| Adragonia's eyes narrowed before they closed. "You can feel it too, can't you? This city is more of a hell than the place I send them to. Even the Netherealm is more quiet than this. I can't understand why these people struggle so much to have such a peaceful lives. It will all end in war anyway." She said in a tone that seemed more like pity, something that was not usual from her. She obviously called a lot of attention. Was it because of her elegant and graceful appearence, or because of the aura she emaned? That was a question that couldn't be answered. However, Adragonia's appearence was nothing like the ones the Myths described. Harversters were described as incontrolable forcers of nature with appearences that resembled a huge mouth, devouring anything on its way. Her eyes slowly openned and settled down on her Knight-Commander. "Why don't you speak? Have you made a vote of silence for your people? Or is it that sadness inside you is so much that you cannot bring the words out of you anymore?" She asked, curiously. Karandras was unline most of the people she killed and brought back. Most of them would serve her with an angry expression and tone, but Karandras served her like a true knight, without saying anything or expressing his emotions about it. |

| He nodded to her question when she asked if he could feel it too, he had ofcourse noticed that Adragonia was a beautiful and graceful person, but, this attention was not good from his point of view he had to be on guard more, he simply shrug his head in disapointment when she told him about the harvesters, how they were viewed, but he could see the resemblence, she did kill all in her path, turn them to her servants, so he could see how it resembled that, but it couldnt be farther from the truth, he had learned that she actually didnt like killing everything, she felt bad for anything she killed, he didnt know wether he thought she was a hypocrite or gentle, but this was probaly one of her only redeeming qualities for him, he simply didnt reply to her question, he just kept following her, looking down on the ground. |

| She slowly took her eyes away from him and into a small magician. The magician had a large crowd around him and his magics were very good, making most think that he was a real mage. Adragonia walked forth and looked towards the man's magics with a curious expression that couldn't be read. However, the people that knew her would easily know that she was interested. Her eyes were settled on the magician and when he ended one of his tricks, Adragonia's eyes widened slightly. "H-How can he do that?" She questioned as the man once more did a trick with cards. The tricks were easy but the magician was clearly good at making them, since they could be barely noticed at all. Adragonia's eyes were settled on the man as she looked phazed by what she was seeing, which was almost hilarious due to her knowloadge of magic. She searched in her almost infinite memory, where she had seen that before, but she couldn't find it anywhere which only made her more intrigued. She cocked her head as the magician finished another trick. |

| "Check his sleeves, you ignorant sow." The voiced carried from the rear of the crowd, belonging to thin young man sitting cocked sideways on a barrel of wine beside a merchant's tent. The boy glares lazily at the false wizard, lifting a limp finger and nodding at the performer's coat. "The Queen herself couldn't tell how many of those 'disappearing' trinkets he has stashed away in there." |
| Karandras slight began to shake from her expression, was this really the girl that killed all his people, she was intrigued by mere parlour tricks, this made him trying hard to choke back a laughter, and yet, he also found this very cute, even if he hated what she was doing, he himself had even taken the time learn very little of this entertain his son for a time, so he stood in front of her and got her attention, then he put his hand behind her ear and once he pulled it out he had a coin in his hand, this trick seemed to work on his son when he was young, but then he dropped the coin, crap!, he had gotten friendly with her, was this her spell or his personal feelings, what was going on? he looked at his own hands with a puzzled look, these hands sodden in blood was getting friendly with the person that made them bloody to begin with? |

| At first, Adragonia slightly leaned back, but once he had taken the coin, her eyes once more widened slightly. "H-hey, can you teach me that?" She accidentaly let out before she looked away. Noticing him drop the coin, she herself dropped down to take it. She looked at the coin with a intrigued expression and analytical eyes. There were no irregularities with it. She grunted slightly in anger. Not knowing what was that made her slightly angered as she gave Karandras the coin and walked away. As she walked, she noticed the boy. "Might I know who are you, young boy?" Her graceful, yet blank tone was slightly surprising, considering that this woman was the one that was just tricked by the fake magician. Her red blank look was placed directly at the boy as got away from the crowd. |

