Secrets Uncovered

Flash_Guardian sits upon the steps leading into the main south entrance to his dojo, arm resting upon his knee and staring down at the ground, deep in thought. In his hand, his fingers play absently with some small and shiny object, turning it over and over.

Revenant Ishara ish there...poofle

Kverk had awoken in the pub, and found himself draped with a sheet over his head and a candle stand within his hand. odd. he rumbled lightly, still with sheet and candle as he plodded along the sands towards the island, his eyes still visible as faint red circles under the cloth

Sam_Seymour turned looking over her shoulder from where she had stood to study the lay out of the land....Green eyes settling on the male from yesterday as yet not even knowing his name she turns fully now and begins walking back to the building she had spent so much time studying

Flash_Guardian hears the sound of footfalls upon the grass, the sound breaking him from his trance as he stands looking back to the woman with a smile. "So, finally back from your explorations I see?" His arms fold in front of him casually, glancing around the clearing briefly. "So what do you think?"

Sam_Seymour shrugs ly " It's an island with a building on....." head turning about looking before her attention goes back to him nodding to the structure behind him " Based on Japanese by the looks of it kinda like their old temples"

Flash_Guardian looks at Sam happily, rising from his seat and dusting off his backside with the hand not still clutching something. "That's the idea," he says proudly, nodding. "So, did you also get a chance to finish what business you had here? Or is that yet to come?" He stands before the dark haired woman, content to let her lead for a time seeing as he has no other agenda as yet, hands resting at his sides.

Sam_Seymour takes a deep breathe letting it out slowly...." To come" rising a brow slightly " So just where are your hounds today chasing someone else down are they?"

Flash_Guardian shakes his head and rolls his eyes. "Off pursuing their own agendas I would expect," he tells her flatly and non-amused. "One such 'hound' you refer to is a friend of mine. The other ... well, I'm not sure what to think about him. In any case, neither of them really work for me, if that's what you're thinking. Devaine and I just happen to have the same desire to see Glyniss return to us safely. As for Veromem, he seems to follow whatever amuses him at the time."

Kverk grumbled again his vision was slightly obscured by the white cloth over his head and he half stumbled as he reached the beginning of the land bridge, turning sharply onto it and plodding on regardless.

Sam_Seymour tilts her head a little as she studies him lips pressed tightly....." And this Glyniss you talk about......why do you want her back..it is a she I take it?"

Flash_Guardian frowns now at the woman, brows knitting slightly. He mumbles more to himself, "Strange that you do not know of her, seeing as your rings are so alike in nature ..." His hand opens, revealing the ring openly once more, a silver ring with a leaf pattern and strange runic markings, shining lightly in the dim winter's sunlight. Back to his conversational tone, he replies, "Yes, Glyniss is a she. And we want her back for the same reason that any friend of hers would. We believe she is in danger, and wish to help her. That's what friends do. They look out for one another."

Sam_Seymour eyes drop to his hand watching the ring nestled therein...before those deep emerald eyes lift to met his own her voice low kinda soft " Just what kinda of danger do you think she's in?" her finger absently rubbing over the thumb ring feeling its engravings...maybe the touch of it there gave her confidance who knows

Flash_Guardian takes a calming breath, his voice lower and head bending towards Sam slightly as he continues. "The more Dev and I learn about the situation, the more we think she's been taken by a demon of some kind." Flash looks behind him to the dojo entrance. "Perhaps you'd like to come inside to discuss this further? I wouldn't mind having a seat."

Sam_Seymour brows knit wondering how they had deduced that much before nodding her grip tightening on the back pack as she swings it slightly...." Sure I dont mind...lead the way........soo Dev.? which one of the guys was it "

Kverk grumbled again, the wind whipped about the sheet tearing from his head, he gave a triumphant rumble and continued on over the landbradge heading straight for the dojo at doubled speed.

Flash_Guardian steps up to the door, opening it with one hand and holding it open for the lady. With his free hand, he gestures up to one of his eyes. "Dev was the one with the bluish glow in his eyes. He's kinda easy to tell from the others in that regard."

