Subject: There we go.
"What was a mistake? It's okay, tell me." He said, as he stroked his free hand from the scar on her neck up to her cheek and back down again.

Subject: Oh dear, this is incredibly long...
"Lyca, Ciridia, Angel, Erina... All of you want to tell me what it is you're thinking. You keep trying to fool yourself just because you think Miv will find out, and you don't want to hurt her. But nothing like that will happen. I am not going to tell anyone what you are about to say to me." D'Artigo reaches forward with his other hand, and gently strokes the two small dots on her neck where he had bitten her. "Some wounds heal better when they are out in the open, not concealed from everyone."

D'Artigo peered deeper into her eyes. "But you do Erina. You do... you just don't want to admit it. Why not?"

Subject: Oh come on.
Turning her face to look back at him, D'Artigo looked into her eyes with his golden ones. "Listen Lyca... no, Erina... look into my eyes, and tell me everything. It'll be alright."

Subject: The touch is the key.
Taking half a step forward and reaching his hand out to gently brush Ciridia's cheek, D'Artigo whispers, "Then tell me Lyca. Tell me all of it."

Subject: The convenient obstacle...
Stopping short of Ciridia, about an arm and a half away, D'Artigo spoke in his sickly sweet voice. "Don't you want to let it all out? Don't you want to let everything out, so that nothing hides away? That makes me feel better. Don't you want to feel better?"

Topic: The Embodiment Q&A
Subject: Hey Brom...
Just as a question, but as a hired man of the king or whatever, do I have some sort of badge to identify me? Or would I have anything like that because of a previous job or something? Just to identify myself as a person of some authority.

Subject: But why?
Keeping with his advance, D'Artigo continues pressing. "But why? Information is a powerful thing Lyca... why would you not share a powerful thing with people who you trust? The whole reason you brought me out here was so you could open up without being embarrassed... so open up."

Subject: Why not?
Taking a step towards her, with his arms out at his sides, D'Artigo asks, "But why? Have I not been a good enough friend to you to know your secrets? Are you denying me the knowledge, only to turn around and tell Kitten, or Pale Rose? Why Lyca? Why not tell me?"

"Well then, what is it Lyca? Tell me." D'Artigo shifted his head to the side, his hair flowing down around his face. His eyes begin shifting, from their pale blue-grey to a brilliant golden hue. She was holding something back... but what?

"But just in case it's not the same, humour me. What image is going through your head? I doubt it's a bone? Maybe a hunk of meat?"

D'Artigo started laughing. "Lyca, if you knew how many times I've had this almost identical conversation, you'd find this funny as well."

"But I tell you this - things can hurt on the inside if you stay closed." D'Artigo shrugs, moving no closer.

D'Artigo raised his eyebrow that was exposed. "Oh? And what urges might those be? Do tell Lyca."

Subject: You growl at me?
D'Artigo had practiced his growl before. It was a lot easier, and safer, than getting into a fight with the usual drunk in a bar. No puppy's growl was going to scare him off. In fact, he found it amusing that she would try it.
"Grr... so the puppy wants to play does she?"

Topic: Of Dragons and Men Questions and Answers
Subject: Alright everyone.
Update is in.
Dragonblood, is sunday a good update day for you, or are you unable to post before then?
Also, DM, regarding your question about how Linus could decipher Dragons, there are two major factors affecting such. One is sheer obsession. Another, is my own knowledge, and will be revealed later in the game.