| He took the coin and put it in his pocket he followed Adragonia, and stepped up behind her as she was adressing the young man but he couldnt think of why he used a trick, he used to do with his son, on the woman that would have... wait a minute, his son was still alive!, he wasnt in eternum when the attack hit, he was here!, he was overjoyed but at the same time his armor started taking notice of what he thought off, and then began whispering the very same words as they whispered when he callously murdered his people. "Kill him!, murder him, tear him to pieces!, cut his head off!, feed it carrion!, all these things repeating over and over inside his mind, but he simply did nothing, and kept by the Adragonia side. |

| "Hm?" The boy looked about in inquisition, searching a moment for who ever it was Adragonia must certainly be referring to. Noticing her square set gaze, he points back upon himself curiously. "Oh, me? Ah, well, where do I start? 'The Darkness Scamp of the Tall Grasses', 'Afterbirth of the Wooded Witch', 'That Nefarious Little Scamp that Un-Pantsed the Fair Prince Neil and Made off with His Mother's Rations and a Small Pouch of Cat Flesh'. Or was it a box of rat meat? It's hard to keep track of all your names when you have so many as I." He runs his fingers through his fine blonde hair, the locks turning black as his digits move through them before being thrust forward toward Adragonia in a gesture to shake. "I suppose for the time being you can call me Reese. It has a nice ring to it, or at least that's what the fat man over beside the cabbage wagon said as I was siphoning off silver pieces from his wife's hand purse." |
| Adragonia's analytical, almost blank stare at his hand made an akward, long silence before she hesitantly moved her hand to shake his hand as well. "So, you are a thief?" She asked in a blank expression and almost unnoticeable sarcasm on her voice. She took her hand away after shaking his and took a glance on the fat man that Reese apparently mentioned. "Well, it was a pleasure to meet you. I hope we do not meet again." She said in a casual tone. However, before she was to leave, she once more turned towards him, carrying a peculiar question. "Do you happen to know someone who makes weapons here, Reese?" She questioned, turning her eyes right towards him once more. Her voice was more of an intrigued person. She was looking for someone who made weapons in the marketplace. Those weapons could be useful for her. |

| Karandras kept a very watchful eye on the thief, he didnt take his eyes of him for a second, and kept a clear view of his entire body, as they shook hands Karandras' hand loomed threateningly over his sword on his back, but he didnt pull it from its scabbard, if this man made one wrong move, he was ready to take his head clean off, he didnt know why he was this protective of Adragonia, wether it was the spell or not he didnt care, he just had a strong feeling that he needed to protect Adragonia. |

| "What?!" huffs the boy as he reels back with contemptuous pride. "A thief? You offend me. I did in fact take the coins from the bovine's wife, but I am no thief. You see they weren't stolen for my fortune, but rather stuffed into the pocket of her dearest blob of lard. I'd planned to follow them home and bear fortunate witness to the inevitably intriguing exchange of pleasantries between them when she finds out her oblivious grass grazer has been taking peaks into her pocket book. It would make for a fine story I'd wager. As to your weapons," he adds, hopping off the barrel of liquor and walking past the two of them. He stops a few paces behind them, turning and shrugging his shoulders. "This is the Reaper's marketplace. Be it the warmth of a creature we gentlemen call ladies, the fragrant aroma and delectable flavor of the finest foods, or the joys those of us without touch or taste can readily enjoy, it can be found here in abundance. You need know only were to look." He claps his hands together, pointing at the commander and her sword. "You two seem like a very interesting pair. I could escort you about her highness's domain if you'd allow me to travel with you afterward. Stalking fat bastards and their greedy wives can only maintain its flare for so long." (Is there a specific place you're wanting him to tell you guys about? I think I remember someone making a blacksmith character. Is that where you wanna end up?) |
| (Yeah, I created him. It would be in the middle of the Marketplace xD) Adragonia's blank expression, analytical glare and bored stance kept itself until the end of the boy's long speech. For some reason, she found this boy someone who was not there just to steal things. His speech showed that he wasn't kidding about seeing the results of his job. "You seem to know your way around, lead me to the best blacksmith in the city. I want to see the best weapons they have in this place." She said, again with her own blank expression. This boy was surely interesting, but she had no time to play around with him and see what other activities he had put on. She came her to study the place and that was what she was going to do. |

