Scott: "I can only Aqua Blast one more time too." Callie: "MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!! DIE!! DIE!!!!" Scott: "Should I use the Sapphire Light?" Zigfried: "I'm all out of magic. I'll just have to fight this one out now." * Nina still has lotsa magic points Zigfried: "No, save it. I have a feeling we'll need it later." Scott: "OK." Callie: "Another Genesis Effect while we can..." * Ebony casts "Annoyance" on Lark! * Scott prepares his last Aqua Blast. Kyoko: "Heal me!" Nina: "Heal Kyoko." Scott: "OK, I'll get right on it." Scott uses an Herb on Kyoko! Kyoko recovers 50 HP! Kyoko: "Yes!" Teal attacks! Lark suffers 1 damage! Scott: "You OK now Ky?" Ebony attacks! Lark suffers 1 damage! Kyoko: "Die Lark!" Zigfried attacks! Kyoko: "Yes, Thank you Scott!" First attack... 1 damage! Zigfried: "There's got to be a hole in this tin casing of his!" Second attack... 6 damage! Third attack... Critical hit! 48 damage! Lark uses Barrier! Lark's MgE is up 3! Kyoko casts Hypersonic! Lark suffers 70 damage! Callie: "%^#&&!$@!" Callie: "Well, he'll die anyway!!

Sorry." * Nina is getting quite the magic workout ===ROUND 8=== Callie: "Well... What now?" Callie: "Oh well, I'll javelin on my own then. =b" Zigfried: "Keep hitting him." Scott: "Hit him with magic... We just can't combo." Ebony: "C'mon guys... We've been fighting this guy half the session already." * Nina only does 30 damage with her magic, is going to try attacking * Zigfried waves his claws in annoyance. "I know, Ebony.

Ruby attacks! Lark is hit with a blast of fire for 3 damage! Scott: "Go on, Ruby!" Callie: "AHAHAHAHA!! Go on, girl!! =D" Kyoko: "You go, girl!" Lark: "System integrity has been compromised... Cannot maintain structural integrity of outer casing..." Callie: "Well, DUH!" * Scott is disappointed... "No psychopathic laughter, Callie?" Nina: "Why is it the Dragons always kill him after MY turn!??" Kyoko: "Die Lark!" --Lark's outer casing begins to bulge and glow bright red...-- Nina: "I'm always a few points short... Grrrrr..." Scott: "Quit croaking and croak!" Nina: "Anyways... I'm taking cover." * Zigfried shrugs. "Maybe it's just a streak of bad luck, Nina." * Kyoko takes cover too. * Nina ducks behind something Scott: "Hit the deck!" --The entire cave is rocked by a thunderous explosion. There is very little left of Lark to be found...-- VICTORY! * Zigfried darts for cover. * Scott takes cover Callie: "MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!! WHAT A RUSH!!!" Scott: "YEEEEE HAAAAAWWWWW!" Ebony: "It's about time!" --All earn 50 XP. 150 S and 25 MXP gained.-- * Zigfried sighs and stands up. Teal: "You guys did it!" * Scott leaps. Kyoko: "Yea, we did!" Scott: "Teal, do your thing. Get Vane out of this collision course with the Star Tower." Zigfried: "Yeah. Now we'd better stop Vane's collision course." Ebony: "Yea... That WOULD be nice." Callie: "Wooooooo! *shaking it off* Well now, back to business." Teal: "I'm on it!" * Teal access the main controls. * Kyoko rushes to help Teal. Teal: "I've got good news and bad news..." * Ebony alights on Zig's shoulder Scott: "The good news first." Kyoko: "Good news first." * Nina brushes metal bits out of her wings Teal: "I've managed to reverse Vane's course." * Zigfried pets Ebony appreciatively. Scott: "OK, the bad news." Kyoko: "The bad?" Callie: "BAD NEWS IS..?" Teal: "When Lark blew up, it triggered the system to deactivate the anti-gravity generators!" Callie: "%^&@#*$@#%^&*@##?(#^&!@%#$!%^&*!#$!#$?#($*%#!$!!!!" Kyoko: "We're falling!!!!!!!!!!!!" Zigfried: "Scheisse!" Scott: "Then use the manual override!" Ebony: "Meaning Vane crashes yet again." Teal: "Hopefully there's enough of a residual effect to keep us up..." Scott: "There must be an override system in this thing." Teal: "There is no manual override! However, I think I might be able to get us a soft landing..." Scott: "Then do it!" Teal: "I think I might be able to pump enough power to the generators to keep them semi-functional even when shut down!" Nina: "It would be nice of you to try miss um... Teal." Scott: "I'm coming back here after this mission's done. I don't want Vane to be in ruins." --The party feels Vane shake violently and descend in altitude.-- Zigfried: "Great. Hopefully you can keep us aloft just long enough..." * Kyoko uses the last of her power to heal herself. Teal: "Just a bit longer... Come on..." --Kyoko regains all HP.-- Ebony: "o/~ Shot down... In a blaze of glory... o/~" --Suddenly, the group feels Vane hit the ground with a jolting "thump." They are shaken, but nothing seems to have been damaged.