Topic: Of Dragons and Men.
Subject: Game Post.
The Misty Isle | Year 593 NDE
Selunine strides past Arianna through the open doors of the tower. As she exits, the mists swirl around her, the cool dampness greeting her soft skin. The wind whipped at her face, tossing her hair about. All of these new sensations, which seemed so distant inside the tower, were all now very, very real.
From the doorway, Arianna gazed at you through her mask. As Selunine said her farewell, and promised to return, Arianna simply turned away, and closed the large, wooden doors. The loud *thud* of the doors closing had never sounded so final, but Selunine was determined to save the outside world, and return to tell of it.
Walking along to the docks, empty and lonely, Selunine prepared a simple one person ship. No simple rowboat, this ship was complete with sails, rudder, cabin, and bow, though all of the necessary components were accessible from the steering wheel at the stern of the ship. The figurehead - a fearsome creature, dragonlike in appearance, though not resembling the illustrations which she had seen in the tower - seemed poised to pounce at anything which appeared in front of it.
Boarding the ship, Selunine stowed her possessions in the cabin, and she weighed anchor, and began sailing. The ship was very simple to use, being geared towards the magical folk of the island rather than the rough men of the sea. Sailing by, Selunine saw many others out in boats, fishing to provide fish for the other inhabitants of the island. However, she was not going out to fish. Selunine passed those ships, heading out into the unknown world outside the island.
The mists began to get thicker the further she traveled away from the isle. Even with he keen eyes, Selunine soon found herself unable to see. The ship, however, had it's own idea of where to go, almost guiding her through the mists. After what seemed like 30 minutes, Selunine saw the mists begin to thin out. Emerging completely from the mists Selunine found herself in a world of blue. The crystal clear ocean surrounded her. Continuing on, Selunine marveled at the outside world. The sound of sea gulls greeted her, along with the gentle crashing of the water on some rocks. It seemed so peaceful.
Suddenly, she fell into a shadow. The sun had just been beaming down on her, what had happened? Turning her head, Selunine saw a massive wave that had simply appeared from nowhere, coming from the exact same route she had just traveled - could this be the reason why nobody had returned? There was no way to avoid it, though she tried. The wave picked her ship up and carried it. Suddenly, as land came into view, Selunine and her ship began descending with the wave. As the impact hit, Selunine blacked out.
With light coming back into her world, Selunine found herself amid a pile of wooden shrapnel, in the middle of a forest. A small dog was licking her face.

