Well you can always try after the FF
too. :p

*Angel sheaths sword and walks over
to where Elegon is sitting, pouting*
(PC) :angel O:-) (1:00:44 PM)

*Elegon continues to stare off
towards the west.* "You weren't gone that long."
(PC) :angel O:-) (1:11:22 PM)

(GM) Prysus (PF)(Closed for now)
(1:12:19 PM)
*Brief pause.* "I just mean ... you
found the real sword so fast." *Another brief pause.* "It must really like you."
(PC) :angel O:-) (1:12:50 PM)
"I don't think it likes or
dislikes... I found it because Instaror agreed to help this time."
(PC) :angel O:-) (1:13:17 PM)
"And once I got close enough I could
sense it."

"Are you sure about that? I'm not.
You always talk about how unworthy you are for it but ..."
(PC) :angel O:-) (1:15:40 PM)
*dark chuckle* "My family has..
history with the creator of this sword. My great grandfather Arhen was Cardak's
mentor, but my father went to war with Cardak and destroyed most of his family."
(PC) :angel O:-) (1:16:02 PM)
"If it was that smart... it would not
let an ice dragon lay a hand on it, I think."
(GM) Prysus (PF)(Closed for now)
(1:16:52 PM)
"Maybe ... or maybe there is someone
else it hates more."
(PC) :angel O:-) (1:16:55 PM)
"I have a question. How do you know
so much about this sword, and how were you able to read its power? Did you
undergo some ritual? Perhaps that is why it reacted to you."
(GM) Prysus (PF)(Closed for now)
(1:20:21 PM)
*He stays quiet after Angel's
question for a long time. Standing there, thinking, unsure if he wants to
answer. Just as it seems he'll stay quiet forever, he responds.* "My family has
been connected to the sword for thousands of years. After the Nameless Hero, the
legendary palladin, was preparing to leave, he entrusted the sword to my
ancestor to watch over and help keep this place safe." *When he says it though,
there sounds like a lot of regret and guilt in his voice.*
(PC) :angel O:-) (1:22:44 PM)
"Cardak loved humans." :x
(PC) :angel O:-) (1:24:39 PM)
"What happened?"
(GM) Prysus (PF)(Closed for now)
(1:30:37 PM)
"Maybe he shouldn't have. At first my
family did as he asked, but eventually the sword became an ornament on the wall,
a trophy. Its true powers started to become forgotten, kept alive only by the
writings in the family journals. A little over a hundred years ago, 8
generations ago, my family decided they could use the sword in an attempt to
gain power. They used it for his own selfish purposes, and for three generations
they got away with it. The sword gave him great power until ... he came. He
killed my great, great grandfather and took the sword so my family couldn't
misuse it any longer. He damned my family for abusing their gift, and hide it so
that it wouldn't be misued again. It was my family's sins which took it from the
world, and I think the sword can still sense which ...

bloodline flows through my veins."
(PC) :angel O:-) (1:34:14 PM)
"Maybe. We dragons aren't what you
would call... forgiving."
(PC) :angel O:-) (1:34:47 PM)
"I wish I could say something to
discount that, but I simply don't know enough."
(GM) Prysus (PF)(Closed for now)
(1:36:39 PM)
"When I was kicked out, I was told
the only way I'd be able to restore my honor was to restore my family honor, to
find the sword so that we could try to make ammends for what was done. But now I
see ..." *He clenches his fast as anger starts to fill him, anger ... and hurt.*
"... that may not be possible."
(PC) :angel O:-) (1:37:47 PM)
*lays a hand on his.* "Possible, just
difficult. Honor is not something that can be taken away. It is a code, and is
defined by your actions."
(PC) :angel O:-) (1:40:36 PM)
"If you got this sword, right now,
for what purpose would you use it?"
(PC) :angel O:-) (1:42:45 PM)
"Perhaps... if your reason for using
the sword was more good and just than mine, then it would want you more. I don't
know. Either way, I think our best option is to unlock its powers, as originally
planned."
(GM) Prysus (PF)(Closed for now)

"I would do what I was supposed to
do, what I was meant to do, what I was fated to do ever since that day, return
it home, to my family."
(PC) :angel O:-) (1:44:43 PM)
:-?
(PC) :angel O:-) (1:44:58 PM)
"And would your family use it for
good, or for selfish purposes?"
(GM) Prysus (PF)(Closed for now)
(1:47:56 PM)
*He spins towards Angel at the
question.* "How can you even ask that? My family are good people. They would
never do anything like that!"
(PC) :angel O:-) (1:48:48 PM)
:| "I've never met your family. So I
asked. I've made a resolution to try not to act on false assumptions."
(GM) Prysus (PF)(Closed for now)
(1:52:04 PM)
*He turns away and in a much lower
voice, almost a whisper, he adds.* "But they are my family, or at least they
were."
(PC) :angel O:-) (1:54:23 PM)
"I do not understand repudation. That
is one thing my family would never do to. If someone broke Clan Laws, the young
would be eated, and if they were past a certain age they would be tortured,
killed, or both, but never kicked out. I cannot even wrap my mind about such
pain, but I am here for you if you want to talk."
(PC) :angel O:-) (1:54:32 PM)
eaten*
(PC) :angel O:-) (1:56:00 PM)
"Of course, most of the young of my
Clan are eaten by an elder dragon..at least for a month or two.. on general
principles. We um, have a throat pouch where the young is stored, protected,
physical problems if any are corrected... er, I'm rambling. Sorry." :-S

Just leave me alone." *Despite the harsh words, he just sounds more confused

to figure out what to say.*
(PC) :angel O:-) (2:11:44 PM)

you up. I just hope it gives some small consolation, I care about you, and would

sighs* *then sighs* "One more thing I screw up, I can't even cheer up a friend,
I just make it worse." *gets up to leave*