-- Teal: "Whew... I think I did it!" Ebony: "Wonder where Vane is now." Scott: "I'll bet Marina's gonna be both happy and pissed." Teal: "Let's get out of this cave and find out." * Scott walks out of the cave. * Nina glances around. "I agree, lets get out of here" * Zigfried can feel himself bouncing into the air a little bit at the landing; an unsettling feeling. Callie: "Well, back the way we came, right?" Kyoko: "Now, let's get outta here." * Scott starts walking. Kyoko: "Yep." Ebony: "Guess what... I marked the passageways with arrows so we can find our way out." * Zigfried nods and follows. Scott: "Then let's follow Ebony's marks." Callie: "Great, Ebony!! Too bad there's so many catacombs.. It's still a long walk." * Scott gives Ebony a bass for marking the way. Ebony: "Gee thanks..." Ebony: "Where do you all keep these fish anyway?" Ebony: "do you have a 'Fish' skill group I don't know about?" * Kyoko gives Ebony a fish for being so cute. * Scott holds up a whole stringer. "I went fishing back in Nota." * Nina giggles a little. "Kyoko casts 'Perch'?" * Ebony chomps on the fish... Doing his best not to get fish bits on Zig * Zigfried appreciates Ebony's concern. * Scott sheathes his sword as he walks. Ebony: "There wasn't this many fish back when I was traveling and saving the world. Scott: "What do you think you're doing now?" Ebony: "I mean the last time." --Callie has reached Level 6! HP up 8. MP up 6. Atk up 5. Def up 3. Wis up 6. MgE up 6. Rest up 4. Next at 566.-- * Zigfried sings softly to himself as the group walks along. * Scott pets Ebony. "Must have quite a long time ago." Ebony: "Sure, it was before the Blue Star had life again." * Nina looks skeptical about Ebony's supposed age * Kyoko hums something while walking next to Zigfried. Kyoko: "o/~ ...Twilight Love... o/~" * Scott hums a little while walking too, only he's humming "Desperado". Scott: "o/~ Desperado... Why don't you come to your senses o/~" Zigfried: "o/~ Looking up I saw nothing, but blackness in the darkest sky... o/~" --Nina has reached level 6! HP up 11. MP up 6. Atk up 6. Def up 6. Wis up 6. MgE up 6. Rest up 2. Next at 566.-- Zigfried: "o/~ And now it's creeping along my eye, falling down in my mind, down in my heart... o/~" --Danny has reached level 6!-- Zigfried: "o/~ I'm drunk and I'm dreaming, so help me to find myself. o/~" * Ebony hums along to Zig * Nina walks behind, listening to all the musical people Zigfried: "o/~ Fast asleep now I'm losing life, sinking down in my mind, down in my heart... o/~" * Kyoko listens to Zigfried with that patented anime character in love look. Then shakes it off. * Ebony thought Kyoko had a thing for Ramus * Scott is concerned about Marina. * Callie takes out some nail polish and paints her nails. --Sunlight can be seen towards the end of the current corridor.-- Zigfried: "o/~ Can't I run away? Nothing else to say. o/~" * Kyoko runs toward it. * Scott takes an old Cheyenne Indian arrowhead out of his pocket. * Zigfried breaks off his singing as he hears Kyoko dart off. Teal: "Almost out of this mechanical mess!" Ebony: "Thank goodness." Scott: "Hmmm... Forgot I had this old thing. KYOKO! Wait up!" Zigfried: "Quite." Teal: "You can say that again Uncle!" * Kyoko screeches to a halt. --As the group leaves the Cave of Trial they find Marina Ausa herself there to greet them, along with a slew of other magicians. As they look around they realize that Vane miraculously landed nearly on its original spot!-- Marina Ausa: "I don't believe it! You guys did it!" Ebony: "Funny the way things work out." * Callie puts her nail polish away and blows on her nails. Scott: "Well, believe it, Marina." * Zigfried nods. * Kyoko smiles. Scott: "I'm kinda amazed myself." Marina: "I'm eternally grateful to all of you for bringing Vane back! What happened down in there though? It took you so long and we were getting worried." * Nina takes the opportunity to stretch her wings, quickly refolds them, glancing at all the people around Kyoko: "All in a day's work for us, Ms. Ausa." Scott: "A very tough fight, Marina. That's all." * Zigfried smiles briefly in Nina's direction as if to reassure her. Callie: "We had to take a while to fight the bot running it." Marina: "A tough fight? With what?" Kyoko: "A mechanical being name Lark was there; gave us trouble." * Nina quickly pulls on her cloak, giving Zig a small smile Marina: "I see... Well, the foolish Guild members that wanted to build this mess will be suitably punished." Callie: "But we showed him... HAHA! Now he truly is rusting in pieces, huh Scott?" Ebony: "I am SO sick of hearing that..." Scott: "Well, it's just a small down payment on what I owe you for five years ago, Marina." Marina: "I am going to make them clean out all those machines from the cave!" Marina: "Five years ago? Gee, I'm flattered that you think that highly of what I did then... However, if you need any help now, I'll do whatever I can. Fortunately all the buildings are intact, including the library!" Ebony: "Really? Got any books on the adventures of Ebony?" Marina: "Ebony? Only stuff from the time of Zophar, sorry..." Ebony: "No one remembers the good stuff..." Marina: "I'll also try to help answer any questions you may have. Vane is the capital of ancient knowledge on both worlds." Scott: "Hey, you really pulled my tail out of a sling. For that I think very highly of you and the magicians of Vane." Callie: "Umm... Marina and Scott? If I may ask what did you do, Marina, that made Scott so in your debt?" Ebony: "I think I'll write my own book... Yea." Marina: "Five years ago, Scott