_Beauty02-24-04, 12:35 AM | *She looks down shyly.* "Sihgneg, I want to love you. But I don't want to be scared," she admits. |
| ShadowShinobi02-24-04, 12:36 AM | "Of what?" |
| Exiled_Beauty02-24-04, 12:38 AM | "Of you forgetting me. Of being left behind," she answers softly. *Her eyes fill with tears.* |
| ShadowShinobi02-24-04, 12:38 AM | "Exili... I will never forget you until the day I die... and beyond." |
| Exiled_Beauty02-24-04, 12:39 AM | "But will we always be near each other?" |
| ShadowShinobi02-24-04, 12:40 AM | "Yes." |
| Exiled_Beauty02-24-04, 12:42 AM | *Exili closes her eyes and sighs softly.* "I hope we do stay near. I hope so much," she adds. |
| ShadowShinobi02-24-04, 12:44 AM | Sihgneg embraces and kisses her |
| Exiled_Beauty02-24-04, 12:45 AM | *She remains in his arms for the longest time.* |
| ShadowShinobi02-24-04, 12:47 AM | "I never, ever want to part with you, Exili, my love." |
| Exiled_Beauty02-24-04, 12:49 AM | "I will always be at your side. And so we will never part then," she replies sweetly, blinking away the last of her tears. |
| ShadowShinobi02-24-04, 12:52 AM | "Yes..." He says with a smile. He stares into her eyes for a while, mesmerized, then says "Well, I guess we should finish our morbid task." |
| Exiled_Beauty02-24-04, 12:57 AM | *She blinks, then stands.* "Oh, yes.." she says, remembering the more importent details of why they came here. "I will not get in your way or distract you," she adds, turning. |
| ShadowShinobi02-24-04, 01:00 AM | "Don't worry, its pretty simple. I've cast Illusionary Words on the parchment. When the governer reads his 'urgent message' that I deliver to him, he will be compelled to stab himself with this dagger.Well, I guess we should be off." He sets off in what is apparently the direction of the governer's home |
| Exiled_Beauty02-24-04, 08:16 PM | *Her brows archs in curiosity.* "Really? It is that simple? How does it work?" she asks, staring at him. |
| ShadowShinobi02-24-04, 11:38 PM | "When I cast the spell, I designate a few people who can read it without ill effects; that would be you and me. When an undesignated being reads it, they feel a strong compulsion to do whatever I placed on the parchment. In this case, it's going to make him kill himself."Suddenly, he stops and adopts a thoughtful look, then says, "Then again, better idea. Here's the deal. I'm a traveling priest, and I found you bruised and battered on the side of the road. You are a traveler who was robbed by a woman in a red cloak wielding two swords. She told you to deliver this message to the governer."He smirks, then chants an incantation and points at Exili. She appears to have a number of cuts and bruises now. Sihgneg changes into a simple tunic and puts on a string of prayer beads. "This way, we eliminate the governer, and our huntress friend could become the hunted." |
| Exiled_Beauty02-26-04, 10:59 AM | "Ah, ideas are limitless," she replies with a faint smile, following alongside him. "But as long as no trouble follows us, I guess it'll work," she adds after a pause. |
| Exiled_Beauty02-26-04, 11:01 AM | *Exili wonders why the cuts and bruises don't hurt, but shrugs it off.* |
| ShadowShinobi02-26-04, 04:39 PM | They continue to walk for a few minutes until they reach a mansion. Ten guards, armed with halberds and clad in plate-mail, stand just outside the door. Sihgneg hands Exili the parchment and says "Don't worry. Just act hurt and I'll do the talking."He walks up to the guards and weaves his lie. The dim-witted thugs take it and deliver the lethal parchment to the governer |
| Exiled_Beauty02-26-04, 08:45 PM | *Exili watches on at the trechery, feeling slightly guilty. She glances at Sihgneg.* "Do we have to go inside?" she asks meekly. |
| Opalisque02-26-04, 08:53 PM | From a shadowed rooftop watches the red robed Huntress, glaring hatefully down at Exili. She's been following her, hoping to strike whenever Exili is away from the man. "What are they up to?" she whispers, watching carefully. |
| ShadowShinobi02-26-04, 09:27 PM | "Naw, we can stay outside the mansion." |
| Exiled_Beauty02-26-04, 09:42 PM | "All right then," she replies, looking back towards the gates. *She glances about.* "I feel awkward... is there someone out here watching us?" asks Exili, eyeing her surroundings. |
| ShadowShinobi02-26-04, 09:44 PM | "That hellspawn from the beach is, most likely. She said she'd be seeing us again, and I don't doubt her." |
| Exiled_Beauty02-26-04, 09:53 PM | *Exili gasps and looks around frantically.* "Her? But she wants me dead!!" Exili cries out. |
| ShadowShinobi02-26-04, 09:55 PM | "Yeah, and I want her dead. She won't strike until we're weak, which is when we get separated. And that isn't going to happen." |
| Exiled_Beauty02-26-04, 09:58 PM | *Exili leans in close, with a smile.* "I'm so glad I'm with you," she sighs, "I feel so safe and belonging." |
| ShadowShinobi02-26-04, 10:05 PM | Sihgneg puts an arm around her midsection and gives her a long, passionate kiss. Afterwards, he says "I guess we should be leaving town now, just in case they get suspicious." |
| Opalisque02-26-04, 10:08 PM | She watches intently at them, disgusted at their closeness... and somewhat jealous. "I'll kill her..." she whispers coldly. |
