Captive-Chapter 5: Morning Aftermath of Impending Doom

Originally posted by Lady Blue03: ooc-Good job Calth, I'm very proud

awww, thanks LB, wery prouwd?

ooc-Calth, go ahead and PM me about what you want for epiloughes before we start the new chapter

Book, LB, book. Not a new chapter Captive's kinda run its course now Natha is dead [img]tongue.gif[/img] Call it "book 2, Raise of an Sea-Elven Queen" or something I'll talk to you about epilouges a little later - I think if we did make a new "Book" it should be set, maybe a couple of years or months after Alliene has come to terms with her mothers loss? Also - I'd have writen something in so that the matron CANT be resurected - something about magic wielded or whatever - that way she can't come back - also, order the corpses touched Matron [img]graemlins/agree.gif[/img] we dont want those nasty drowians raising again ...

Calaethis awoke, he looked around.. he was back home... or at least, as much of a home as he'd get in the underdark... where was everybody... everything came back in a flash... the elf girl... he tried to stand up, and promtly fell over, only to land on Shev, who'd sensed his master's distress and caught him. Calaethis murmered a "thank you" in Shev's ear, and got licked for his troubles. On unsteady feet, he supported himself by holding onto the furnature. He felt his sword belt for Tagnik'zurjess - it wasn't there! He must have dropped it when he was out cold. Still Alliene would have it. He swore. The elf girl... he said he'd come back for her... but he was in no state to do anything... he looked thoughtful, then looked at Shev who stood wagging his tail at his master. Resuming the mind link with the wolf, Calaethis tried to contact Zach, and give her his thoughts on his sword and Tagnik'zurjess, and impressed the need to speak with Alliene. He did not mention the elf girl though... that'd have to be done in person... and if his aunt truly was dead, Alliene would not be happy, nor would she think about killing an elf slave... in fact, she might insist that all servents, slaves and warriors were executed for their Mistress's part in her mothers death... if Alliene was feeling merciful, perhaps she would listen to reason and absorb all of the slaves from House Shelarth, save the body slaves, who would of course, need to be executed, or at least interrogated. He resent his thought to Zach, but didn't force his will on her, that was not in Calaethis's nature to impose or dominate, not that Alliene would pleased... he tried to impress the need for him to see her imedatly though...

***OOC, be nice Lb, please? ***

ooc- *cough* epilogue *cough*

ic- Skye watched with amusement as Dameon and Shadow bickered over the chest of jewels, ignoring the spasm of pain that suddenly lanced her arm. 'I'll heal,' she thought to herself. 'It is only a physical wound. Alliene though, I am not quite as sure of... I wish I could help her, but I do not think she would wish to see me at this moment..'

ooc- in order not to rouse the wrath of lb, I'll reply to Cal's post *points downwards* in this post. and Cal, the g comes before the u, not after.. so no, you still spelled it wrong [img]tongue.gif[/img]

How'd it go with Kaltia? i wanna hear all the details, lol *typical nosy girl*

EDIT- argh, you edited the same time i did [img]tongue.gif[/img] Cal's well now, so I might as well have some fun with my char being wounded.. after all, the bards always seem to die first in the video games, right? [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] dont worry, I'm not gonna kill her off.. [img]smile.gif[/img]

***OOC HEY! I did spell it right! It was lb that didnt! btw, I think we should close this down with a page more or so of stuff, winding it down - then put epilouges, then we can start Book 2 [img]tongue.gif[/img] with the same chars; what do you all think? It'd make sense coz now Natha's gone, the name "Captive" doesn't mean much anymore... also, our wuvable wittle LB has developed a thirst for power, and I doubt she'll stop until shes gotten her own thread with her complete and total control over it (mwhahah) ok, so I was joking... (half joking) but seriously, I think it'd be nice to start another "Fresh" Game - events leading on from Captive if you will...

on a side note, I met Kaltia in person today.