was ambushed by a large group of monsters that were too much for him. I happened to be in the area and came to his aid." Scott: "Part of that mission I took from Ramus." Callie: "Oh." Nina: "Um... Can you tell us anything about Nephar?" Marina: "Oh, I don't think you mentioned Ramus back then. Ramus never intends to harm anyone, but he can be careless about non-business matters sometimes..." Marina: "Nephar? Come with me to the library, I'll see what I can find, OK?" Scott: "Well, it's one reason I really don't trust him yet." Marina: "Fair enough. Can't say I blame you." Scott: "Lead on, Marina." * Marina unlocks the doors of the library and leads the group inside * Zigfried puts his claws away as he follows Marina. Callie: "Um... Marina... Another question I'm not sure if I asked..." Marina: "Let's see... 'N' section... Nope... 'Z' section... Nope..." Scott: "Marina, does Vane still have Lemina's journals? They could prove very useful too." Marina: "Ask away, miss, umm... What was your name again?" * Ebony looks at all the book Marina: "Of course we have Lemina's journals! We also have the only known copy in existence of the diary of one of the Five Heroes of Lucia!" Callie: "Miss Leose. But you can call me Callie." Ebony: "I bet Alex and Lou... The second one... Have books here..." Marina: "OK, umm, Callie..." Ebony: "But me... Nope." Zigfried: "Humans tend to write the books, Ebony. That's probably why." Callie: "OK... Do you know about the sixth crest?" Scott: "I'll bet Alex II got a major book deal from the Ramus family." Marina: "You mean the Crest of Justice?" Callie: "Yes." Callie: "Do you know who holds that?" * Marina keeps on searching for information on Nephar as she answers Callie's question Ebony: "As soon as all this is over, I'm writing about how me and my friends saved the world!" Scott: "Which ones, Ebony?" * Zigfried smirks. "You do that." Marina: "Umm, well, no one knows." Ebony: "Remember the statues in my cave?" Marina: "After I get information of Nephar if we have any, I'll look up what we know on the Heroes' Crests, OK?" Scott: "Could it be that white cloaked joker we met at Nota?" Callie: "OK. Thank you." Marina: "White cloaked joker?" Marina: "You're welcome." Zigfried: "I would hardly call him a joker." Scott: "Yep. He just appeared out of nowhere to tear Pharos a new one with a spell called Dragon Cannon." Marina: "Dragon Cannon? Sounds like Ghaleon!" Marina: "I'm sorry, I looked and looked but we don't have anything on Nephar. He's too new a threat...." Scott: "That was my assumption. I read a lot when I was here." Marina: "Anyway, you want information on the Justice Crest, right?" Zigfried: "Yes, please." Scott: "Really, all the Heroes' Crests. Like what the trials are?" Kyoko: "Info on any crests would be helpful." * Marina goes to a special section of the library to get the book Marina: "Here it is! So, where should I begin?" Ebony: "At the beginning?" Scott: "Answer Callie's first." Marina: "Let me find the right page..." Marina: "I think I found it!" * Zigfried finds a good wall to lean against as he waits for Marina to read. Scott: "OK, what are we looking at to gain the crest?" Ebony: "So Zig, you gonna right a song about this?" Marina: "Hmm, all there are in this book about the Justice Crest are theories... No hard evidence has been found about it." Marina: "We are at a loss to know who this crest belonged to as there were only five Heroes of Lucia." Marina: "Still, Ghaleon was alive at that time and he did aid those Heroes during their mission. He is the most likely suspect to be the bearer of that crest. If you want, we can visit his grave here in Vane and see if we can find any information there." Scott: "Is it possible that Ghaleon could be the one who holds the Justice Crest?" Marina: "I think it's very possible. And if that white cloaked man is Ghaleon, perhaps your answers lie with him." Ebony: "Sure... Let's visit the old grave... Ghaleon... The good part... Wasn't such a bad guy." Marina: "Do you want to visit it now?" Kyoko: "Ghaleon..." Ebony: "Even if he DID steal my power..." Kyoko: "Yes, please." * Zigfried thinks it would be very interesting to visit the grave of the man whose life has affected so much of Lunar's history. Marina: "Follow me then..." * Marina leads the group out of the library * Kyoko follows Marina. Scott: "Not to mention Earth's Zig." * Danny walks after Kyoko and Marina * Scott walks out beside Marina. Marina: "Here it is... We've been careful to preserve it all these years..." * Zigfried turns towards Scott. "True. But I think Lunar has been his home far more than the Blue Star has ever been." Ebony: "Ghaleon's even older than I am." --They approach a simple, yet dignified tombstone. The epitaph on it says "Here lies Ghaleon, former Hero of Althena, Magic Emperor, and hero again."