Sam_Seymour rises a brow watching him but a few seconds before following him upwards one step at a time making sure the back pack does not bang on the steps..." Ahhh....the hot temper guy....might have guessed it was him"

PhorenNarqu slowly wandered up, to the Dojo, from the beach, having just washed ashore and dried in the sun, a smile on his face. Content. Things, it seemed, were finally going right.

Kverk halted , his eyes turning one way then the otheras he surveyed the beach, he made another low rumbling sound and begin to trudge up the beach toward the tree line, only to vanish from sight and behind the dojo

Flash_Guardian just chuckles, grinning as he follows Sam inside, shutting the door behind him and making his way towards a seat at one of three tables. "Yeah, Dev has a tendency to get a bit rough sometimes when there's something he wants. And the longer it takes to get it, the rougher he gets." Flash simply shakes his head, waiting for the other woman to make herself comfortable.

Sam_Seymour looks around the room she had been lead to watching as Flash found a sit and indeed did seat down....stepping to another chair not too far off she sits lowering her body onto its surface as she lets the pack rest against a leg...eyes shifting to look at him now...." Dont tell me his the doer of the group his damn well aint the thinker"

Flash_Guardian considers such a notion, rubbing his chin as he sits upright in the chair facing the woman's. "Doer seems to fit him quite nicely, actually. He's got a keen eye for things, but I don't think his mind is quite able to wrap around all the details all the time. Anyway ..." Flash leans forward now, returning to the previous topic. "I'll tell you why we think demons are involved. First of all is how we got this ring. It came out of the hands of a particularly pesky pekkle." Flash stops momentarily, tilting his head. "Wow, say that three times fast. But yeah, a nastly little imp who was tormenting us all for a while. He appeared here sometime after Glyniss disappeared, and he had Glyniss's ring to boot."

Sam_Seymour nods though at the first mention of a imp her whole body langauage seems to change....become tense and more alert almost sitting upright in the chair rather then her casaulness she had displayed til now.....licking her lips lightly " Imp.......what imp?"

PhorenNarqu opened a door, and stepped inside, looking around and then searching the Dojo, for them. Well, Flash, really.

Flash_Guardian simply shrugs, looking like he really doesn't have a clue. "Nothing more I can really tell you about him. He's small, has acidic blood, and fires burning acidic spikes from his tail. Has a habit of using planar travel, but that's nothing unique as far as demons go. Thankfully, we managed to trap him in a demon bottle before he could cause any more mischief. He's being held prisoner here until we get Glyniss back. In fact, I was hoping on using him as a bargaining chip to get her back from his master ... assuming it's his master that has her."

Flash_Guardian is sitting at a table in the south wing with Sam having a discussion. Upon seeing the front door open and Phoren appear, he abruptly ceases talking. "Oh ... hello, Phoren. Glad to see you about." He nods, yet looks back to the woman tentatively. More introductions may be in order.

[PhorenNarqu ] "Who's this, Flash? Trying to emulate my recent luck?" He couldn't help but snicker a little at that, but turned to the woman "No offense, by the way."

Sam_Seymour eyes narrow listening to him....her tongue tip once more licking over dry lips............this might be what she needs blinking as Flash says about capturing the thing her body jerking head turning sharply around as the door opens and another male appears....her eyes scanning over him quickly her hand dropping to her pocket after last night she wants to be ready this time around

Flash_Guardian just shakes his head, gaze rising slightly. "Relax, Sam. This is Phoren, one of the dojo's many residents. Phoren, this is Sam." Flash sits back just a little after making introductions, marginally bitter about having been interrupted, though it isn't enough for him to bother expressing.

[PhorenNarqu ] "Nice to meet you, Sam."

Sam_Seymour sideglances Flash unsure when names had been exchanged but lets it go..her attention back on Phoren giving him a slight nod in acknowledgement only the furture will tell if the feelings returned...

Hope slowly walks along the beach of this island, her eyes gazing at all of the land. Hope sighs as she feels a cool brezze blow through her small body making her skirt raise alittle. Hope glances at an opening which eneds up to be a path, she thinks about walking up it as she turns toward it a smile plays across her face.