Outside the Cave Near Badon | Year 593 NDE
Morassenarion followed the cloaked man, though due to her keen sense of hearing, she realized that she was being followed. It was that man who she had seen entering the city as they had been leaving. Hmm... how to lose him... Walking behind the cloaked man, she suddenly grabs him, and jumps through the shadows, coming up a little ways away from their original location, but enough to stump the pursuer. Peering out from behind a nearby tree, she sees the pursuer looking around for where the two people he had been following so recently had gone. Giving up the search for you two, he continues on.
"Now what was that for? Oi tell ya miss, that wasn't the most pleasant experience of me life. Now thanks to that little set back, we'll just have to keep goin' now. Wait a sec, who's that?" Pointing, your friend indicates the person who had been following the man following you. It seemed as though they knew each other. "Eh, it's not important. Let's get goin' then." With that he leads off in another direction. "No sense letting them in on our secret eh miss? Oi'm pretty sure I know a shortcut there. We'll beat them there, Oi tell ya."
True to his word, when you arrived at the cave, neither of the two people that had been behind you are anywhere in sight. It would seem as though they got lost. At the mouth of the cave, Mora decided to take out her panpipes and play a song, in an attempt to lure the creature out from it's hiding location. It would be safer that way, she assumed.
"What? You're not even going in? Oi bring ya all the way out here, and you aren't going in? You're a waste of my time you is. Oi'm gonna leave, before that dragon comes out and spits at me again." With that the cloaked stranger turns around and walks away.
Your tune echoes throughout the cave, traveling all the way down so it would seem. Through the darkness, you can see a moving figure, first immensely large, though that must just be a shadow, trick of the light, for as it gets nearer the mouth of the cave, it's size reduces, until finally the light hits, and a frail looking female human emerges from the cave. Looking around, as though taking in the beauty of the world, like a newborn child would, she turns her head to you. In a weak voice, she says:
"Is that... you, playing the music? It's... lovely..." Her voice sounds forced, and pained, and as she finishes speaking, she falls to the ground, grunting. "Oh... I guess I'm more tired... than I thought..."
The Holy City of Alimar | Year 593 NDE
Lekain smiles. "Very well Trillion, we shall travel through the History section, then pay a visit to the Melios' display. I'm sure you will find both quite interesting. I, of course will also offer my own insight to the stories. Shall we?"
Taking the northeast corridor, Lekain takes you through an extravagantly painted hallway, with pictures depicting what many guess Melios looked like, the gods taking his essence, the creation of intelligent life, the war, the banishing, and ending with the present day. While walking through, Lekain narrates the passing of time.
"In the beginning, there were the gods, and Melios. These beings eventually disputed, then Melios' essence was taken and split in order to create the creatures of that time, our ancestors. Through work and dedication, our ancestors forged an alliance with the dragons of that time. However, over the course of centuries, this alliance became forgotten. The war was triggered by dragons, of course, and we lost many people in their first raid. They were wrong in their actions and accusations however. They said we had... oh what did the ancient texts say... something along the lines of "tainted the balance of the world by colonizing their lands." The self obsessed beasts thought they had dominance over the land, and attacked us. We would not stand for it."
"Of course, thanks to the Ten Heroes put an end to that soon enough. With one mighty push, they halted the dragons advances, and created a portal to banish them. This portal was then sunk, just off the coast of what is now Badon. Time has mostly forgotten them. Dragons are no longer a possibility on this Plane. And so, we are saved from another perilous war in the future."
At then end of the hallway, you realize it was all a loop, and you are back in the central room. "Alright, you said you were also interested in Melios? Very well, let us go." Heading towards the western hallway, Lekain once again begins talking.
"Now, my knowledge of Melios is by no means complete, but nobody has complete knowledge of him. However, there is enough to make this display. So, let us begin. First, this is what Melios was assumed to look like." As Lekain gestures to a titanic sculpture "Of course, this is all simply speculation, since only the gods know what he really looked like. But, it puts a picture into people's minds. Not much was heard about him throughout time except for one brief mention during the war - this is an actual quote from the Hero Taori's journal he kept during the war:
These are strange times, my good friend. This world was once sane - man and dragon living hand in hand. Now nothing makes sense. Why, just this day, I witnessed a strange sight indeed. An entire legion of men, elves, and dwarves, clad in a golden armour, bearing a massive standard with an M on it. They called themselves the Fang of Melios, believing the ancient one would grant them strength in the upcoming battle.
"As you can see, Trillion. Quite strange indeed." Lekain looked at the clock which stood across from the sculpture. "Oh my! Forget lunch Trillion... I am like you, I sometimes get very caught up in my work. But now, it is time for dinner! I'm terribly sorry to keep you waiting, but we should head out if you want to beat the rush. Come, I know a good place to eat."
Walking through the streets, Lekain leads you to an elaborate restaurant, "The Wings of Angels.'' It seems like a very proper institution, and it seems very expensive. However, the server, upon seeing Lekain, smiles warmly, and he brings the two of you to a table on the balcony, overlooking the woods. "Don't worry about the cost too much. I get a discount here, since I am of the robe. I will calculate the cost that I would pay, and you can give me that amount. He would charge you full price, even in my company, if he knew you were paying. But don't worry, it will be cheap."
Suddenly, while you are enjoying dinner, a large wave comes into your view, with what would seem to be a boat situated in the middle of it. This wave came crashing down in the middle of the forest, with a horrible sound of splintering wood. You think you can hear a faint scream coming from the location, but it soon disappears.
Outside Badon | Year 593 NDE
As Achilles follows Linus through the landscape near Badon, he begins to gain on him, as the Linus seems to have lost his path. However, desperation knows no bounds, and as Achilles gains, Linus yet again takes off, not willing to be caught. Dashing through the undergrowth at an alarming rate, he seems to be in very good shape for an older man. However, Achilles has no trouble keeping up, with his youth and speed.
Coming to a dead end, Linus stops, with Achilles right behind him. Looking at Achilles, Linus says: "So this is it. That cloaked man... he was thinking dragon. I know he was. Achilles! Do you realize what this means? It means that they are back! And they are going to find it first! I will not allow that Achilles! I will not!" As he says this, he begins moving his hands in elaborate rune shaped fashions, and suddenly, seven copies of Linus appear around him. Merging together, then splitting up again, all seven run at you, in an attempt to get past you. At the same time, a soft music begins playing, though in a distant location, barely audible. Immediately, all of their eyes light up. Starting from your left and working their way down to your right, each individual speaks one word at a time, forming a sentence. "Finally! That must be where the others went! I will not be denied now!" Each image says two words.
(OOC: Okay, I'm going to need you to include how you react, and which person you are going to try and stop, with 1 being the image on the extreme left, seven being on your extreme right.)

D'Artigo managed to duck out of the way of the incoming collar before it hit him square in the face. "Who said anything about you being my pet? All I said was that I didn't like animal's as pets of mine. You, on the other hand, are sentient. Nothing sentient can be a pet. Slave maybe, but not pet.

Subject: Perhaps.
"Who knows? I've a fair accumulation of gold that I've collected over the past little while. After all, when a woman dies, there has to be motive... a few gold out of the pockets, some riches, and nobody suspects. I know, that may sound evil, but a man has to evade inquisition at the same time as making a living. Scratching the ears though... that might be a stretch Lyca. I've never been partial to animal's too much... at least, not as pets of mine."