| ShadowShinobi02-26-04, 10:10 PM | Sihgneg begins to walk back to the wasteland outside of the town |
| Exiled_Beauty02-26-04, 10:10 PM | *Exili savors his kiss, then begins to follow with him out of town. No thoughts of danger trouble her mind anymore.* |
| ShadowShinobi02-26-04, 10:14 PM | When the town is out of sight, Sihgneg whistles shrilly for the wyvern "Our next target is Baakub. I think I might reveal the fact that I'm still alive, spread rumors." |
| ShadowShinobi02-26-04, 10:14 PM | double post |
| Exiled_Beauty02-26-04, 10:17 PM | *Exili glances up at him.* "Hm? What do you mean by that? Are you supposed to be dead?" she questions. |
| ShadowShinobi02-26-04, 10:18 PM | "Yeah. The empire said that I had been executed, so I had to lay low for a while." |
| Exiled_Beauty02-26-04, 10:25 PM | "Oh.. I understand," she replies, looking away shyly. |
| ShadowShinobi02-26-04, 10:26 PM | The black, snakelike drake lands on the dry ground before them. Sighneg mounts and mops his brow of sweat. |
| Exiled_Beauty02-26-04, 10:28 PM | *Exili mounts after slight hesitation.* "Another long journey?" she asks, almost knowing what he might say. |
| ShadowShinobi02-26-04, 10:31 PM | "No, it isn't that far. It's down this river. It might be a bit more challenging, it's the world capital of spellcasters." |
| Exiled_Beauty02-26-04, 10:34 PM | "Ah, interesting," she whispers, thinking deeply. "And what is your plan for there?" she adds, in a thoughtful mood. |
| ShadowShinobi02-27-04, 08:08 AM | Sihgneg produces a small vial filled halfway with a wine-colored powder "Wine From Death's Goblet." |
| Exiled_Beauty02-27-04, 06:19 PM | *Exili nods quickly, smiling faintly.* |
| ShadowShinobi02-27-04, 06:29 PM | Sihgneg stores the poison in his belt pouch and the wyvern takes off |
| Exiled_Beauty03-01-04, 07:17 PM | (OOC: sorry i didn't reply all weekend.. i was gone. x_X) Exili holds on tightly and watches the ground swim away from beneath them. |
| ShadowShinobi03-01-04, 07:28 PM | ooc:Thats alright About three hours later, they land a few miles away from Baakub. He unmounts and changes into a noble-looking outfit. He unpacks a beautiful silk dress adorned with fake jewels "We're going to be couriers for our deceased governer friend. As a sign of goodwill, he sent this guy a bottle of his best wine. With poison in it, of course." |
| Exiled_Beauty03-01-04, 07:31 PM | *Exili nods while listening to him, following along quickly. Then she swiftly changes into the dress he provides.* "Won't they test the wine?" she asks skeptically, smoothing out her clothes. |
| ShadowShinobi03-01-04, 07:46 PM | "Most definitely. That's why there isn't any poison in the wine." |
| Exiled_Beauty03-01-04, 08:39 PM | Aw, so you'll slip it in afterwards somehow?" she assumes. |
| ShadowShinobi03-01-04, 08:43 PM | He pulls out a dazzling platinum chalice"This chalice has a small hole in the bottom of the bowl where the drink is poured into. It is filled with poison. They will test the wine and find nothing, but the chalice is lethal." |
| Exiled_Beauty03-01-04, 08:46 PM | "Oh? Clever..." she replies, now walking alongside him as they near some buildings. |
| ShadowShinobi03-01-04, 08:48 PM | He produces two flasks from his robes"Drink this. It is an antitoxin. We may need it."He downs the vile-tasting liquid in one gulp and grimaces |
| Exiled_Beauty03-01-04, 08:52 PM | *Exili hesitates before mimicking Sihgneg.* "All this assassination business," she whispers afterwards, "...it's making me feel rather guilty." |
| ShadowShinobi03-01-04, 08:54 PM | "Tell me about it. If it weren't for the fact that these were the scum of the earth, I couldn't live with myself. Used to, when I first started, I couldn't sleep, and I threw up a lot." |
| Opalisque03-01-04, 08:55 PM | Within the town crowd is the beautiful woman, disguised from her victem. "Aha! So you two ARE up to something!" she gasps cruelly, "Assassination? This will be heard of!" And with that she sprints away towards a tower. |
| Exiled_Beauty03-01-04, 09:29 PM | *Exili stares as the Huntress sprints away, disturbed greatly.* "She might try to accuse us... anything to harm us," she says softly. |
| ShadowShinobi03-02-04, 07:54 AM | Sihgneg pulls three shuriken coated in carrion crawler toxin and throws them into the back of the fleeing huntress. He runs over to her paralyzed form and removes her weapons and binds her "Why do you wish us ill?" |
| Opalisque03-02-04, 09:43 AM | She glares at him, unanswering. Then she begins to laugh. "You ran up here to get me, in turn leaving your precious Exili behind to fall into my trap!" she says through a feminine giggle. She looks back toward Exili... or where she should've been, only nothing is there. "She's been kidnapped and it'll be quite difficult to pinpoint where she might be... my job is done here and another of my kin has taken her," she says quietly. :P |
| ShadowShinobi03-02-04, 04:34 PM | "Why do you hate her? Why!? Tell me where she is, or the next thing you see will be a burning hellscape!":mad: :b: :devil: |
| Opalisque03-02-04, 06:14 PM | She grins. "I am merely doing my job, deary. Ask my employer. Perhaps you can find him before he uses poor Exili for his own needs," she says cooly, blinking her greenish eyes. She pulls away from him suddenly. |
