Note: "This is one of those where I lost connection to Yahoo and thus the first part of the session is missing." ~ Kehle

Makoto Knightwind lets a small Chuckle come." I am afraid my uncle is correct my lady.I am of no blood relation to him. " As far as Makoto knew he wasnt. " Ashamed really ..I would call him my uncle any day infront of any whom asked.He was there for me when I did need him . Just like an Uncle should be." As he gave a rather charasmatic grin.The streaks of red with-in his black hair mixing in more as he brushed his hair back behind his pointed ear. His dragon like tail still curled to his side.Makoto was rather an enigma to most people.

Iatha Arches an eyebrow lightly, no blood relation? Aww..what a shame. Oh well..she would survive. Besides, she could sense some familarity within their blood. Form turning, she moves over to them both. Arms withdrawling from her velvet cloak slightly and attempting to move around either of their shoulders, jsut fora bit, so her fingers may brush over their neck flesh, before she slides them off. "I knwo the feeling, but I was unaware skiddish Nicholas could mean so much to another. Other then his dog...who has grown little, I see. I am Iatha..Lord Kayo's sister and soon to be queen of the realm of Death..."

Makoto Knightwind simply steps away letting his shadowed wings shift slightly. He didn't think it appropriate for her to be touching him.They werent clos enough for that." A pleasure then My lady. I am Makoto Knightwind. Sond of Ryia Stargazer and Rayven Knightwind. Currently King of the land of ancients, Avalon. That is neither ere nor there though. I would ask you not talk of my uncle so though. For indeed he does mean much to me." Makoto speaking his request most politely. As a king should speak.

Nick Corwin does not move away from Iatha's touch but does not like it either. He sighs and hangs his head at her insults of him. Or maybe they are insults, he's not sure. He doesn't find it hard to belive that he has friends that care about him though. And he has a whole lot of siblings. the Arepharis family is a pretty large one. Nick is proud of the restraint Makoto shows. He'll make a good king.

Iatha Her arm misses Makoto,but she pays it to mind, instead brings it around Nicholas, giving him a hug, for the sheer joy of seeing him squim, should he allow it, before she moves her arms from him. Gaze moving to Makoto, nods slightly. She would have to look up those names earlier, but she was sure she knew them from somewhere. "Then around you, I shall spare the words that he makes no attempt to ease himself...all the more fun. Should Kayos find out, he wouild be pleased to hear of his knights powerful and regel, none the less, adoptions. " Glances to Nick, grinning widly at him. "No words but a few? I haven't even fed from you! Though that would create a problem, so I cannot..and i have no desire to. What are your ambitons?"

Makoto Knightwind ahemd." My lady that is hardly proper behavior for a future queen.Even if it be the kingdom of death." He curtly points out. " The lord Kayos maynot know of my existance .However i find it highly irrelevent to anyone why My uncle shouldn't have family. Unless one wishes him to become a prude and that if im not mistaken would be ill appropriate behaviour for a knight. They are expected to be generalypolite for the kingdoms sake.Especialy if one of those contacts means better relations with another kingdom. " Makoto again flashed a charasmatic smile Iatha's way. " Though bare in mind i have nothing but the up most respect My lady."

Nick Corwin does not try to dodge Iatha's hug. He just sits there like a good little solider obeying orders. She does greatly out rank him. And most of his rank privliges were taken away recently. "I have no ambitions." He's not sure he's the one being spoken to, the question seems so odd to him. He'd really rather Kayos never heard of either of hte kingdoms Makoto's parents come from. Otherwise Nick fears Kayos would try to take them both. They're both so highly magical. Nick just keeps his eyes on the table. He's always so well guarded around Iatha.

Iatha An eyebrow arches when she glances over to Makoto again. Proper behavoir of a queen..obviously he didn;t know her. Dentril wouldn't mind, as he knew she loved him to death and past it even. "Your opinons are noted and heard, Lord Makoto. Though I am sure, I may rule fine as it is, along with my soon to be husband. When alliances are to be formed, I shall be on my best behavor possible..though I will still be myself. I have no intention of letting it falter. Not only would it upset the balance..but the leagues of undead wouldn't get to eat..as wellas myself. Your future as a kind seems set thrugh..perhaps when I have been queen and not a mere sibling with power..i shall feel that resposnability to. Until then, I shall enjoy life.. Even it makes me appear as a female that lacks queen like responsablity. We all rule in our own way. " Grins at him, then glances around the room for a moment. Unsure what else to do, as torturing Nick was pointless with another around. It lacked fun...

Makoto Knightwind simply nods." Such is your decision but I humbly ask you please move off My uncle like that. I came here to visit with him and well it seems your touching him causes him dis-pleasure making visiting with him most assuredly difficult. I am sure though you understand this polite but humble request. It is simply a matter of family. Not that I find your company dis-pleasing.It has been a very long time since i have met a woman with such flare for life. Infact id dare say I would wish to meet you again and talk more. " As he shifted slightly to face her." Intelegence is a most rare quality in people. I of course was not calling you a bad person.I simply noted bevahiours with which i am not acustomed too. " he bowed lightly" My appologies My lady."