| (We gonna meet the son of Leonidas?, thats not a good idea xD) Karandras just gripped his sword once he started doing his big theatrical speech, he wasnt threatened by the thief, but, he just didnt trust him, and wouldnt keep him closer than swords length, if Adragonia was trully gonna work with this man, then he would have a problem, because he would have to fight the whispers in his helmet on an almost daily basis; Kill him, tear him!, rip him to pieces, murder, murder!, destroy!, all these kept playing over and over, he wasnt sure wether he was still thinking of his son, or wether the whispers meant the man in front of him, he tried to shut out the whispers, but a constant whispering in his mind, was slowly working to turn him mad, and he had learned to follow the whispers, with a grunt he slightly began to pull out his sword, he still grunted in pain as the whispers continued and he finally said something. "Destroy..." In almost a whispery tone. "Kill... Kill everything..." He said in a dark and rough voice, it sounded so dark that it almost didnt seem human at all. "I must kill..." He reffered to his son, he couldnt get the picture out of his mind, of his son being alive and thats why his earlier order to kill all elvenkind triggered his armor. |

| With a bent brow and a curious sneer, the boy now known as Reese nods to Adragonia's jittering body guard. "Are you taken with fever?" he asks. Then, shrugging and gesturing at his own slender form, "I'm unarmed you know, and what is a boy so frail of figure to do against a soldier so stout as you?" Flopping his hand left to right, he dismisses the apparent mistrust. "If it's weapons you two seek, then you'll find them in the center of this market. Oh! Could I come with you? The Crafter has always shown such a kind face, even to we, the detested. A meeting with him could possibly make this dour day into a tale worth telling." |
| Adragonia noticed Karandras suddenly losing his composure. In order to keep him on control of himself, she decided to do him a favor. "This will be the only time I will do this, I hope I made myself clear." She said, snapping her fingers and releasing the armor's control over him, this would shut down the whisperings on his mind. She was hoping that he wouldn't run away and make her activate it once more but she still kept a severe expression. Her eyes were settled on Karandras before she took a quick glance on Reese and spoke once more. "I don't know much of this Market, please lead the way." She said, having her eyes now settled onto the boy once more. She still took quick glances on Karandras as she awaited for the boy's response, wanting to see how his reaction would be. |

| He couldnt hear what she said, but the whispers suddenly stopped in the moment his head began to hurt so much he wanted to split his own skull, but then he looked at Adragonia, knowing that she had something to do with this, why did she help him?, wasnt he just a useless tool for her to use and despose off then why did she help him?, he stood up, he didnt even think about running away, the whispers and voices in his mind had already stopped any signs of freedom, his mind was broken, and his only purpose now was to serve Adragonia, till the day he would meet his end, but he made a mental note, the day he would die, would be to save Adragonia from a great perril to her life, but why?, why did he go to such lengths to defend the murderer of his people, not even he knew why, guess he had some twisted sense of need, he needed her, thats all he knew, he stood up and released his sword, though he still didnt trust the thief, always keep a thief in arms reach, or rather swords reach so you could cut his head off if required, he followed them. |

| As they walked, Adragonia's expressions were blank once more. She looked around the marketplace, looking at all the stores and people around her. All these living beings, she was not used to being this close to the crowd and her eyes were unsettling. She was looking all around with the same blank expressions as she walked around, following the boy. However, as they were walking, Adragonia's eyes catched something that called her attention once more. A small, poor man that was playing a piano inside a store. Apparently, the man was testing the piano, since he was an excellent player. Her eyes were settled on the man as she heard the sound of the piano, making her stop her tracks and watch attently. As the man played the piano, Adragonia's eyes were settled on his fingers, moving to each note with astonishing agility. She followed the man's fingers with a very attentive sight as she studied the song. |