-- * Nina follows quietly... as usual * Scott examines the grave. "Is it possible that he was resurrected and the grave be still intact?" Marina: "We haven't noticed any unusual activity near the grave though. It's been as quiet as it ever was." * Kyoko walks up to the grave and does a small prayer. Teal: "Well, this isn't Ghaleon's only grave though..." * Zigfried claps his hands together momentarily in front of Ghaleon's tomb, offering the former Magic Emperor a silent prayer of good will. * Ebony just looks at it Scott: "When we get to Earth, we'll check out his other grave, Teal." * Nina wonders about the man who once ruled the Vile Tribe Teal: "I know just where it is. It's not far from my cave..." Kyoko: "I'd have loved to meet this version of Ghaleon." Marina: "Well, apparently this grave won't help you on your quest." Scott: "Maybe we'll get that chance, Kyoko." * Zigfried wonders as well, but respects Ghaleon's exploits, both good and bad. Marina: "Shall we return to the library?" Callie: "Yes, please." Scott: "Let's do." * Marina bows her head in homage of Ghaleon, then heads back towards the library Callie: "And perhaps we'll find out about the trials." * Scott walks towards the library beside Marina. * Danny follows after Marina silently * Zigfried follows the others back to the library. Kyoko: "Yes." * Marina returns to the desk on which she placed the books containing all the known information about the Heroes' Crests Marina: "Where should I start? Their history? The individual trials?" Nina: "Where are these... Crests at?" * Scott looks at the arrowhead again, and then hands it to Marina. Scott: "Let's try the trials." Marina: "They should be at shrines at the home towns of the Heroes." Marina: "There isn't much on the trials themselves though. There might be a hint here somewhere. Which Crest do you want to know about first?" Nina: "Which are?" Scott: "The White Crest." Marina: "The six crests are Wisdom, Compassion, Honor, Courage, Resolve, and Justice." Marina: "You mean the Crest of Courage?" Scott: "Yes." Marina: "Let me find it..." Ebony: "I don't know much about these new heroes... They just freed me and... Told me about Azura..." Marina: "Alexis, the last true White Knight, grew up in the chilly town of Seadragon, which is now home to her shrine. She was a highly skilled swordswoman and was captain of her school fencing team. She was the type of person who never backed down in the face of any danger, but with her blade skills she really didn't need to." Danny: "I wouldn't mind finding some information on the Crest of Justice afterwards..." * Callie pats Ebony, trying to comfort him. Marina: "Alexis was amazing with a sword, possessing inherent skills second to none, and she was proud of the fact that she had never been defeated by an enemy during her entire life." * Ebony gives Callie a small smile. "You'd think I'd be over it by now." Scott: "Then I'll probably have to face her in one on one combat?" Marina: "As for the Trial of Courage, all it says here is that it can only be won using your own inner strength." Marina: "It does not say." * Kyoko hands Ebony a fish, picks him up and pets him like a cat. * Ebony shamelessly purrs Marina: "What next?" Danny: "Marina, how about the Crest of Justice? What information do you have on it?" Scott: "I think we've already gone over that, Danny." Marina: "Umm, I already told you that we have almost no information on that Crest. All that we know, however, makes us suspect Ghaleon as its owner." Marina: "Which Crest now? Or do you want to know the story of their creation?" Kyoko: "How about the red one?" Callie: "I don't know much about these crests... I probably once did..." Kyoko: "He was from the temple, like me?" Marina: "You mean the Crest of Compassion?" Kyoko: "Yes." Zigfried: "I don't know, Callie, I think this is new information for the lot of us." Callie: "Well, I mean even what they represent or who used them." Marina: "Red Priest Luke is the possessor of the Crest of Compassion. Luke had always wanted to heal people since he was a young child, and at the time he was selected to be a hero of Lucia he had completed studies as an emergency medical technician and was planning to go to medical school and become a doctor." * Nina half-listens while reading the titles of books Marina: "However, these plans were postponed when he was chosen to save the world from Ghaleon's dark side. Little did he know that when he took on this assignment he would gain healing powers no doctor ever had. You can locate his shrine in the town of Dighton." Marina: "As for the Trial of Compassion, you must prove that you are willing to make sacrifices in order to earn this Crest." * Zigfried folds his arms across his chest as he leans back against a wall. Kyoko: "Healer..." Marina: "Another crest or history perhaps?" Zigfried: "Marina, how about the Crest of Honor?" Scott: "Let's get the info on the black and blue crests then beat it." Marina: "I still have lots more information on the crests though..." Callie: "What about that last one... The... Um... Number five..." Scott: "The Crest of Resolve." Callie: "Yea. That one." Marina: "A master of martial arts, Blue Master Ken is the owner of the Crest of Honor. Ken was also the only one of the heroes that knew another before their quest started, having gone to school with