Cant post IC right now. Also, Skye, dont let your char get TOO wounded, Cal's already hurt, your char doesnt need to suffer too ***

[Lady Blue03]

Zachana hunched her scaled shoulders and flew over to Calaethis, landing neatly between Shevarash's ears,

<<She refuses to see anyone. Even myself, it seems. I would suggest you give her space. Lots of it. See is extremely dangerous when she is like this, and will take out her anger on the first person to approach her. But do not fear, she will come down on her own accord, sooner or later. If she doesn't I will personally drag her down>> she peered at Shadow and Dameon curiously, and then hissed a laugh, <<And if you wouldn't mind, do not inform Shadow that I have a human form>> with a twitch of her wings she was gone from the common room, hiding behind a small colum of marble just before its entrance. Taking a breath, she let herself shift into her human form, clothed in tight black breeches and a silver coat that hung to her knees, with glossy black boots, turned down at the knee. Figuring her hair served as a type of cloak, she strode back into the common room and leaned casually on one of the plush couch arms, watching Shadow with an amused face,

"My, you do seem to be having trouble with those. Would you like me to help you carry them to your rooms?" her black eyes were full of fun and mischief

[shadowhound]

Shadow looks offended, "I do not need a female to help me carry my stuff to my... room... on second thought any help would be appreciated." He grins and grabs one end of the chest, part of him wondering where the woman keeps coming from and another part of him just not caring where she came from just that she was here.

[Lady Blue03]

Zachana pretends to have a hard time with the chest as she takes the other end, though in truth she could have twirled it above her head one handed. She still retained some of her draconic strength while in this awkward form. Once they had set the chest down, Zachana blocked Alliene off from her mind. This was the last thing her grieving lady needed to sense.

Leaning down, she picked up a large moonstone and looked closely at it. Very beautiful gems. With a grin, she closed the lid of the chest and sat down on it, crossing her legs under herself. She warned herself to be careful about what she said. Not everyone was as accepting as Lady Verloren about dragon lovers. Reaching over, she snagged the end of Shadow's coat and pulled him close,
"I heard that House Streea dominated over First House Shelarth today. You must have been in that battle, if you returned with these treasures. I am glad you did not sustain any wounds to your person," she smiled warmly and released his coat, resting her chin in her hands while she looked up at him, "I am called Kaishin'azunwith, though most call me Kai," she had not used her true Draconic name in some time, but she knew it was safe, now, "And I know that you are called Shadow," her smile turned mischievous; she was not about to come up with an excuse to how she knew his name. Standing, she set about removing his cloak and shirt, "I sense you could use a back rub, especially after all that fighting," dropping his garments on the chest, she pushed him gently to the bed and sat on his bottom, her fingers tracing lines down his back. This was likely to be another fun experience.

ooc-Shadow, did u get my PM about your chars heigth and such? Those usually require an answer [img]tongue.gif[/img]

[DameonRules]

Dameon sets a hand on the chest before the two can take off. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, before you two decieded to leave. i will get my share of the cut." Dameon gives Shadow a look that dares him to say no. "I believe that 30-70 is more then fair." As he crosses him arms over his chest, looking down him.

[shadowhound]

OOC: Now my whole timeline is out of order [img]tongue.gif[/img] I am sure that I pmd that info to you earlier LB, must not have been sent properly, so I sent it again.

IC: Shadow frowns and passes Dameon his 30%, vowing to himself that he will remember to negotiate before the job was started.

As Shadow helps the girl carry the chest into his room he admires her obvious good points. He listens to what she says, responding when he feels it is necessary. "It is good to see you again Kaish... Kaish... Kai. I don't know how you know who I am but details as such do not matter."

Shadow is in a state of bliss lying on the bed he enjoys feeling Kai's skillful fingers run over his back, and he sighs deeply. "You are very skilled with your fingers Kai. Why have I not seen you around here before?"

[Calaethis Dragonsbane]

Calaethis swore, and slammed his fist into the cough. "Damnation and all the hells!" he started swearing again, "WHY am I here I need to be back where I was... of all the ill cursed luck... ZACH!" his mind tone was loud and inffuriated, and Shev cowered slightly at the sound and tone of his master's mental speech. "I need to be over at House we just conquered. I must be there, NOW Zach. Cast a spell, I don't care, but I must be there. And it must be now. I don't care if you want to play with shadow, although, what you see in him, I'll never know... and no, I won't spoil your fun, but please I must be there... and... I won't disturb Matron Alliene.." He cut off, hoping that Zach would do as he requested otherwise he'd have to bug Avalon, and that wouldn't be a good thing... idly he wondered where Lady Verloren was...