| The Knight was following Adragonia and as she came to another halt, this time looking at a piano player, he simply stood behind her, like a living suit of armor, making sure that no one got close enough to harm her in anyway, because that was after all what he was ressurected for, to protect her from any and all harm, and kill all her enemies, but he actually found himself preffering to do the former, as he had made a clear range of the people and Adragonia, he simply walked up to her and placed a hand gently on her shoulder, which was unlike him, he did it in a form of consolation, but for what was not known. |
| "Dont wait for the knight in shining armour to come and save you, be the knight in shining armour, and save yourself." - American newscaster responding to the Anonymous group. |
| Adragonia's eyes were still settled on the poor man, playing the piano calmly. Her eyes followed his fingers in a speedy sequence and, when the man finally finished playing, he was kicked out of the store, apparently because he was unable to buy the piano himself. Feeling the touch on her shoulder after a long time it had been there, Adragonia glanced upon Karandras, having her red eyes once more settled upon the store. Not saying anything, she went inside the store and talked towards the owner of the shop. "Excuse me, what is that instrument?" She questioned, pointing towards the piano. Her tone was soft, softer than normal. However, she was still as blank and emotionless as ever. The owner of the shop looked towards her with a deadpanned expression. "That's... A piano, milady. Have you never saw one?" The man questioned in desbelief. His tone carried slight mock. "Could it be that you're from a stupid tribe that lives up on those mountains and have no idea of what a golden coin is?" The man mocked, this time, releasing a laugh as he looked towards the man beside him, that laughed with him. Adragonia's blank expression was unchanged. She was apparently taking the two men of the shop lightly. "How much does it cost?" She questioned to the owner of the shop, who waved his hand dismissevely. "More than you can pay." He responded arrogantly, making Adragonia close her eyes to endure the wish to kill him. Adragonia, deciding not to take this any further, went towards the piano and slowly touched one of the notes. releasing a slight smile that was soon after replaced by her normal blank expression. |
| Through me the way is to the city dolent; Through me the way is to eternal dole; Through me the way among the people lost. Justice incited my sublime Creator; - Divine Comedy, Inferno, Canto III. |
| Karrandras followed her inside the store, his black armor standing out tremendiously, and as she asked a simply question with a reply of mockery, and as she simply ignored it, so did he, then as she asked how much it could cost, and the response she was given, he snapped, he looked over at Adragonia, he spoke for the first time with his normal voice, though it was much younger than when he was alive, and the question made the two store clerks tremble because of the way he asked. "Do I have your permission to kill these fools?" He looked at Adragonia, this was the first time he spoke, but he simply could not let this stand, he then looked at the store owners and dropped a pouch on the table. "This should more than cover it, please excuse yourselves and begone." The coin pouch was full to the brim and it was all gold, though he paid the men he wanted to pay them with his sword instead, but he settled for making his mistress happy, after they took the coins he walked over to Adragonia without her noticing he had paid. "The store clerks apologized for their behaviour and as an apology gave you this piano." The fact he was talking to her was a sign that he had begun trusting her, and even though he lied to her, he didnt want her to know that he bought it for her. |

| Adragonia, who was looking at the instrument, responded with a humble nod. "Strange how people suddenly change their minds... No point in dwelling in it, though." She mused, seating herself on the piano. Her limp fingers laying on the multiple notes gently. Adragonia slowly started to play the same song the man played before, having the same movements, but in a slower pace. She was obviously a faster learner, but playing a the piano was something far from her expectations. The music was, however, darker than before. She only played for a few seconds before she stood up and snapped her fingers, making the piano disappear. "Well... It's in my room now." She said, blankly expressing herself once more. She then turned herself towards the exit and walked out, having herself sighing and going towards the place the boy told her to go, the center of the market. Her slowly paced steps were only to wait for her knight. Once he was in reach of her voice, she spoke once more. "So many die in a normal day... I question myself if what I am doing is really different from what they do to themselves..." She mused, more to herself, but also awating for a response from Karandras. |