| Exiled_Beauty03-02-04, 07:35 PM | *Exili lies in the dark somewhere... knocked out cold from some unknown drugs her captors forced upon her.* |
| ShadowShinobi03-02-04, 10:43 PM | Sihgneg stabs her in the arm and twists the blade"Tell me where he is, or do you think you can collect your reward in hell?" |
| Opalisque03-03-04, 10:09 AM | She cries out in agony before saying, "No! I do not even know where he could be this very instant!!" |
| ShadowShinobi03-03-04, 04:32 PM | "You're a mercenary. Someone's got to pay you. When and where... that's all I need to know lady. And believe me, if I think you're lying, then you die."He twists the blade further as if to emphasize his statement |
| Opalisque03-04-04, 12:25 AM | She cries in pain, while whimpering,"I don't know where he is now!! Stop hurting me... please!" |
| Exiled_Beauty03-04-04, 12:30 AM | *Exili awakens somewhere strange in the dark. She glances around blindly... panic, dread, and uncertainty filling her heart.* "Sihgneg..?" she calls out. |
| ShadowShinobi03-04-04, 08:49 AM | His eyes go wide as he looks at the blade in the huntress's arm and the blood that has spattered all over his arm "No..."He whispers. He pulls the knife out and heals her |
| Opalisque03-04-04, 10:13 AM | She pulls away in fear and begins to weep. "You are evil... more evil than I," she spits, "... and I'm not evening being paid so I don't care!" |
| ShadowShinobi03-04-04, 04:39 PM | Sihgneg cuts her bonds and says " I'm sorry I hurt you like that. Love and hatred can drive a man over the edge... I don't want to see it happen again... too much pain is caused."He turns to where Exili was and rips off the flashy robes he is wearing, reveailing shadowsilk armor beneath "You are a tracker. Maybe you can help me." |
| Opalisque03-04-04, 08:28 PM | "I travel alone, I work alone, and I will always be alone..." she replies softly, "but if you want her so bad, why don't you check out the Northern Estate?" She turns to leave. |
| ShadowShinobi03-04-04, 09:20 PM | "Thank you. Maybe you will see the light one day, and maybe not. But anything is possible." |
| Opalisque03-04-04, 09:22 PM | "Goodbye then..." she whispers, then kisses him on the cheek and is gone. |
| Exiled_Beauty03-04-04, 09:29 PM | *In a dark, cramped cell sits Exili, leaning with her back against the wall. She's realized that she's been kidnapped and feels as if she'll never see Sihgneg again. She wants to cry, but cannot.* |
| ShadowShinobi03-04-04, 09:36 PM | When the huntress kisses him, he feels a surge of guilt and his hand strays to a shuriken, but he turns and travels to the north "Dammit... hope Exili's alright..."He mutters. He arrives at a large, imposing structure |
| ShadowShinobi03-04-04, 09:51 PM | He looks the place over, straps on a pair of shuko and ashiko, and scales the wall to a window, which he cuts with his ninja-to |
| Exiled_Beauty03-04-04, 09:53 PM | *Exili curls up in the corner as she hears noises growing louder, hoping who ever it is won't hurt her anymore.* |
| ShadowShinobi03-04-04, 10:02 PM | He climbs in through the window and begins to search the estate, working his way down until he reaches what he assumes are dungeons. He begins to pick the lock on the door to the cells |
| Exiled_Beauty03-04-04, 10:04 PM | *Exili can hear someone trying to get in and stricken with fear. She huddles in the corner and shivers.* "This is it... I'm going to be murdered.." she whispers sadly. |
| ShadowShinobi03-04-04, 10:08 PM | Sihgneg finally gets through the lock and checks the cells until he finds someone huddled in a corner "Exili, that you?" |
| Exiled_Beauty03-04-04, 10:12 PM | *Exili cries out and comes running to the door, tears in her eyes.* "You came for me!" she cries. |
| ShadowShinobi03-04-04, 10:16 PM | "It is you!"he exclaims. He embraces her fiercely "I never, ever want to lose you like that again"He leans in slightly and kisses her for what seems like an hour, but is only a few minutes |
| Exiled_Beauty03-04-04, 10:22 PM | *She remains in his arms, feeling at ease against him.* "I thought I'd never see you again. I was so scared," she whispers after their kiss. |
| ShadowShinobi03-05-04, 07:57 AM | "I'm glad you're still alive, Exili. But I think I was let into this building. I think this is a trap, and you were the bait." |
| Exiled_Beauty03-05-04, 08:49 PM | *Exili gasps.* "You truly think that?! Then... they could be watching us even now!" she says softly, clinging to him. |
| ShadowShinobi03-07-04, 07:58 PM | "They could be... or I could just be paranoid. But either way, we need to be careful." |
| Opalisque03-08-04, 10:21 AM | You here footsteps echoing down the stairwell and suddenly the Huntress emerges from the shadows, smiling. "Ahaha! You fell into my trap too! You really are a sucker for pretty girls aren't you? I knew you'd come for her! But I'm sorry... your death lies here in these dungeons," she says arrogently. |
| Exiled_Beauty03-08-04, 10:24 AM | *Exili stands behind Sihgneg.* "It's her! She did this!" she says pointing at the Huntress, "What do you want with us wench?!" |
| ShadowShinobi03-08-04, 04:31 PM | Sihgneg smiles and says "As does yours."Before the huntress can move, he is behind her with his ninja-to drawn and ready to slide across her throat "Unless, of course, you can get us out of here." |
