3rd Shadow | [Action]

[Action; Private to Sakura]

[Is that tapping at the window? It sure is. There happen to be two familiar crows sitting at the window sill - one with red eyes and the other with blue - and they're both carrying something in their beaks. The pair are carrying a set of
morganite earrings for Sakura - one in each of their beaks - and they spent a long time hunting down just where Sakura lived to give them to her. They had to repay her for her kindness for when she fed them at the auction venue, after all.]


[Action; Any of the cities]


[Where Liam had told Weiss that he'd be keeping an eye out for a certain criminal, he was actually lying through his teeth. He had no intention of hunting anyone, although the thoughts of seeking the man out to aid him had crossed his mind. Perhaps he felt sorry for a man that had a bounty placed on his head instantly, who knows.

In the meantime, he was still disinterested in any of the happenings around him in the cities, and spent his time as normal. He could be found in any number of bars or shady establishments, cheating people out of their money by card sharking as usual - be it by casual cheating or by mixing his illusions into play. He had to make up for giving Athrun 5,000 red bills at the auction, after all. Just in case he would ever actually need that money. So, amidst his streak of making people incredibly unhappy, Liam can be found ending yet another game of poker after laying down his hand.]


Royal Flush. You lose again.


[Action; Everglade - Night]

[Everglade always was the best place to be at night, and Cipher certainly didn't discriminate who he happened to decide to slay that night for energy, be it human or monster. Although he did tend to target monsters more, if only for the additional energy that some of them carried. Should anyone be out this night, they may have the feeling of being watched as Cipher stalked those passing through from the rooftops in the guise of Liam- or, perhaps they may happen upon a more gruesome sight as Cipher, in the form of a
black winged beast, would descend on an unlucky creature to be the meal of the night. He won't attack any pendant carriers, but everything else was free game to him.

Did we say Everglade was the best place to be at night? By that we of course meant it was the worst place.]

[Sakura almost jumps when she hears the tapping and she has to shoo Pikachu and her kitten from the room before opening the window the for the birds to hope inside. As promised she has a small blow of blueberries for the two birds.]

It's good to see you both.

[She smiles brightly before catching sight of the earings.]

This is for me?

[Sakura holds out her palm as the two crows drop the earings. Her emerald eye brighten at the sight of the beautiful pieces.]

This is amazing. Thank you both.

[Azalea had wanted to explore Everglade at night for some time now, to see what kinds of beasts were lurking. Now that she has her clan to fall back on, she decides to bring a few of them for safety.]

[Naturally, she brought Qubine, the clan leader. He needed to know about this world if he was going to lead the clan effectively while they were stuck here.]

[Next was the Shadow dragon, Sabori, the largest of the group. Everglade has always reminded Azalea of the Shadow element, and so she wanted Sabori's opinion of it.]

[Finally, Azalea brought the Light dragon, Amadeus, to serve as an extra healer, and to counter the Shadow element.]

[Together, the dragons explored the city from the rooftops for a little while, before going to the ground to get a closer look.]

[For the moment, the dragons are unaware of Cipher watching them, as they proceed to converse among themselves.]

What do you think, Sabori? [Azalea asks.]

[Sabori glances around.] This would certainly be Shadowbinder territory...if she were here.

[Amadeus scratches his head.] Are you certain the deities don't exist here?

[Azalea responds.] I'm positive. I've never seen them, and no one else in this world seems to have heard of them either.

[Sabori nods.] There are definitely things lurking around here, in any case.

[Amadeus waves his talon in front of his face.] This place reeks of death.

[Qubine lets out a sigh.] Probably the prey that was unfortunate enough to be caught in the dead of night. Keep your guard up, everyone.

[The dragons move forward to explore the city some more, keeping an eye out for any potential predators.]

[Terra hasn't seen Cipher since the auction and she doesn't know what to think considering how the bid had ended. She still feels a little bit awkward about it and seeing the man walk from a bar makes her pause, a question hovering on the tip of her tongue.]

Liam?

[Her voice is soft as she calls him over.]

Are you busy?

[Sakura smiles and while they eat she moves to her mirror to put on the earings. It takes a moment before she returns to the window, the small jewels glinting in the moonlight.]

What do you two think?
greenmagick: (huh)

[personal profile] greenmagick 2016-02-23 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I wanted to ask about the auction.

[She has no idea why she feels so nervous.]

I wondered... Why did you help Athrun?

[The dragons beam at the figure who landed in front of them. They don't see him as a threat just yet. There's only one of him, so he should be easy to take out if necessary.]

The last time anything came back from the dead in our world, it was from a plague. [Amadeus recalls the incident back home.]

[Azalea studies him carefully, trying to find something familiar about the person.] That voice...have we met before?
azaleafae: (Innocent)

[personal profile] azaleafae 2016-02-23 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
No? [Azalea scratches her head.] It must have been someone else then.

[In Qubine's mind, regardless of a potential opponent's strength, these dragons didn't survive the entire Coliseum challenge to be taken out easily in any case.] Then who are you, and what do you want from us, may I ask?

[The dragons exchanged yet another curious glance.]

Dragons becoming extinct? Now there's a troubling thought... [Amadeus muses.]

[Qubine lets out a low growl in agreement. Azalea speaks up to address Liam.]


Well, our subarchway is located in Fayren. But I've been curious about Everglade, so I brought Sabori to see if she can determine if Shadow was the primary element here, because she's a Shadow dragon.

[She gestures to Sabori as she mentions her name.]

[The dragons look especially worried at that comment. After all, it was the deities who gave birth to dragonkind in Sornieth. Would there come a day when the deities would decide to wipe them out? Or in the case of the Arcanist, an accidental catastrophe that would wipe out all life (again)?]

[On the other hand, they really had no reason to worry about that at this point.]

[Sabori speaks up now.]
I can't sense the Shadowbinder here, but this is certainly a type of environment she would create. A dense mist, with spectres that go bump in the night to give hapless travelers a good scare. Although Azalea tells us that there are creatures here that are out for a good meal. That's why we're exploring as a group.

[Qubine taps his chin with a claw.] And this...law only applies at night? That...makes a surprising amount of sense.

[Azalea glances up at him.] ...It does?

[Qubine continues.] We have no...humans...in Sornieth, but from what Azalea tells us, they could easily be classified as a Beastclan species. And if the Beastclans could just stick to their own territories, we wouldn't have this war.

[Amadeus rolls his eyes.] The same could be said of dragonkind...

[Qubine shoots him a glare.] What?

[Amadeus sighs.] Nothing...

[Azalea looks at Liam again.] But...aren't you human? What are you doing out here in the middle of the night?
greenmagick: (Sad Hugs)

[Terra glances around and then shakes her head.]

We can... [It isn't this area that's making her uncomfortable.]

I knew everyone who bid on me. Ronan is my roommate and works at the flower shop. Fai I met the first time I was here so I suppose I've known him for years. Athrun... he's helped me with a lot of different things.

[She hasn't had any particularly strong feels towards any of them.]
azaleafae: (Sad)

[personal profile] azaleafae 2016-02-24 11:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Azalea frowns at that.]

It's true, isn't it? At least we realize that the Beastclans have a very valid reason to despise dragonkind...and yet we can't give up what we've worked so hard to build.