Dragonmaster Lou. They met in a science class of all places and were good friends ever since." Marina: "Ken never failed to impress people with his varied martial art skills and he seemed to be a walking encyclopedia on the subject at times. In order to find his shrine you must travel to Chinatown, where he grew up." Scott: "Figures." Marina: "In order to past the Trial of Honor, you must not use any techniques that could be deemed 'dishonorable.'" Marina: "Next question?" Callie: "The black, right?" Ebony: "All this stuff on the Blue Star." Ebony: "Always liked Lunar better." Scott: "I don't guess your owl skills are called dishonorable." Marina: "You mean the Crest of Wisdom?" * Zigfried shrugs. Yep. You guessed it, Marina. Marina: "There is a good reason why these Crests are on the Blue Star." Ebony: "Yea yea, they were born there." Scott: "The original Heroes of Lucia were on the Blue Star." Ebony: "I suppose its my new home now." Marina: "The Crest of Wisdom is guarded by Black Mage Lia, and her shrine can be found in what is now the town of Puresea. Lia was a top student before she became one of the heroes, and her wisdom translated naturally into her ability with magic." Marina: "She was perhaps the most powerful elemental magician ever to have come from the Blue Star, her power rivaling even some of my ancestors. Her trial may be very difficult, however, if your magical skills are weak." Marina: "Next?" Callie: "What else. The last one." Marina: "Resolve?" Scott: "I think we need to know about the Crest of Resolve." Marina: "OK." Marina: "Dragonmaster Lou, the first Dragonmaster of the Blue Star and the first Dragonmaster since the times of the original Dragonmaster Alex, started off as the weakest of the Five Heroes of Lucia. His fire magic was less than impressive and he had no experience in sword-fighting." Marina: "However, he refused to give up, and through this resolve he eventually managed to earn the title of Dragonmaster, leader and strongest of the Five Heroes. His original shrine no longer exists as his home town was destroyed during the Unification War." Marina: "However, after the war a group of settlers from Lunar moved there and established the town of New Saith on top of the ruins, building a new shrine for him in the process." Callie: "Then where is the trial?" Callie: "Oh." Marina: "Only those that do not give up can pass the Trial of Resolve." Marina: "I also have information on the creation of the Crests if you'd like to hear it." Callie: "Well then... What other info have ya got?" Scott: "Let's hear it, Marina. We need all the info you have." Marina: "Well, it is a bit of a long story, if you have the time..." Marina: "Here goes..." Kyoko: "Sure, let's hear it." Callie: "We do." Zigfried: "Believe me, we do." Marina: "Well, the battle the Five Heroes of Lucia had with Magic Emperor Ghaleon was won by them, but not without cost. The intense amounts of magic used in this battle resulted in the shattering of the four Dragon Crests and the Goddess Crest." * Nina picks up a book every now and again and flips through it * Ebony wonders if the Vane library stocks Lunar art books Marina: "The fragments of the crests were many, many times less powerful than the whole crests. Sadly, these fragments could not be reassembled so the power of the Dragon Crests was lost forever." * Zigfried notes Nina's book browsing with some interest. Marina: "The Heroes picked up as many of the pieces as they could and asked Lucia for advice. Lucia told them that while she could not repair the Dragon Crests, she could make new crests from the pieces, each containing the essence of the source of the Heroes' power." Marina: "From the Black Dragon Crest, the Crest of Wisdom was created. From the Red Dragon Crest, the Crest of Compassion was created. From the Blue Dragon Crest, the Crest of Honor was created. Finally, from the White Dragon Crest, the Crest of Courage was created." Scott: "So their power will be similar to that of the corresponding Dragon Crest?" Marina: "Two more crests were created after this, the Crests of Resolve and Justice, but these were not created from pieces of previously existing crests. The Black, Red, Blue, and White Heroes hid their crests in their home towns and their shrines were built over the places where the crests were though to have been hidden." Marina: "Yes, the power should be similar." Marina: "Anyway, Dragonmaster Lou was placed in charge of hiding the Resolve and Justice Crests. No one knows where he hid the Justice Crest, however he originally hid the Resolve Crest in some deep corner of the Black Dragon Cave. Since then, however, the Resolve Crest has been moved, presumably to the shrine in New Saith, supposedly by a descendant of the Dragonmaster." Marina: "This information was kept secret and was known only to the Heroes, the Blue Dragon, and Lucia. We only know about it after a diary that belonged to Black Mage Lia was brought to our attention during a recent archaeological dig the Guild sponsored in Puresea." Marina: "Any more questions? I've very willing to help." Scott: "I