| Exiled_Beauty03-08-04, 05:51 PM | Exili covers her face with her hands and cries, "Oh no!! Don't kill her! I can't stand this!" And with that Exili runs away up the stairs and out of the dungeons.. obviously tramatized. (bad spelling?) |
| ShadowShinobi03-08-04, 05:59 PM | "Exili!"He punches the huntress hard in the face, knocking her out. He then dashes after Exili |
| Exiled_Beauty03-08-04, 06:03 PM | *Exili runs down the corridor, making random turns and basically getting herself lost. She stops and slumps down against a wall.* "All this fighting... pain... death," she whispers sadly. |
| ShadowShinobi03-08-04, 06:05 PM | Sihgneg follows her. When she stops, he approaches her carefully and softly says "Exili? What's wrong?" |
| Exiled_Beauty03-08-04, 06:10 PM | "It's all of this fighting and killing that's wrong!" she replies, burying her face in her hands. |
| ShadowShinobi03-08-04, 06:35 PM | "I wish that there was another way, I do. I do." |
| Exiled_Beauty03-08-04, 06:37 PM | "No... it's you that's wrong," she whispers, then she turns and begins to leave. |
| ShadowShinobi03-08-04, 06:59 PM | He looks at her leaving, and a tear trickles slowly from his eye "Don't leave. I beg of you." |
| Exiled_Beauty03-08-04, 07:05 PM | "I have to... we don't belong together like this... we should just go our seperate ways..." she explains, continuing out. |
| ShadowShinobi03-08-04, 07:09 PM | Sihgneg nods sadly and says "Maybe we will meet again some day... in happier circumstances." |
| Exiled_Beauty03-08-04, 07:18 PM | *Exili stops and shivers, tears forming in her eyes.* "So this is it? I just walk away? How will I ever find my home again?" she whispers nervously, not wanting to leave him behind. |
| ShadowShinobi03-08-04, 07:20 PM | "I do not know. I am unfamiliar with your home. If you wish, I can help you return." |
| Exiled_Beauty03-08-04, 07:24 PM | "I have caused you enough trouble, you should... you should just forget about me and continue on without me," she replies shakily. *Exili pulls out a short, elaborate dagger that she had kept hidden the whole time and brings it to her own neck.* |
| ShadowShinobi03-08-04, 07:27 PM | Sihgneg stares in shock and horror at the blade and yells "No! I won't lose you too!"He points his finger at the knife and mutters an incantation, and a bolt of darkness leaps from his hand and knocks it from her grasp |
| Exiled_Beauty03-08-04, 07:29 PM | *Exili cries out and dashes away.* |
| Exiled_Beauty03-08-04, 07:53 PM | *Exili slowly edges back towards him.* "Please don't attack me... I only want to be near," she says softly, reaching out to him. |
| ShadowShinobi03-08-04, 07:53 PM | "I've nothing left now... except hatred... and a man driven by hatred ain't a man at all... he's a monster."He pulls out his black ninja-to and says 'Kage!'. The blade is sheathed in a cloud of freezing shadows. He pulls off his shadowsilk tunic and places the tip of the blade over his heart "Finally... rest."he mutters. He draws a breath and prepares to end his life |
| Exiled_Beauty03-08-04, 07:56 PM | *Exili backs away again.* "I was only trying to help.." she cries, "..I thought you'd let me near you." *She slumps down on her knees and looks down sadly.* |
| ShadowShinobi03-08-04, 07:59 PM | (ooc: disregard my last post, I didn't see yours) "I have no desire to hurt you. I just couldn't watch you slay yourself." |
| Exiled_Beauty03-08-04, 08:02 PM | *Exili reaches out to him desperately.* "I don't want to go.." she whispers. |
| ShadowShinobi03-09-04, 08:26 AM | Sihgneg takes her hand and says softly "Just do what your heart tells you... whatever makes you happy." |
| Exiled_Beauty03-09-04, 10:18 AM | "I want to live my life with you... by your side," she replies innocently. |
| ShadowShinobi03-09-04, 04:38 PM | Sihgneg draws closer to her and says softly "If that's what you want, if that is what makes you truly happy, then do it." |
| Exiled_Beauty03-09-04, 04:50 PM | "Do you want that, Sihgneg?" she asks quietly. |
| ShadowShinobi03-09-04, 05:00 PM | "Yes... without you, I am nothing. It is you gives me purpose and direction, it is you keeps me sane, you are the only reason I have to live, I am just a hate-filled shell without you. I never want to leave you, never." |
| Exiled_Beauty03-09-04, 05:19 PM | *Exili smiles shyly.* "Then let's get out of here... before the Huntress finds us again," she suggests gently, slipping her arm around his. |
| ShadowShinobi03-09-04, 05:27 PM | He pulls out his pairs of climbing claws and straps them on, then says "I'll go out, then you jump and I'll catch you."He climbs out a window and waits for her on the ground |
| Exiled_Beauty03-09-04, 05:29 PM | "There is no other way out?" she questions nervously. *Exili looks out the nearest window.* "Ermm.. ok," she replies after some hesitation. |
| ShadeShinobi03-10-04, 06:36 PM | ( OOC: ) Sorry, I gotta use this name until I can sort out a problem with the one I usually use:( He makes himself grow until he is about ten feet tall and removes his claws. He waits for Exili to jump "It's alright, I'll catch you!"He yells up to her |
| Exiled_Beauty03-10-04, 08:12 PM | (ooc: i didn't even noticed the name... ^_^" but it's ok.) *Exili blinks.* "Uh, ok then," she calls before jumping away from the window, wind rushing past her. |