| He stood and stared as her play, even though Karandras knew it was played darkly, but to him it couldnt be more beautiful, because he knew that it amused her to do so, not only because she was wearing that disinterested facade as usual, but because he saw the corner of her mouth twist into a smile, that was actually why he bought it, because he saw her smile, which he pretty much thought was a rarity worth alot of gold, and if it made her happy, then that was what was important, then he followed her out while thinking, why was he getting so fond of her?, it escaped him, he couldnt believe it if he was actually falling for her small kindnesses, she killed his people, but the way she was talking and acting around stuff that got her interest, was... Unique he had never experienced the happiness of bringing happiness to another, he was a king yes, but he never saw how happy people were for the small things, well until he died, but then as she spoke to him he replied. "Mortals, no matter of color, race, and virtues, all kill eachother and discriminate against eachother, its a matter of history, but its wrong regardless." He said nothing more but kept staring at her waiting for a response. |
| "Dont wait for the knight in shining armour to come and save you, be the knight in shining armour, and save yourself." - American newscaster responding to the Anonymous group. |
| Adragonia's expression was as blank as ever, the same emotionless face. "They kill, and kill, and kill... Until there's nothing more to kill. Until nothing is worth a death. They can't see time in a scope, they can only see it on the horizon." She said in a tone that was unreadable. As they reached the center of the market, the many poor people revolved around the place that was apparently a small workshop. In front the workshop was a man that seemed proud, but kind. His clothes were the same as any other poor vilager, a ragged cloth on his back with his normal staff. The Crafter, Richard, was there, building yet another machine for the good of the people. "Calm down everyone, he can't work as five people. You need to wait in line like everyone else." His guards announced. The number of people around the workshop was astonishing and the fact that every single one of the were poor was even more surprising. As Richard finished his job, Adragonia looked from afar, standing far from the crowd as she looked towards Richard's job. "So, that man is the Crafter... He doesn't seem as much. I was expecting more." She said in a blank tone, having her eyes once more settled on him. Adragonia's red eyes was something quite abnormal. It's bright was strong enough so that it could even shine in the presence of the sun, though not much. However, those eyes were more analytical than anything else. Studying everything, everyone in her surroundings, like an eagle. |

| When Karandras saw The Crafter he almost immediately knew who it was and he fell terribly silent, my son is The Crafter?, its good I am younger he might not recognise me when I am this young and have faced covered, he must not know that I am still alive... Undead... Whatever the hell I am, so he stopped besides Adragonia as she stopped, and he wasnt sure what to do so he decided to ask for her advice and stepped in front of her taking of his helmet so she could see his face, but kept his back to his son, but then remembered, this woman's goal was to kill his people so if she knew that this man was his son, she would probally kill him because his species was due to extermination, but he couldnt just stand still here infront of her that would be suspicious so he decided on doing the first thing that came to mind, but was shocked by what he did, he kissed her, short and briefly on the lips, he didnt really think about it, he just did it. |
| "Dont wait for the knight in shining armour to come and save you, be the knight in shining armour, and save yourself." - American newscaster responding to the Anonymous group. |
| At first, Adragonia cocked her head at Karandras' sudden movements. That made her suspicious. However, seeing how silent he was, she didn't understood very well. She simply stood there, looking towards him with a confused expression. In the moment he moved towards her, she layed her hand on his chest, almost stopping him, had she pressed it foward, she would have, but she didn't. When he finally moved away, Adragonia's blank expression were once more there. "So that's how it feels... It's strange. Why have you done that?" She questioned, muttering the first part of the setence for herself. She looked away from him, awaiting for his response as her cheeks reddened slightly. A side rarely shown by her. The most strange fact, was that she had her fingers laid on her lips, as if still holding the sensation on it. |