Nick Corwin isn't reall comfortable with everyone pointing out how uncomfortable he is. Why do they have to call attention to it? He's not used to being uncomfortable. He's used to being fully in control of every sitation. But then that was before he returned to Kayos' employ. Here Kayos and Iatha are in control. Nick can say nothing to either of them. All he can do it cry to his mother like a hurt child and ask her to do something. He doesn't do that however. If Zelda steps in on his behalf, it is always on her own acord, never becuase Nick asked her to. He has more dignity than that. "Acutally, Iatha has already proven herself a worthy leader. She leads the undead forces of Kelosh known as the Crimson Fang." Nick was raised in this millitary setting. He learned to respect authority before he learned to speak. He might not like Iatha around, but he can't deny she is a great leader. He's sure Makoto will go far too. Nick has nothing but repect for both of Makoto's parents.

Iatha She felt the same..as taunting Nick seemed a losing battle for the time being. He wasn't even trying to fight. Glancesto Nick, studying him for a moment when he speaks, a smirk forming over her lips, then back to Makoto. Amazing..how he carried so much flair...an his words..so..calm. And Nick';s words..even after she had tortured him ina soft manner. Perhaps it would be best if she leftthem be..not only did she have to speak to Kayo's..but she had little point here. Besides, she could listne n if she wished to. Notthat she would ofcoruse, she rearly did..but if thinks happened to come across her senses when she wasn't trying to get them, so be it. A faint smile moves over her lips when she looks to them both, though Nick ws avioding eye cotnact... "I should take my leave as it is. My real purpose was to visit with Kayo's, but instead I found you and your little group. It was a pleasure to meet you, M'lord. I can only hope that when we met again, we shall not have the tension within the air. Goodbye Nicolas...Lord Makoto.." She curtis to them in her way, then turns and moves out. Iatha moves off to find her brother.

Makoto Knightwind simply glancing at her.His shadowed Gaze upon her bowing lightly . " My lady" Again standing tall and torwards Nick. " Uncle.." he simply saying. His tail curled to his right side again. His hands still behind his back. " Most interesting woman. She reminds me of my deceased sister Shayan. " He spoke well of his siter always so that was a compliment in his own way." I have come though with a special favor besides attending the coronation ball. It is my mothers old sword Starfyre. She no longer weilds it and has asked me to pass it on to you. I would carry it my self but it is my wish to bare my fathers sword. My mother i assure you understands this."

Nick Corwin "Shayan is dead?" He looks a little thoughtful, maybe a little sad. He never met the girl first hand, but can remember flashes of her and Rayven's feelings for her through the psionic connection the Slayers used to share. Nick doesn't have that connection now, he was asked to hand over his Slayer armor. He looks up at Makoto now as if a great inner strugle goes on. He prefers guns over swords himself, but just got into a hell of a lot of trouble going after his own old sword. He would consider it an honor to wield Starfyre, but to do so, he's have to ask the soul that lives in his current weapon to change homes. That's not an easy task, but it's been done before.Wait, come to think of it, that soul was just thrown into an old sword of it, It can be done. It's a nice sword. It's a nice weapon. He can't rightly decline as the warrior he is. "I'd be honored to carry your mother's sword. You sure she's okay with that?"

Makoto Knightwind nods letting his hands come up as shadows form dancing over them.He has learned his fathers magic well.The sword starting to appear.Ornately decorated with black mythril and silver runes down the black Blade.The handle enchanted to form to the grip of its weilder. The sheath was black leather with Avalonian symbols up the side of the weapon. Makoto extending the blade via levatation to him." She wished it.She said you once saved her lifeand now that she is no longer in the situation to fight.She wants STarfyre to be used by a true friend and warrior. Plus your family and she knows you would never weild it to cause harm to any.Uncle i give you now the paladin sword of Avalon ..Starfyre.." Makoto giving the blade as much respect as he would any king or god. The blade deserved it.

Nick Corwin starts to reach out to take the blade, but pauses amost wincing at some of Makoto's words. Knows he wouldn't cause harm to any? That's right Ryia and Makoto only knew him as a protector while he was a Slayer. Before and after that he was an assassin, but he never saw that side of him. He pauses to think. He doesn't want to kill anymore, but Kayos might order him to anyway. "I will not use this sword to harm another in cold blood." Nick's word is his bond. He's honorable, just not always friendly. He reaches out to acept the blade. If for some reason he has to kill agian, he'll just use his guns."I will do my best to honor this gift and your family through Starfyre."

Makoto Knightwind smiles.." I know you will Uncle. " The sword resting in his hand.The power of the blade was warm and almost intoxicating.Many wished to hold it.Ryia loved the blade.Its secrete was because the blade was made nearly 11,000 years ago by the most master of craftsman. Starfyre almost sort of forming a bond with nick.He knew no one could weild it now but him." I look forward to re visiting you uncle. I must depart for now though."

Nick Corwin likes the feel of the blade in his hands. It feels as though it belongs there. It's not the katana he's used to using, but he knows how to use a knight sword as well. Starfyre feels like it just came home. Or that's how Nick feels. He's not sure the blade as a life of it's own, if so then there could be trouble when he asks Wraith to move in. He seems to be having a lot of trouble with inteligant items lately. He feels almost lost sometimes. "I am glad you stopped by Makoto. I'm sorry Lark was such a bitch. She's always like that. Take care." He smiles warmly. "And stop by any time you wish."

Makoto Knightwind shook his head." Lark will always be Lark. I find it funny that she did kiss me once. I am glad the truth finally has shown through." He turned." Untill Next I visit..and farewell to you Starfyre" Though no the blade didnt have a life of its own.It was simply a deep power hidden in the blade that only its weilder could feel.A shadow coming and he was gone.