think that just about sums it up, Marina." Marina: "So, what will you be doing now though?" Scott: "Oh, by the way. Take this arrowhead. It's brought me luck in the past." Marina: "Thank you. *blush* I appreciate it..." Scott: "We're headed off to take on Nephar." * Marina takes the arrowhead Ebony: "Think you should try getting the crests first." Marina: "You look very tired though. Stay here and rest a bit, perhaps eat and join us in a victory celebration." Ebony: "Which means getting to the Blue Star." Scott: "Be very careful with it. It's of Cheyenne Indian origin." Marina: "I understand..." Scott: "I don't see why not. What do you say, guys?" * Nina slides a book back onto its shelf and walks back to the group Ebony: "Party huh?" Ebony: "Hey Ruby, can you dance?" Zigfried: "I could use the rest." Marina: "Yes... The feast we originally planned for the return to the sky will now be a victory feast!" Ruby: "Not with you, Puffy Puff!" Danny: "Ebony, I doubt she would want to dance with a cat!" Scott: "I could use the chance to look around Vane and see where I want to take up residence here." * Zigfried chuckles lightly. Ebony: "Stop calling my that!" Ebony: "Grrrrrrrrrr..." Ruby: "Hehehe, why should I?" * Zigfried pets Ebony gently. Ebony: "I haven't made fun of you in... Hours!" Scott: "Any Vane real estate tips, Marina?" Ruby: "Big deal!" Ebony: "Fine, see if I give you the... Nevermind." Marina: "Umm... Just don't by property near the entrance to the Cave of Trial. Property values are lowest there..." * Ruby sticks her tongue out at Ebony * Ebony sticks his tongue out Scott: "Cool. I was thinking of near the Silver Spire." Ebony: "Teal will dance with me... Right?" * Teal turns to Kyoko, "Do you think those two will ever stop fighting?" Teal: "Sure, why not, Uncle?" * Scott turns to Teal... "Not likely." Teal: "But not with you as a cat. You're kinda short, heehee." Kyoko: "No." Kyoko: "They will probably fight 'til the end of time." Ebony: "I can dance like this." * Zigfried imagines two flying cats dancing. Interesting thought. * Ebony hops to Zig's head and starts to boogie Teal: "True, but it's a pain for me to bend down to reach your paws!" Zigfried: "Hey! Not on my head! You'll mess up my hair!" * Nina can't help herself, laughs Scott: "Can we cut it out, please?" Teal: "So, once we return to Earth, what crest you guys wanna go for first?" * Zigfried picks Ebony off of his head. Ebony: "Awww..." Scott: "I think it'll be best to go for the Crest of Courage first." Teal: "Any reason?" Scott: "That defensive spell will come in handy." Zigfried: "Long hair's a pain to take care of..." * Nina doesn't think she's a hero... Is just helping the heroes, so leaves it up to them Teal: "Good idea..." * Zigfried sets Ebony down on a bookshelf. Kyoko: "Well, I will go for any you go for." Teal: "Sorry guys about not telling you about the origin of the Crests sooner, I guess it just never came up..." Zigfried: "Don't worry about it, Teal." Scott: "Oh, well. Gave me a reason to come here." Scott: "The only place I really feel at home anymore." Teal: "Also, I promised the Heroes never to tell the story. I didn't know they found Lia's diary..." Hiro: "But you're from Earth, aren't you?" Scott: "Yes, but I've been all over Earth and Lunar. I feel more comfortable here than anywhere else." Ebony: "I suppose Ruby and I are the last Lunar dragons" Hiro: "I understand." Teal: "I think so, Uncle." Teal: "Actually, I know so. Both Hiro and I were born on the Blue Star..." Ebony: "We're also the last ones born while Althena was alive." Hiro: "Did you and Mom ever see Althena?" * Zigfried meanders off from the group, getting bored of the current conversation and feeling a need for some fresh air. --Zigfried happens to walk near a Statue of Althena :)-- * Zigfried slaps his hand against the statue. Ebony: "I saw Althena as Luna... And I also saw her in her human form when she first brought people to Lunar... And the Blue Star died." --Everyone's HP/MP recovered.-- Hiro: "Wow, you never told me that..." Teal: "That's cause you never visited my Uncle!" * Scott continues to converse. Hiro: "So?" Teal: "So!? You should have more respect for your elders, Hiro!" Danny: "Teal, who would WANT to visit him?" Scott: "Will you two cut it out!" * Zigfried sits down outside of the library and watches the people mill about. * Teal nails Danny with a spark of electricity for that comment! * Danny glares at Teal. Scott: "This bickering is getting us nowhere." Marina: "I guess you didn't know that Dragons are notorious for short tempers..." Scott: "I do now." * Teal glares back at Danny Kyoko: "Well, let's go for the red one since we know where it is." * Teal notes to pay Danny a visit once she gets her Aura back :) Ebony: "Hey!" Ebony: "...I'm a nice person to visit..." Teal: "We know where they all are except for the Resolve and Justice ones." Danny: "Marina, I have been stuck in Nota and Meribia all my life! I hardly know anything about what we are doing! Or what we are up against." Ebony: "No one ever did though." Teal: "Of course you are Uncle!" Teal: "I did!" * Ebony lands on Teal's shoulder. "Thank you dear." Marina: "Nota and Meribia, hmm? You'd think the Unified Army would have trained you better..." Teal: "Anytime, Unc!" Danny: "Yeah, really." * Scott pets Ebony. "You ain't too bad." --An aid walks up to Marina and whispers something in her ear.