Flash_Guardian looks between Sam and Phoren for a moment, blinking. "Is something wrong?"

[PhorenNarqu ] "I don't know."

Sam_Seymour shakes her head once before she dismisses Phoren and looks back at Flash..." Should there be...?"

Hope keeps walking up the trail untill she reachs a strange place she looks at it from where she stood and raised a brow as she heard voices. Hope takes afew steps towards it and stands still once again, as she is about to take another step another small brezze lifts her skirt. Hope sighs and shakes her head as she walks up to the Dojo door.

Flash_Guardian just shrugs and shakes his head likewise. "Anyway, yeah," he says, returning to their earlier conversation. "Nasty demon was reason number one. Reason number two actually happens to be this ring, Glyniss's ring." Flash carefully sets the ring down on the table just in front of him, still easily within his reach. "Dev and I both gathered info about this ring from our own sources. Apparently it has quite the history." His gaze narrows, glancing to the ring upon the woman's own hand. "But you probably already know about all that ..." He glances to the main door of the dojo now, hearing another's approach.

[PhorenNarqu ] "Uh... Flash? Can we talk outside for a minute?"

Hope stands at the door in quite not speaking, moving or about to move.

Flash_Guardian half-smiles and looks to Phoren apologetically. "Sorry, Phoren ... I'm afraid the lady here had me first. Can it wait until later?"

[PhorenNarqu ] "Well, no. It sort of involves me having doomed my people... So..."

Hope knocks lightly on the door as she sighs alittle, she thinks 'This is a bad idea' she turns around and begins walking away. Hope sighs and holds herself again as she walks.

Sam_Seymour eyes drop to the ring on the table lingering upon it only really half listening or maybe thats how it appeared a soft swallow is heard as she shifts an arm stretching out as a finger nudges the ring ...." I see.....soo this Dev is'nt all he appears to be.....nor...you" a frown appearing as brows knit eyes lifting upwards...." I know about the ring" at last conceding something

Flash_Guardian has no idea how to react to something like that which Phoren just stated. He sits there for a time, blinking. "Bummer," he eventually states, sighing and shaking his head. "Well, write it up on the to-do list, and I'll try to work some time in for that, too." At a knocking, Flash calls back, "Come in?" He's not used to having people actually knock, as is evident by the startled look on his face. To Sam, he looks back to her intently and nods. "In a land like this, hardly anything is as it seems. But as for me, I have nothing to hide. You already know of my magical skills. I also happen to know of a well stocked library. Both were helpful in telling me about this ring."

PhorenNarqu sighed, and went to walk outside, shaking his head. Okay, so everything was not going exactly his way. He nodded to the new woman he passed, and wandered, eventually finding his golem, unless it evaded him. A little frown on his face when he saw it.

Hope hears the man yell back but thinks not a good idea... she continues to walk as she stops and spots something in the forest or woods... she stands still untill she notices the eyes. Hope lets out a scream as she turns and runs toward the Dojo and runs into PhorenNarqu and knocks him over as she lands ontop of him.

Sam_Seymour humphs at that remark about appearances my god does he really think he has to tell her that....nothing absolutely nothing has been straight forward here..her finger and thumb press against the ring as she picks it up and holds it to the light gleaning the symbol underneath...yes it was Glyniss's there was her symbol...her fingertip rubbing over the leaf engraving " A very.....interesting library"

[PhorenNarqu ] "Please get off of me."

Hope blinks and scrambles to her feet "I'm so so sorry" she looks at the man as tears form in her eyes as a cut on her knee re opens.

Veromem begins to appear slowly outside the dojo where Flash and Sam are, his body soon forming as the rings grow larger and larger until he appears, a cigarette being pulled from his coat and lit it as he looked at Phoren and Hope, shaking his head softly at the two of them as he took a drag. He leaned againist the building as he wondered how Flash's lead with this woman was going, since she was the only one with any info it appeared

Kverk peered from the underbrush, two red orbs glowing in the relative gloom. he rumbled lowly but stood his ground, crouching low, one huge fist resting against the soft earth.