| ShadeShinobi03-10-04, 10:11 PM | Sihgneg catches her, then shrinks back to his human size "Well, I think we've had enough excitement for one day. Let's rest and execute the plan on the morrow." |
| Exiled_Beauty03-10-04, 10:18 PM | "Sounds good," she replies with common interest. "And perhaps we've gotten rid of the Huntress once and for all," she adds after a moment, looking back at the estate. *She walks away with him.* |
| ShadeShinobi03-10-04, 10:23 PM | "Perhaps..."He walks back to where he dropped his noble cloathing and puts it back on, then heads to the local inn and rents a room |
| Exiled_Beauty03-10-04, 10:29 PM | *Exili follows along, in a more pleasant mood now.* "I've delayed your mission so much.. I feel so guilty Sihgneg. How can I ever make it up to you?" she asks soon, biting her lip gently. |
| ShadeShinobi03-11-04, 08:32 AM | "You have already made it up to me a thousand-fold. As I have said before, you give me renewed hope in my crusade." |
| Exiled_Beauty03-11-04, 10:20 AM | *Exili smiles cheerfully.* "I'm so glad.." she whispers. |
| ShadeShinobi03-11-04, 03:24 PM | After supper, Sihgneg retires to the room. It is simple, with no furniture other than the bed, and a small fireplace. He takes off his bandoleer of weapons hidden under the aristocratic clothing and hones the blades on his various knives, swords, and projectiles |
| Exiled_Beauty03-11-04, 07:23 PM | *Exili makes her way into the room and glances about.* "Hmm... not much. Where do I stay?" she asks quickly, noticing the bed. |
| ShadeShinobi03-11-04, 07:25 PM | "Yeah... Darkmyr doesn't have much better than this... except for the rulers..."He spits the last part of his sentence "You can sleep wherever you want." |
| Exiled_Beauty03-11-04, 07:27 PM | "Well.. um, where are you sleeping?" she asks carefully. |
| ShadeShinobi03-11-04, 10:13 PM | "Don't know if I'm going to even. I haven't sharpened these in a while, and I need to inventory my poisons, t'see if I need to get some more."He goes back to sharpening |
| Exiled_Beauty03-11-04, 10:17 PM | "Oh.. well don't tire yourself," she replies softly, walking over to the bed and curling up on it, on top of the blankets. "I'm so tired though..." she whispers soon as she watches Sihgneg. |
| ShadeShinobi03-11-04, 10:19 PM | Sihgneg continues sharpening and then begins to count the doses of toxins he is carrying. Eventually, he falls asleep on the floor |
| Exiled_Beauty03-11-04, 10:24 PM | *Exili wakes up and sees him there on the hard floor and feels bad. She slips off the bed and moves over to him as quietly as she can before touching his shoulder in an attempt to wake him up.* "Sihgneg... wake up..you shouldn't sleep on the floor.." she whispers. |
| ShadeShinobi03-11-04, 10:25 PM | He grabs a knife that had been lying beside him and jumps up "Oh, sorry. It's you." |
| Exiled_Beauty03-11-04, 10:28 PM | *Exili relaxes and sighs.* "I knew you'd be alarmed... but it's ok. Aren't you uncomfortable?" she asks, kneeling down beside him and peering into his eyes. |
| ShadeShinobi03-11-04, 10:29 PM | "A little. But you get used to it after a while." He says with a faint smile |
| Exiled_Beauty03-11-04, 10:31 PM | "You could sleep up on the bed," she suggests with a humorous smile, ".. unless you really like this floor." |
| ShadeShinobi03-12-04, 08:45 AM | He chuckles, walks over to the bed and lies down "I think some of that poison knocked me out." |
| Exiled_Beauty03-12-04, 10:00 PM | *Exili smiles and walks over, standing beside the bed.* "The fumes? That could be dangerous.." she says softly, running a hand through his hair. |
| ShadeShinobi03-14-04, 03:39 PM | "Hmmm... it would take a full dose to take me out, so the vial that leaked will be depleted." |
| Exiled_Beauty03-14-04, 09:35 PM | *Exili tilts her head.* "Oh?" |
| ShadeShinobi03-14-04, 09:37 PM | "Yeah... but stay away from the poison, just in case I'll check them all in the morning." |
| Exiled_Beauty03-14-04, 09:49 PM | "All right," she sighs, then lies down on the other side of the bed to sleep. |
| ShadeShinobi03-14-04, 09:52 PM | The night is uneventful, and he wakes up in the morning and checks the toxins to find the bottle that had leaked. He makes breakfast over the small fireplace with some rations from his pack |
| Exiled_Beauty03-14-04, 10:18 PM | *Exili wakes up finding herself clinging to the sheets. She sits up and runs a hand through her hair while closing her eyes.* "Goodmorning," she says sweetly, glancing over at him with a cute smile for some odd reason. |
| ShadeShinobi03-15-04, 04:46 PM | "Good mornin'." He hands her a cup of tea and some hot bread "Eat up. We may need all the energy we can get." |
| Exiled_Beauty03-15-04, 08:51 PM | *Exili's smile fades at his somewhat dismissive reply.* "Ah.. ok. Your right," she sighs. |
| Opalisque03-15-04, 11:28 PM | The Huntress pulls herself up from the ground after the day has passed, rubbing her bruised face and glancing about wildly. "Damn... they've been gone now for some time. I've lost them," she whispers. She escapes the estate and wanders around town. People look at her with startled expressions. The bruised and battered Huntress walks into a tavern and sits in the corner thinking. "Ok... I'm back to wandering and begging for work. My employer is as good as dead now... perhaps even me," she whispers softly, rummaging through her choices. With a shake of her head, she decides to leave behind her dark work. "I will find them.... and apologize," she finally says with a sad smile. |