| He hadnt thought that her lips could have been so soft, it almost didnt seem possible, he almost didnt believe it, but as he saw her reaction to the fact that he had kissed her he believed and her question with a slight blush on her cheek made him come to the realisation that he wasnt falling for her, he had already fallen for her, this he almost didnt believe aswell, but he still saw her touching her lips after this kiss, could he really have fallen for a harvester?, the irony, the man who's people are slain and forced to slay for the same woman falls in love with her, he then replied. "Believe its because I have come to care about you... No I know its because I have fallen in love with you." He almost couldnt believe the words coming out of his own mouth, but it was nothing but the blatant truth. |
| "Dont wait for the knight in shining armour to come and save you, be the knight in shining armour, and save yourself." - American newscaster responding to the Anonymous group. |
| Adragonia closed her eyes. "That's an overstatement." She declared bluntly. Though her cheeks had reddened slightly, she was as cold as ice. Blank as white, she walked ahead. "Love? That will slow me down... I can't sacrifice more than I already have." She thought to herself, nodding in agreement with her thoughts. "That was just... A delusion. You've not fallen for me, it's just what you think. You must be insane because of the armor. Don't ever say that anymore." She declared, even more coldly that before. She had no time for love, something like that was useless for her... So she thought. The fact that she was still thouching her lips to relieve herself of the sensation just made her statement even more confusing. She still walked foward, going towards The Crafter. She openned her way between the poor people with her own strength. "Excuse me, I need to talk with that man. I have important business." She said, but the man did not hear her. She, however, simply walked by him, pulling him away from her. Richard, seeing the confusion, looked away from his work and towards the crowd, with Adragonia going in her direction. He waved his hands for the guard to let her be and smiled kindly towards her. Having his job finished, he delivered it to the crowd, that finally leaved the place, all of them smiling happily. He then looked towards Adragonia, smiling his usual smile. "How can I help you, miss?" He questioned. Adragonia looked towards the weapons and she needed to say nothing more. "Oh, those? Sorry, I don't make them anymore. Weapons feed the war. I can only make them in the right forge." He responded for her silent expressions. Adragonia blankly looked towards Richard with a suspicion on her mind. She felt something from the boy, something strange. However, she did not dwelled on it.She took a few steps away and spoke. "I am looking for weapons. Coin is not the problem. If you can make them, I will give you whatever you want." She said, having her blank eyes settled on Richard's kind smile. |

| He smiled and also closed his eyes at her declaration, the fact of that matter was that she was right, as she left he was still standing there thinking, it might be the armor... He thought to himself and looked up in the sky, but wait his armor wasnt active, so that means what he was feeling right now was the truth, and she must know that there will be nothing but tragedy in this kind of relationship, but even so he knew his feelings was real but she had ordered... No it wasnt an order, he was confused, fact of the matter was that she actually seemed pleased that he said he loved her, atleast it seemed like that, because she blushed, even though it was faint and coveted by her harsh and cruel words, but if it was such a problem for her, why didnt she reactivate her spell on his armor?, everything she said contradicted what she did, so would he really still try and make this work?, would he try to bring some humanity back to this harvester, the worst thing she can do to stop him is reactivate the spell on his armor, because he was already dead, so she couldnt kill him, this needed to be thought over very carefully and he turned around and followed after her, putting his helmet back on as he did. |