Flash_Guardian is about to continue when he hears a scream come from outside, unable to ignore such an occurence. He sighs in slight annoyance. "Please forgive me, I'll be right back." He rises from his seat and starts walking to the door to see what the commotion is about, but stops abruptly, turning back to face Sam. "Oh ... don't suppose I can have that back?" he asks, opening his hand and waiting patiently.

Hope looks at this man "It's not what you think" she sighs alittle and looks down at the man and extends a hand "I'm really sorry"

Sam_Seymour nods as Flash gets up though her attention was on the ring she still held.....a frown creasing her forehead as he ask for the ring....and instead of tossing she pushes the chair back scramping it acorss the flooring as she stands....stepping to him and with great care places it relactantly in his open hand.....a deep sigh almost hissing between teeth

PhorenNarqu stood, and wandered off, to the beach again. Watching as it grew darker. And then mistier. Can we guess what comes next? Yep, a fiery ship is headed for the island. Ravens begin to swarm nearby. The breeze dropped off. Screaming faces forming from the fog. And then, he ran, bac to the Dojo, yelling as he went to stay inside, just to stay inside. Toads beginning to fall rom the sky, and splatter on the ground.

Hope walks slowly inside as she looks around, she then pulls out a bandage and begins to bandge up her leg. She sighs again not noticing her legs were apart,... she wipes a tear away and continues to wrap her leg up.

Veromem takes another drag as all the different plagues it seems like begin to descend upon the island, which prompts him to ground his cigarette into the floor and walk into the dojo himself and lean againist a wall, looking over at Hope for a moment before he turned away and snorted softly

Kverk looked skyward, head tilting to one side as he surveyed the clouds. he gave the golem equivalent of a sigh... yes another rumble , as he stood slowly, branches falling away from him as he rose up. he unclenched his fists and began to move, pushing shrubbery from his path as he once again made towards the dojo. 'rwww..grrwwwm'

Hope looks up and then back down noticing her legs and quickly closes them "Um " she sniffles alittle as she looks up at the man that looked at her "Sorry about that" she sighs as she finishs wrapping her leg as she stands and walks out side where it was nice not so warm.

Flash_Guardian accepts the ring gratefully. "Thank you," he tells her before striding to the main door and throwing it open to peer outside. "What's going on?" he asks, gazing this way and that. He sees a young girl ... and Veromem ... and some glowing eyes out in the bushes. And it's raining toads. Flash rolls his eyes skyward, shaking his head. "Never mind, I don't think I want to know," he says as the girl walks past him inside. Followed by Veromem. "Won't you come in?" he asks them both in posthumous sarcasm, watching as the familiar golem now makes his way in towards the dojo entrance. Good thing the south entry is double doors ...

Kverk nodded to flash, the sound of grinding gravel following his very movement and within a few strides he was there, stooping to get within the door and of course holding it open for others to pass through first.

Veromem smirks at Hope as he looks at her again "Don't be sorry, and keep them open. It's a way better view than what's going on outside to be honest" He then looks at Flash and smirks "Hey, I have no idea why it's raining toads out there Flash, and really, I don't want to know why, since usually animals don't fall from the sky like that unless the weather on this island is that screwy"

Sam_Seymour rises a brow as she hears the soft thuds and croaks from outside.....and was that a scream in the distance stepping away from the door and Flash she quickly steps back to her seat leaning down to swing the back pack over her shoulder as she turns at the sound of multiply footsteps

Flash_Guardian just looks around to the various occupants of his dojo, new and old alike. "I guess I should say welcome? Ummm ... I'm afraid you caught me at a bad time, so for now just make yourselves comfortable." Flash quickly shoots a purposeful look to Sam. "There are plenty of other rooms."

Hope nods "I would but its hot in there " she notices the eyes and quickly runs back in and pver to a corner sitting the way she does in her picture. Hope sighs and thinks to herself ' I guess i'm stuck here" she blushs at what Veromem says, she then walks over to him "You that is very crude" she smiles alittle and giggles. She looks up at him "Do you have a spare smoke in there somewhere?" she thinks to herself once again 'Maybe its not that bad after all...'