| ShadeShinobi03-16-04, 08:52 AM | He stares off into the distance, with a blank expression on his face, then turns to her and smiles "Sorry, I feel sort of... out of it today ." |
| Exiled_Beauty03-16-04, 06:31 PM | *Exili blinks at him and seems to worry.* "Oh, is there anything I could do?" she asks sympathetically. *She steps closer and sets a hand on his shoulder.* |
| ShadeShinobi03-16-04, 06:38 PM | "I'm fine, just thinking... sorry if I worried you." He walks a step closer and puts an arm around her lovingly and says "Did you sleep well?" |
| Exiled_Beauty03-16-04, 06:41 PM | "Oh... yes of course," she replies sweetly, leaning in towards him. "I hope you're all right now," she adds. |
| ShadeShinobi03-16-04, 06:44 PM | He stares into her eyes for a moment, then leans in and kisses her |
| Exiled_Beauty03-16-04, 06:47 PM | *Exili kisses back, then draws back.* "You still want to continue the assassinations, don't you?" she says after a long pause, biting her lip. |
| ShadeShinobi03-16-04, 06:48 PM | "If you don't want me to continue, I'll stop." |
| Exiled_Beauty03-16-04, 06:51 PM | "It's your life, Sihgneg. Do what pleases you," she replies, looking into his eyes. |
| ShadeShinobi03-16-04, 06:55 PM | "Believe me, killing doesn't please me. I just do it for the people of Shardeus, my clan, and my mentor." |
| Exiled_Beauty03-16-04, 06:58 PM | *Exili looks down.* "So you'll be continuing on then, until they're all gone?" she asks, yet again. |
| ShadeShinobi03-16-04, 07:00 PM | "Don't worry, there is but one left after this. Skotre, in W'ae'xhan." |
| Exiled_Beauty03-16-04, 07:06 PM | "I guess you'd better go then.. and finish your mission," says Exili. |
| ShadeShinobi03-16-04, 07:09 PM | "I suppose you're right." He straps on his arms and armour and then the elegant disguise "If you don't want to come, just stay here and wait for me." |
| Exiled_Beauty03-16-04, 07:13 PM | "I guess I should tell you this now.." she starts, "I can't continue on with you. You should do this alone. I'm only getting in the way.. So I think I should turn around and head back to my home.. or at least to familiar lands. Wouldn't it be easier on you?" |
| ShadeShinobi03-16-04, 07:18 PM | "Well... I might be able to accomplish my mission more easily... if that is what you want, than by all means, do it. But if you do, take Sorcen with you." A black viper slithers from his sleeve "He is my familiar, and he will provide you with protection. And I will be able to find you when I am done." |
| Exiled_Beauty03-16-04, 07:21 PM | "You mean... you'd still come for me? You'd look for me?" she asks, surprised. |
| ShadeShinobi03-16-04, 07:24 PM | He nods "Once I am through with this quest, you are the only thing I have left for me in the mortal realm." |
| Exiled_Beauty03-16-04, 07:27 PM | "Truly? Oh, Sihgneg..." she sighs dreamily. *She then pulls her robes around her body more tighter, ties back her flowing hair, and gets ready for her journey.* "Where should I meet you?" she asks, looking up. |
| ShadeShinobi03-16-04, 07:31 PM | "I don't know your lands. So I guess you will have to choose. Be safe, and take this." He hands her a silver ring with black diamonds set into it "It will protect you from physical attacks." |
| Exiled_Beauty03-16-04, 07:33 PM | *Exili takes the ring carefully and slips it on her finger.* "Thank you so much.." she says softly, seeming ready to go, yet heartsick to leave him. |
| ShadeShinobi03-16-04, 07:37 PM | He smiles sadly and says "I will see you in a year or less. I swear it upon Kage-to and the grave of Shobashi." |
| Exiled_Beauty03-16-04, 07:40 PM | *Exili sighs, then strides over to the door and stops. She then turns around and walks back to kiss him.* "Goodbye.. for now," she whispers, then leaves out the door. |
| ShadeShinobi03-16-04, 07:45 PM | Sihgneg waves briefly, then turns back to what he was doing. "Protect her well, Sorcen." He mutters. He heads to the governer's tower without any problems, then mounts his wyvern for another trip. His final trip, if he wasn't careful. |
| Exiled_Beauty03-16-04, 07:50 PM | *Exili walks swiftly through the town, soon heading out toward the horizon, back the way she had come.* "I really hope this works.." she prays. |
| ShadeShinobi03-16-04, 07:54 PM | He reaches W'ae'xhan and after resting scales the castle walls and slits the throat of every guard he comes across. When he finds the demon Skotre, he ambushes him from behind. After a long and furious battle, the fiend is slain, and he collapses to the floor, exhausted. |
| Exiled_Beauty03-16-04, 07:57 PM | *The sun sets and Exili trudges through the darkness for hours before stopping. She curls up on the ground to sleep in her billowing robes, finding the ground to be very unpleasant to sleep on. Still, she wills herself to sleep.* |
| ShadeShinobi03-16-04, 08:01 PM | Sihgneg recovers from his gruesome wounds after a few weeks and helps the commoners to destroy the remainder of the fast-decaying government. He turns down several offers of raising him as a king and several marriage proposals. He returns to his home isle for a time |