| Richard smiled kindly as his answer contradicted itself. "I can't make weapons, I already told you. I don't want to flame the war more than it already is. I want to help people survive. That's what I want to do." He said calmly, his kind smile unchanged. Adragonia was quiet, analysing the boy with her red cold eyes. "Let me ask you something boy, what is your name, where do you come from?" She questioned, not letting her thought go away. She was suspicious of this boy, thinking that he might be something more than he seemed but Richard was a good player, he wouldn't give in like that. "Please, miss. I am from the high mountains of the High Lands. Those lands are for the most nobles of all. However, I don't wish to live a life of a noble. Real nobles show their nobility in their personalities, not in their clothes or in their homes." He responded, smiling kindly as he did so. His smile was infuriating for Adragonia, something she hated. Happiness for no reason. Why was this man so kind? It reminded her of Leonidas... "You're elven..." She bluntly said, looking with a dead serious expression. Richard's smile slightly fainted before he responded her with a nod. Adragonia's smirk surfaced finally. Having her eyes locked on his, she smirked with a deadly expression. "Can we talk in private?" She questioned, following Richard, who nodded calmly, towards the inner of his workshop. As she followed him, Adragonia took quick glances on Karandras as she did so. Her expression was almost impossible to read. A smirk with a thinking expression, it didn't really fitted one with another. When she was alone with Richard, Karandras and herself on a room, she unsheathed her sword and aimed it at Richard's neck. Richard was unable to do anything, he just raised his hands and still smiled. "W-what's the meaning of this, miss? Are you some kind of assassin? Rebel forces?" Richard questioned, confused to her actions. Adragonia did not responded him, she simply readied her mouth to let out the final words. |

| The moment he sensed Adragonia draw her sword it was like he heard the echo of her sword pulling out of the scabbard signifying she was in danger, but, he knew it wasnt she that was in danger, and as Karandras used his eleven speed, and beat down the door but he was so fast the others couldnt see it, only the two that saw him come in could, he stood between the two, his helmet still on, he was faced towards Adragonia, he knew she was either planning on making him hate her, or showing him the error of his ways but he simply walked towards Adragonia, straight into her sword, he kept walking forward even as he felt the sword pierce his heart, his blood running down on her hands, giving a familiar feeling that she had felt once before. "Dont..." He said calmly like nothing was wrong, he placed both his hands on her shoulders. "I beg you, my race is dead, he is the last one left, he cant advance our species as we are already dead, he is alone, there is no need for you to kill him." His blood was not red, it was black, he never moved his eyes from Adragonia, if she wanted an excuse to activate the spell inside him, she now had it, but he couldnt let her kill his son, he stepped back out of the sword and knelt on both knees in front of Adragonia, I beg you dont kill him..." His head bowed towards her her sword held in his hand by his neck. "If you want to kill something, Slay me." His voice carried a twinge of sadness even regret as he admitted defeat, this would be the last time he would ever speak to Adragonia, if she killed Richard or not, he would never again talk to her, as she now reaffirmed his hatred towards everything she was and stood for. |

| Adragonia's eyes showed confusion. For the first time, she couldn't choose what to do. Her actions would cost heavily on her. She looked towards Richard, who still did not fully understood the situation and simply watched it unfurl, with his eyes on pure confusion as well. Adragonia glared at Karandras, looking once more towards Richard. "Damn you..." She said, turning her back and walking away. As she did so, something was clearly different. A small mark on her left shoulder started to shine. So strongly, the light passed through her clothes. She quickly turned herself towards Karandras and Richard, carrying a heavy glare. "You can stay with him. I have no need for you anymore. Live the rest of your undead life with the last of your race." She said, turning away and walking towards the crowd. Her disctintive body clearing out in the middle of them. Her last statement carried something that someone would never think she would have, doubt, hatred and pity. As she walked away, her expressions coudn't be read and the disctintive mark on her back, shining and calling a lot of attention before she went inside an alley and went back to Eternum. |

| He stands up for the first time he had just hoped she would have activated the spell on him as she walked outside Karandras didnt waste a second of looking at his son, he ran after her, why am I running to her? I was practicly just freed so why am I running to her?, he looked around once she had gotten outside, but she had vanished in the crowd, he then felt her presence completely disapear from the town, and he bowed his head and followed her move, he walked up to an alleyway away from all the others and teleported to Eternum, not knowing that this was where she teleported to, but he thought that she would eventually. (Leave to eternum to continue?) |