-- Scott: "What's up, Marina?" Marina: "Ahh! The feast is ready! Please, join me in the Guild Mansion!" Marina: "Tonight we eat, drink, and be merry!" Scott: "OK, I'm game." Marina: "Also, I'm having the guest rooms prepared for you to spend the night there." Kyoko: "FOOD!" Marina: "It's the least I can do!" Ebony: "So how come all you guys like being human so much?" * Marina walks off towards the Guild Mansion Scott: "Hey, helping you was the least I could do." Kyoko: "Thank you Marina!" Teal: "We attract less attention this way, Uncle." * Scott walks off beside Marina. * Zigfried rejoins the party as they exit the library. Teal: "Besides, I'm too young and too old to date any of the other Dragons, so who else can I date?" * Danny follows Scott and Marina looking at the city as he walks with awe. Hiro: "Hey, you're saying you're too old for me?" Teal: "Of course! I remember when you were just in diapers!" Scott: "Yep. This place hasn't changed a bit from the last time I was here." Marina: "Please, this way." --Marina leads the party to the great hall in the Guild Mansion. An enormous table is set up there with reserved seats of honor for the heroes and Dragons.-- --Upon the table lies every kind of food imaginable. Meat, fish, poultry, vegetables, rare fruits and juices, the finest wines on both worlds, etc.-- Scott: "You know, Marina. It's good to see that some things never change." Marina: "Try the 'Hiro's Special Reserve.' It goes great with pasta!" Marina: "Thank you Scott, I try to keep it that way, despite what some boneheads in the Guild think." Scott: "Well, I think you're doing a very good job as Premier. Maybe better than Mia or Serena." * Kyoko sits down all prim and proper. Marina: "Why, thank you Scott. It's not easy in this day and age though." * Zigfried carefully takes a seat. * Scott sits down at the table * Zigfried points Ebony at the platters of fish on the table. Scott: "Looks like the Guild found that big stringer of bass I caught at Nota." --Waiters and servants surround the heroes and Dragons and ask them for their orders.-- Ebony: "...Chocolate milk!" Waiter: "Yes sir!" * Nina asks for whatever isn't too much trouble Scott: "Waiter, I'll have a large sirloin steak with a baked potato for a side." Waiter: "How would you like that steak sir?" Scott: "Medium." Waiter: "Yes, sir." Waiter: "Oh, and would you like butter or sour cream with that potato?" * Scott pours some of the Hiro's Special Reserve. Scott: "Butter." Danny: "I only want water please." Waiter: "I'll get it right for you!" * Scott gives a glass to Marina and places one at his place. Waiter: "Here you go." --The waiter pours Danny some water.-- Danny: "Thank you." Marina: "Why, thank you again Scott!" * Scott smiles. "My pleasure." * Ebony hops into a chair and turns human, just to spite those people that say he never does * Danny takes the glass and sips the water looking at everyone. Teal: "All right Uncle! You really do look sharp as a human though!" * Zigfried gets a glass of beer and smirks in Ebony's direction. Ebony: "Hey... What am I getting smirks for?" --The waiters return with the foods the group had asked for.-- Kyoko: "I'd like some wine, thanks." Nina: ...I didn't know you could do that." Scott: "This is the first real break I've had in about five years." Ebony: "I'm a Dragon, Nina." Waiter: "Would you like the Hiro's Special Reserve?" Zigfried: "It's just... Interesting." Kyoko: "Yes." Nina: "I... Don't... Didn't... Believe..." Kyoko: "That'd be lovely." --The waiter pours Kyoko some of Hiro's Special Reserve-- Hiro: "Hey, how come this wine is named after me without my permission!?" Scott: "Not you... The other Hiro!" Ruby: "Something I think you take after your father Hiro. It was named after the HUMAN Hiro!" Danny: "You aren't special enough to have something named after you, Hiro." Hiro: "Honest mistake..." Marina: "Danny, if I were you I wouldn't risk angering Dragons..." * Zigfried sips his beer and then takes a bite of his food. * Hiro glares at Danny * Ebony sips chocolate milk * Danny grins evilly at Hiro >:) Scott: "I keep trying to tell them to calm down a little." * Nina is still looking surprised over this whole... human/flying cat thing * Ebony leans over and smacks Danny on the back of the head * Kyoko sips her wine and munches with the grace of a princess. * Danny looks at Kyoko and smiles. Marina: "I hope you all are enjoying your meal..." * Scott eats his dinner and sips on his wine. Zigfried: "I am. It's very gracious of you to treat us." * Nina leans over and whispers to Zig. "They really ARE Dragons?!" Scott: "It's great, Marina. Thank you." Marina: "It's the least I can do for those that saved our city." Marina: "You're very welcome." Scott: "Saving your city was the least I could to for you saving my life." * Zigfried whispers back, "I'm inclined to think so. I saw Ebony when he was full sized. He looked like a Dragon to me!" Marina: "Scott, you're embarrassing me a little... *blush*" Scott: "Would you rather I shut my trap?" --Another aid walks up to Marina and whispers something in her ear...