PhorenNarqu st rain in through the doors, frantically grabbig furniture as well as he could "Help me barricade the doors! All of you!" He was scared.

Veromem blinks at Phoren and his mad scramble to try and throw as much junk in front of the doors as possible, looking towards Hope as he pulls out a cigarette and hands it to her "I don't think we can smoke inside because of Flash's rules, but then again, I have no clue why that weird man is trying to keep us in here so badly" He then leans down and whispers to Hope himself

Flash_Guardian indeed speaks up quickly at talk of ciggarettes. "No smoking in the dojo, thank you. If you must, please do so outside."

Kverk moved slowly over to one side, standing silently, his red eyes watching them all, every now and then blinking out. he remained motionless otherwise , as passive as a statue.

Flash_Guardian glares at Phoren, thoroughly exasperated at this point. "Uh, Phoren? The dojo has shields, you know. Please put the furniture back."

[PhorenNarqu ] "Shields won't work! They won't! They'll get me!"

Sam_Seymour only nods to Flash statement eyes glancing over the suddenly crowded place.....lingering over the large lump of stone she had seen lumbering into the room found a place to park and settled there..stepping back as Phoren whips the chair away seconds before she had been sitting on fixzing it to a pile of other furniture pieces at the entrance....." Is it always as crazy as this here"

Hope takes the smoke and places it on the tip of her mouth she then blushes deeply the ciggerette falls to the ground from her mouth "Really" she smirks and looks at him she bends down and picks up the ciggerette and places it back in her mouth "You wouldn't mind lighting me up" she smiles up at him,... When Veromem would hoepfully light it up she would walk toward the doors and stands outside onto the porch.

Flash_Guardian responds to Sam through gritted teeth. "Not normally, no." He lets out a slow breath through his teeth. "By the gods, I've become a 'sitter." Shaking his head, he begins to exit the common room, heading for one of the private studies. "If you'll follow me?"

Veromem looks at Flash with a sour look and with his eyes showing that he was not amused at Phoren's antics, so he just leaned againist the wall still, giving a small wave at Sam "Yo. Good to see you again" He did light up Hope's cig, getting a great view as she bent over before he followed her through the crummily built barricade to stand with Hope and smoke

Hope x's the walk towards the door blah blah blah...... :' [Flash_Guardian ] ... and pats hope on the head.

[PhorenNarqu ] "Don't go out there... Don't go out there... They'll get you!"

Veromem is standing outside, having a smoke Phoren. Seesh, and that was a crummy barricade

Kverk turned, watching flash move away from the 'throng' hur hur. *coughs* he slowly begant move again, a mountain in motion. each foot making a dull thud as it cme into contact with the floor. following slowly behind the master of the dojo and his... companion.

PhorenNarqu knows. That post wa before they went outside, really.

[PhorenNarqu ] "Kverk! Hel-p me barricade this door!"

Hope stands next to Veromem "Well i'm Hope" she smiles lightly and then turns and looks out into the forest she see's the glowing eyes again she then jumps and grabs onto Veromem holding onto him.

Sam_Seymour nods to Veo as yet unsure why its good for him to see her....attention lingering on the ever increasing madness that seems to be Phoren turning sharply towards the room Flash seemed to motion to....and after a few seconds follows

Flash_Guardian has never heard the name Kverk before, as it has never been given to him. He can only assume that Phoren is referring to the golem. "Please don't help him barricade the door," Flash tells the golem exasperatedly as he leaves for the study with Sam on his heels.

Flash_Guardian walks the young woman into the study, which is about as sparsely furnished as the common room, with only a single desk and two chairs. Flash makes his way to the far side of the room, content to seat himself upon the floor and allow her a place by the door. "You can lock that, if you'd like," he tells the woman, gesturing to the doorknob. "Anyway, where were we?"

Sam_Seymour steps into the room and stops taking this time to look about noting where the windows are and other exits it was always best to be safe then sorry and she wasnt too sure still about this male no matter for all his soft words......after all doesnt a spider ask the fly into the parlour before devouring it...all she does do is step away from the door in case others do want to come in...slipping onto a chair as she once more slips the back pack from her shoulder to rest upon the floor

[Flash_Guardian ] The only exits from the study are the door next to her and a single window which looks out on the yard. "Right," Flash continues. "I believe we were talking about the ring. More specifically, its past." Flash's eyes go open wide. "And what a past it holds, let me tell you. I almost don't want to go into the details ..."