"Oh forget it Zach, I'll walk there myself..."

So he did, merging with the shadows, he slipped out unnoticed. He passed a handmaiden on the way; one of his cousin's own. He stepped out of the shadows, ignoring her startled oath. Curbing the urge to slap the young elf, she asked acidically "Did you want something Calaethis? Or do you enjoy sneaking up on handmaidens?" Calaethis grinned impishly and said, "Thats a mean thing to say, after all, I *am* your cousin, abit distantly..." he grinned as the Handmaiden raised her hand to strike him, "You are a little imp, Calaethis; were you any other, I might slay you on the spot, I'm tempted even now to take you to an empty room and teach you some manners - with my whip, but..." she sighed and dropped her hand. "Do not tempt me again little one, you may be under your cousin's protection here, but if your cheeky to me or any of the other handmaidens, don't think we'll hesitate to strike you, understood? Now was there a reason you jumped out of the shadows?"

Calaethis smiled and implusivly embraced the handmaiden, whom he'd grown to like somewhat. "Actually there was a reason, erm, forgive me please, but I seem to have forgotten your name?" The handmaiden shook her head. "Release me child, if others see you hugging me, they'll wonder why I haven't thrashed you, and my name..." She sighed "I indugle you far to much Calaethis. Still, you've always been fairly well behaved for a barbarain elf, Alliene's influence I'm sure" her voice held a subtle amusement "Well my full name is Sui'aerluuthli Olathslyan, but I suppose if you really wanted to, you could call me Sui'aerl."

She smiled at him, as he asked "doesn't that mean; 'Arcaneblue Darkstar?'" She smiled slightly at him, "Very good Calaethis. I see your efforts to learn a civilised language are paying off. Now, your reason for being here? I hope it wasn't some prank, as I'd have to punish you for it." Calaethis grinned and said, "No Sui'aerl, I hadn't come to pull any pranks.." his face clouded over "I need to go out... and someone ought to know where I am... and since... Matron Alliene is... indisposed shall we say? I thought I ought to let someone else know, in case she asks. I don't know where Lady Verloren is - so I thought I'd come and find you instead." *

Sui'aerl gave him an amused look, "And what is so important you had to bother me about Calaethis? And were are you planning to go? If you've disturbed me for nothing, I'll spank you." Calaethis's face turned serious. "I have to go back to the enemy house. I left something behind there - my sword... I need it back." Sui'aerl gave an exaspherated sigh "I really should spank you! Leaving your sword behind! What were you thinking!"
"Calm down, I was out cold at the time... and I got teleported back here." She sighed again, "Very well, I suggest you hurry, your cousin won't be happy to find you left your sword in that place. I'll form up and escort and we can go and find it." Calaethis shook his head, "Its faster if I go alone... really... and I can hide, none will see me. Sui'aerl cuffed him, "...and if anything happened to you, it would be my hide. No, we'll go with a company of warriors."

Calaethis made a face "All right Handmaiden, if you feel its nessaccary," and dougded another cuff aimed at him "Also, Matron Alliene forgot to touch the corpses - we should do that, so that they can never be raised. Sui'aerl nodded in approval "Lets go then"


* there's some history between this handmaiden and Cal - basically, this one has a nicer personalitly then most drow - (hush lb, no comments) And Cal's nature has lead her to try to take away some of his "barbarin" elf qualities since Alliene is first in line for Matronship - also, she doesn't want him embarring her house in anyway, and keeps him from underfoot when Alliene is occuiped.

edit - LB, it says you haven't checked your pms - or at least the one I sent you... if you haven't... maybe next time I won't bother writing them... *sighs* soz, just tired... anyway... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Zachana grinned as the elf tripped over her name,
"I come and go as the Matron pleases, we are very good friends," she frowned at his back, "Really, you should not have let that Dameon character take your gems. I will assist you in getting them back, if you wish. What does he need them for anyway, is he not rich already?" feeling she had let out too much information she leaned over and tickled his pointd ears with her teeth, "Enough massaging, I think," and she winked as he looked up at her in surprise.

ooc-Travis, I told you not to take those gems! Does the word 'plot item' mean nothing to you? Bad Dameon. He will be punished