-- Marina: "I see..." Scott: "What is it this time?" Marina: "Oh, Scott, well, umm, you can talk about whatever you want, but, well, nevermind." Marina: "Oh, it's nothing. My aid told me that your guest rooms are ready when you wish to go to bed." & Nina whispers, "I never believe all the talk..." * Ebony leans back and pulls a stone out of the air Teal: "Uncle, what are you doing?" Scott: "I have a little problem sleeping these days. I think I'll just hang around and try to relax a little." * Zigfried shrugs. "I usually don't either. But it's hard to disbelieve it when a giant furred Dragon is sitting in front of you." Nina: "All I saw was a cute kitty." Ebony: "Oh... Just my hobby." Teal: "More stone work?" * Ebony hums and fiddles with the stone Ebony: "Yep." Ebony: "Any requests?" * Kyoko pets Ebony. Teal: "What are you making this time?" * Zigfried wonders if Ebony is still intent on dancing with Teal. Ebony: "I've made just about everything." * Teal whispers a request to Ebony * Ebony nods to Teal. "I'll work on it... Kinda big... I'll have to do it while it's in netherspace" Teal: "I understand Uncle." * Ebony pulls out another stone Ebony: "Behold my skill!" * Teal finished up her meal and yawns * Ebony closes his hands around them both Teal: "Damn, I think I'm getting sleepy..." * Zigfried sips his beer as he watches Ebony. * Ebony holds them a few minutes * Scott is too busy eating to pay any mind to Ebony. * Danny thinks about something and looks worried.... The tension then goes away and he gets up and walks up to Marina. Danny: "Ummm... Where are the rooms miss?" * Ebony holds out one to Zig and one to Kyoko, the stones now being shaped as statues of the person he is giving them too Marina: "My aids will take you to your rooms if you wish to go to them." * Danny is... tired. Zigfried: "Oh! Why thank you, Ebony!" Kyoko: "Yea, I'm tired as well." Scott: "I'll help get this place back in shape." * Zigfried smiles at Ebony as he takes the stone. Ruby: "I think I should hit the sack too..." Kyoko: "Thanks, Ebony. *kiss on the cheek* Ebony: "No problem, I've been doing it for a long time." -Zigfried and Kyoko acquire "Stone Portraits" * Ebony blushes Marina: "*yawn* I think I'm getting tired myself..." Scott: "Then maybe I'll go up on the roof and do a little training." Marina: "Good night, everyone. It's been a long day for me and I need my sleep..." * Marina walks off to her bedchamber Ebony: "Night Marina." * Ebony waves Scott: "See you in the morning, Marina." Zigfried: "Night Marina." * Ebony looks at the other Dragons. "Why do you like being human so much anyway?" Teal: "I think I'm gonna hit the sack too. Hey, umm, one of you aids, can you take my to my room please?" Teal: "Didn't I tell you that already?" * Scott starts helping the aids get the chamber cleaned up. Ruby: "Well, for one thing, it's a lot easier to get around this world unnoticed as a human." * Kyoko follows a aid off to her room. * Danny wonders where the hell those damned aids are. Aid: "Excuse me, sir, may I help you?" Ebony: "Like my kittyness has caused us any troubles" Teal: "Well, there was that guy in the Giggle Tent..." Danny: "I'd like to go to my room please if it isn't of any trouble to you." Scott: *DeNiro Voice* "You talkin' to me?" Ebony: "Oh yea... And your humanness really helped YOU!" Aid: "Follow me please." Nina: "I'd like a room as well." * Zigfried glances in Nina's direction to check how she's doing. * Danny follows the aid Teal: "At least the guy that hit on me wasn't into bestiality!" * Kyoko follows the aids. Ebony: "Anyone wanna share a room? I've had enough of the 'alone' thing." * Scott finishes his work and goes up to the roof. --The aids all escort those wishing to go to bed to their rooms.-- Ebony: "Zig?" Kyoko: "Sure, Ebony." Zigfried: "I suppose, Ebony." Kyoko: "You can bunk with me." Ebony: "Well Kyoko, your a... Um... And I'm a..." Hiro: "You can bunk with me if you want, Uncle." * Kyoko smiles at Ebony. * Scott looks over his back... "Don't start, Ebony." Ebony: "Sure, Zig or Hiro." * Zigfried shrugs. "I don't know. You can choose, Ebony. But I'm not sleepy just yet." * Scott gets to the roof and starts to train with his sword in the seclusion and silence. Ebony: "I'm not really either." * Ebony smiles. "I didn't do much walking" Nina: "Goodnight... Friends." Hiro: "Good night, Nina." * Nina glances at Zig and heads off to a room * Zigfried nods to Nina as she leaves. * Kyoko heads off to her room, yawning. * Scott thinks of his mission as he trains. Scott: "Enjoy your rest my friends. We have a tough road ahead." --While Scott trains on the roof and Hiro, Ebony, and Zigfried decide bunking arrangements, the rest of the group gets a well-deserved night's rest...-- ===SESSION END===