| Exiled_Beauty03-16-04, 08:06 PM | *Exili never makes it back to her original home, but lingers in a town by the coast. She keeps to herself and gets through each day.* |
| ShadeShinobi03-16-04, 08:10 PM | After a few months, Sihgneg begins to scry on Exili and finds her location. He sets off to meet her on his wyvern, never stopping, eating and drinking in flight. Eventually, he reaches the small town and begins looking for Exili |
| Exiled_Beauty03-16-04, 08:14 PM | *Exili is walking about the streets, heading for the market to buy some spices and such. She walks along a narrow street silently, staring off into the distance... perhaps in a day-dream.* |
| ShadeShinobi03-16-04, 08:16 PM | Sihgneg isn't looking where he is going and bumps into Exili "Excuse me... Exili! It's you!" |
| Exiled_Beauty03-16-04, 08:18 PM | *Exili glances up and blinks, then smiles brightly.* "You're really here! This can't be real..." she exclaims, brushing back her hair and blushing a bit. |
| ShadeShinobi03-16-04, 08:27 PM | He grins broadly and says "So how have you been? You didn't think I was going to break my vow, did you?" |
| Exiled_Beauty03-16-04, 08:30 PM | "To tell you the truth... quite lonely," she replies, looking down from him, "it has seemed like forever since I was beside you. But I fear you have grown apart from me. Have you?" Her voice wavers slightly. |
| ShadeShinobi03-16-04, 08:32 PM | "No. I missed you every waking moment." He says this with a sincere expression on his face |
| Exiled_Beauty03-16-04, 08:35 PM | *Exili smiles, then finally comes into his arms, embracing him closely.* "I'm glad you're here... so incredibly glad. I never knew that I could love someone so much until now," she speaks softly. |
| ShadeShinobi03-16-04, 08:39 PM | Sihgneg returns the embrace and says "Ye, El. I missed you. But, uh, do you have a place to stay? I've barely eaten in days and haven't slept at all." |
| Exiled_Beauty03-16-04, 08:43 PM | "Why yes, I do. It's very small though. Let's go then," she says quickly, leading him back through the narrow alley. They come to a door on the side of a building. Exili walks right in and waits for him to follow. |
| ShadeShinobi03-16-04, 08:46 PM | He follows her inside and looks around |
| Exiled_Beauty03-16-04, 08:49 PM | "Heh, tiny place huh?" she comments, standing beside a small table. She gazes over at him lovingly. |
| ShadeShinobi03-16-04, 08:52 PM | "At least its shelter. When I was a boy, this would have been a luxury." He walks over to her and smiles |
| Exiled_Beauty03-16-04, 08:54 PM | *Exili tilts her head* "So why have you come back to see me? You've completed part of your task, I'm guessing," she starts. |
| ShadeShinobi03-16-04, 08:57 PM | "I came to see you because I love you. I destroyed Darkmyr, and Shardeus is free now. But it will be marked by evil forever now, I'm afraid." |
| Exiled_Beauty03-16-04, 08:59 PM | *Exili smiles again.* "I'm happy for you. But what happens now?" she asks innocently, edging closer to him. |
| ShadeShinobi03-16-04, 09:00 PM | "What do you want to happen?" |
| Exiled_Beauty03-16-04, 09:05 PM | *Exili blushes* "I... don't know. I mean I don't think..," Exili stammers, then shake her head, "I'm sorry. Oh, you're hungry aren't you? I'll cook something." *She turns away to prepare some food.* |
| ShadeShinobi03-16-04, 09:06 PM | "What were you going to say?" |
| Exiled_Beauty03-16-04, 09:10 PM | "Oh, nothing really," she says as she cooks, "I guess we could just live in the same town and be close friends...." She seems to be embarrassed about something. |
| ShadeShinobi03-16-04, 09:15 PM | He chuckles at her embarrasment over her statement "That's all?" |
| Exiled_Beauty03-16-04, 09:18 PM | "Well... I guess so..." she trails off. She blushes deeply and turns away. |
| ShadeShinobi03-16-04, 09:21 PM | He chuckles again and says "Wow, you sure get embarassed easy over something like that." |
| Exiled_Beauty03-16-04, 09:30 PM | "What?!" she stammers, "I am not.." She smiles, feeling silly. |
| ShadeShinobi03-16-04, 09:32 PM | "Sorry. Just teasing you a little bit." He smiles humorously |
| Exiled_Beauty03-16-04, 09:35 PM | "What do you think I was going to say?" she says, turning around and setting down a plate of cooked vegetables. |
| ShadeShinobi03-16-04, 09:37 PM | "I have no idea." |
| Exiled_Beauty03-16-04, 09:39 PM | "Ha! Good," she teases back, smiling brightly, and relieved that he couldn't see through to her real emotions. |
| ShadeShinobi03-16-04, 09:43 PM | He puts on a mock hurt expression and says "Well, I guess your idea is worth pursuing. But are you sure that we'll be just friends?"He asks, teasing again |
| Exiled_Beauty03-16-04, 09:45 PM | *Exili suddenly goes serious.* "No... I wouldn't want to be just friends with you. I wouldn't be able to stand it...I love you," she admits, looking at the ground. |
| ShadeShinobi03-16-04, 09:48 PM | "I guess I've teased you enough. So uh..." Now it is his turn to look embarassed as he trails off |
| Exiled_Beauty03-16-04, 09:49 PM | *Exili looks at him with a slight smile.* "What?" she asks calmly. |
| ShadeShinobi03-16-04, 09:52 PM | "Well... uh... I..." He stutters and tries again "Well... will you marry me, Exili?"He finally asks, blushing blood-red |