Sam_Seymour nods as she leans back at least for now looking as if she's relaxing..." And why's that....?" eyes narrowing just the barest...." Just what histroy did you discover anyway....afterall its a fairly plain ring"

Flash_Guardian shrugs, an amused look on his face. "Oh, you know. The usual. Forged from silver used in the legendary blade known as Dragonslayer, passed from hand to hand over the ages, used in the slaying of demons, werewolves, possessed by Joan of Arc at one point, involved in several bloody rituals, witchcraft and other earth magics. Most recently the witchcraft." As placid as Flash is when saying all this, it's quite obvious that he's joking ... the ring's past is anything but typical.

Sam_Seymour rises a brow an almost mused if not somewhatr surprised look showing on her features, not so much from the past but by the amout of the past he had manaaged to uncover just by using some library somewhere. Sighing softly " Okay......we both know that the ring has a vivid past......apart from its connection to this friend of yours what interest does it hold for you or your...emm friends?"

Flash_Guardian shrugs. "The primary interest in the ring would definitely be Glyniss. It's the only link we have to her at the moment, really. Besides the imp, but he's not talking." Flash looks darkly to one side, not remembering the imp's actions favorably. "I suppose once we actually find her, I'll need to give her back her ring. It is hers, after all."

Sam_Seymour nods slowly conceding once more...." The ring is hers.......yes....it has her symbol"

Sam_Seymour looks at him intently now her emerald eyes locked on his ....she wasnt probing his mind that wasn't her field...yet but the deep intent look might easily give him that impression her admission she knew would also concede other things besides the ownership of the ring

Flash_Guardian nods, showing a bit of surprise as the other woman at last begins to express some of her own knowledge, knowledge that Flash knew was probably there all along. He grins just slightly. "So that's the meaning of the symbol, then. That would explain why with even my intensive studies of magic I've never seen such before." He leans in a bit closer. "And you do know of Glyniss. I was right." His words are far from gloating, more filled with hope.

Sam_Seymour head dips slightly in a nods....." I know of her yes.......I......however did not know of you......or" her gaze goes to the door before returning with just as much intense...." The others"

Flash_Guardian brings his hands together and rests them on his knee. "Well, now you do." No way to say it more simply than that. "The name's Flash, if you didn't catch it earlier. The rest? Well, I can introduce you to them as you meet them." He pauses for a moment to reflect. "I suppose the first time I met Glyniss was back in the Pub, actually. She was hanging out there with a friend of hers by the name of Kade and a couple of others. A real social butterfly, she is," Flash muses with a sad grin. "I doubt I'm the only person that misses her and wants to see her safe return. She has a lot of friends." Flash now looks back to Sam, his look giving her the impression that he knows she has more knowledge to let on about. "I hope Glyniss is a friend of yours as well?"

Sam_Seymour leans back a little nodding in the apperiate places........" Well liked.......?" she frowns slightly if that had been the case why was it they were told she was alone....." And thats the only reason you want her back......your....friends...?" the frown slowly slipping from her features yes....Glyniss was the outgoing one.....shifting from one side to the other side " And just what is it I'm supposed to tell you........Flash" emphasing the last word

Flash_Guardian nods to all of Sam's questions, shrugging casually. "Hey, that's what friends do, right? They help each other. Just like she helped me before, when I lost my mind." Flash catches his poor word choice, his face going quite serious for a moment. "I mean that literally, mind you. My mind was literally 'displaced.' Glyniss ... well, she helped me through that little tough spot. Not to mention all the hard work she's put in freeing the Triad from its prison and helping to build this very dojo." Flash relaxes once more, leaning back against the nearby desk. "So, yes. I do want her back." And now to confront that last question. "I don't really know what I want you to tell me. The goal, of course, is to find Glyniss and get her back. The demon led us to the ring, and the ring led us to you. Now I don't know if you can lead me to Glyniss or not ..." Flash leans forward again, eyes intent upon her. "But maybe you can at least lead me somewhere . At this point, you're the only lead we have."

Sam_Seymour listens to his words with what appears to be a great deal of care..satisfied he was at least telling her the trueth of what little he seems to know...." Ler me ask you something......did you or anyone knew that Glyniss was a witch.....a fully trained witch...?" as she spoke she watched him intently her eyes resting and locked on his..

Flash_Guardian breaks from the woman's gaze, eyes wandering about for a time in shock, wholly startled by her statement. Eventually he shakes his head and looks back to Sam. "I ... beg your pardon? I mean, I know Glyniss's voice has always had a magical quality all its own, but ..." And then a small light gets lit up in his memory, a slow smile creeping over his lips. "Although there was that time with the scroll, and a few other times aboard the Triad ... she didn't seem to be much of a stranger to the ways of magic, really." Again, the shock returns full force, his gaze staring back at the woman incredulously. "Glyniss is a witch?!"

Sam_Seymour nods slowly a slight smile beginning to curve those lips upwards....obviously Glyniss had not told these people everything...." Glyniss has a certain shall we say quiality to it......so naturally it was clear to her path........yes....a full pledged witch....teained here and aboard" of course he might not realise she didnt mean trained in the keep

Flash_Guardian shakes his head in bewilderment. "Wow ... I honestly never would have guessed." Slowly the pieces start to fit together in his mind. "So Glyniss is a witch ... which would explain the witchcraft in the ring's history, and Devaine's visions. At least to an extent. And I suppose that would explain why a demon would want to come after her in the first place. After all, darker magics and demons tend to go hand in hand." Flash ponders for a moment before speaking his assumptions. "Maybe she stepped on the wrong demon's toes, and said demon exacted some kind of revenge by abducting her?" His forehead wrinkles, as he himself isn't too inclined to believe such a story.

Sam_Seymour stays quiet as she listens to his assumptions....still unsure how far to trust him........" Didnt you say you had ...what was it an imp captured.....hasnt he told you anything....how did you first connect him to Glyniss besides the emm ring"

Flash_Guardian shrugs at that. "Honestly, the demon and I haven't spoken much. And now that he's in the bottle, we've talked even less." Flash thinks for a moment, trying to remember if the demon has said anything. "Can't remember anything important that the demon may have said ... oh! But he was also wearing Glyniss's necklace when we first encountered him. I think he still has it on, in fact. Devaine made it for her. Seashells and shark's teeth."

Sam_Seymour almost smiles to herself....sooo it seems Flash deals with magic and such whilst this Dev has visions....unusual compainions for Glyniss to have a brow rised at the description of the necklace somehow not able to see Glyniss actually wearing such an item....." I see....and....just where is this bottle you mentioned youve got the imp in?" her body tensing just a tad as she asks that very question not believing she could be so close to finding out what she needed to know what she was here to know...

Flash_Guardian reaches down to the pouch hanging from his belt at his side with a hand, patting it once or twice. "Got him right here," Flash says with a smirk. "Trapped in a demon bottle and stowed away in my own private extradimensional space. Can't get much more secure that that." Flash gets a crazy idea, giving the other woman a sidelong glance. "I don't suppose you'd like to try having a word with him yourself? I could arrange for a magic containment circle and let him loose, if you'd like ..."

Sam_Seymour blinks taking a sharp gasps.....she couldnt believe her luck....instantly cursing the betrayed reaction to his offer he would have to have been blinded not to see how eager she was.....easing herself back against the chair and trying to recover what she had lost hopefully....." And what if I would?"

Flash_Guardian shrugs casually, noting that he seems to have at last found what the woman is after. "Like I said - if that's what you want, I can arrange it. Just say the word. But, uhh ... there's one condition." Flash leans a bit closer, wanting to make his words clear. "I want to be there to overhear the conversation, or no deal." Not a particularly costly condition, in his mind. But it's always good to have conditions in any kind of negotiation. Otherwise, you'll never get ahead.