| Exiled_Beauty03-16-04, 09:56 PM | *Exili blinks then stands beside him, closer* "Of course I will, Sihgneg," she replies softly, in a whisper. |
| ShadeShinobi03-16-04, 10:00 PM | He stands and draws close to her "I've always wanted to settle down and get married. Give up the adventuring life maybe. Have a child and pass on my art. No more killing." |
| Exiled_Beauty03-16-04, 10:02 PM | "Yes... no more killing," she agrees happily, feeling content against him. |
| ShadeShinobi03-16-04, 10:06 PM | "Well, let's eat, and get some rest." He smiles and runs his hand through her long hair lovingly |
| Exiled_Beauty03-16-04, 10:10 PM | *Exili smiles, then sits at the cramped table.* "This is all I could make, sorry," she explains, looking to the plate she had set down. |
| ShadeShinobi03-16-04, 10:13 PM | "Believe me, after years of eating garbage and scraps, this is a feast. You learn to appreciate food when its in short supply." He eats the food in less than a minute "Thank you. Sorry to bother you even more, but do you have somewhere where I can sleep?" |
| Exiled_Beauty03-16-04, 10:30 PM | "Well... I only have one bed," she says, "But I could sleep on some blankets out here. You should get some sleep now." |
| ShadeShinobi03-16-04, 10:37 PM | "No. I'll sleep out here. You can sleep in the bed." |
| Exiled_Beauty03-16-04, 10:41 PM | "If you're sure," she replies, disappearing into her room. *She leaves some blankets out in the other room and then goes to sleep for the night.* *She wakes up in the morning and tip-toes out to find Sihgneg.* |
| ShadeShinobi03-17-04, 08:51 AM | He is lying on the floor in deep slumber, unmoving |
| Exiled_Beauty03-17-04, 10:10 AM | *Exili tilts her head, then smiles.* "I'll let him sleep," she whispers, and slips back into her room. |
| ShadeShinobi03-17-04, 10:29 PM | A few hours later, he stirs and gets up |
| Exiled_Beauty03-17-04, 10:31 PM | *Exili is lying casually at the edge of her bed, braiding a thin strand of her hair while thinking.* |
| ShadeShinobi03-18-04, 07:46 AM | He pokes his head in her room and says "Good mornin'." |
| Exiled_Beauty03-18-04, 10:10 AM | *Exili looks up and smiles warmly.* "Oh, come in," she beckons, happy to see him awake and well. |
| ShadeShinobi03-18-04, 04:40 PM | Sihgneg walks into the room and sits down beside her "Y'know... I have tons of gold from looting enemies, and nothing to do with it . What do you think about a home in the country, and a dojo?" |
| Exiled_Beauty03-18-04, 09:18 PM | *Exili smiles sweetly.* "Anything with you would be wonderful," she replies dreamily, "we can do anything. Well.. most anything." |
| ShadeShinobi03-18-04, 09:20 PM | He smiles at her and seems to go into deep thought, then says "Well, we could repair the old academy in Olindekaaraa..." |
| Exiled_Beauty03-18-04, 09:23 PM | *Exili leans forward and kisses him in mid-sentence, then draws back.* "Anything you want," she whispers, gently. |
| ShadeShinobi03-18-04, 09:26 PM | "We'll set off in a week then. For Olinava." |
| Exiled_Beauty03-18-04, 11:06 PM | "Sounds good to me, but what should I do with this place?" she replies. |
| ShadeShinobi03-19-04, 08:18 AM | "Hmmm... you could sell it. Or maybe you could just abandon it. Homeless people might use it for shelter." |
| Exiled_Beauty03-19-04, 04:37 PM | *Exili sighs.* "Then I guess we should get ready, huh?" she asks, looking up with a half smile. |
| ShadeShinobi03-19-04, 04:42 PM | "The Academy is in a perfect spot. It's in the forest on the coast. It's large enough to house hundreds of students. Hey, maybe you could teach healing there." |
| Exiled_Beauty03-19-04, 09:06 PM | "Hmm, you're right," she says, standing up off the bed and standing before him. "I don't need to bring much out of here, so we'll probably be on our way very soon," she adds while thinking about it. |
| ShadeShinobi03-19-04, 09:09 PM | "Okay." He gives her a quick kiss and walks out of the room and begins to pack his equipment |
| Exiled_Beauty03-19-04, 09:17 PM | *Exili finds her bag and packs up her few possesions quickly. She also packs up some dried food. When she done, she comes over to Sihgneg.* "Ready?" she asks softly. |
| ShadeShinobi03-19-04, 09:25 PM | "Ready as I'll ever be." He walks out of town and loads his equipment onto his wyvern "Ready to fly again?" |
| Exiled_Beauty03-19-04, 09:28 PM | "It's been awhile, but yes," she replies, making her way over to the beast. |
| ShadeShinobi03-19-04, 09:30 PM | He mounts and pats the dragon's back. "I never did tell you his name, did I? It's Ryukage." |
| Exiled_Beauty03-19-04, 09:35 PM | "Ah, no you didn't tell me. But it's fitting," replies Exili as she mounts. |
| ShadeShinobi03-19-04, 09:41 PM | (ooc: do you really speak Japanese?) Rykage takes off into the distance. About a week later, they land in Olindekaaraa and build the school and their new home (ooc: new thread, Knahk's Academy of Ninjutsu and Sorcery) |
| Exiled_Beauty03-19-04, 09:51 PM | (ooc: why yes.. i do ^_^ do you? btw, we're quitting this thread?) |
| ShadeShinobi03-19-04, 09:55 PM | OOC: Yeah, I already posted the other one. I speak a little Japanese, but not very well. Ryu is dragon and kage is shadow, isn't it? |
| Exiled_Beauty03-19-04, 09:57 PM | (Ryu is a type of dragon. tatsu is just a dragon. or at least a traditional dragon. but yeah ^_^) |
