Vin_Da_DM: Previously on Warriors of Destiny: As the Warriors faced off against Daegriss and his minions they prepared for battle. Using his powers Finn disrupted Daegriss� corporeal form and sent both the dark lord and himself to the godly plane. This lowered the force-field allowing the battle to begin.
Vin_Da_DM: While Raisha and Recluse fought against the Warriors, Cain remained near Clarice with his knife at her throat. The group sustained numerous injuries before Raisha was defeated and Recluse fled. Meanwhile, a robed figure stood to the side watching the battle.
Vin_Da_DM: Seeing his allies leave, Cain offered the Warriors a trade. After some discussion Tewyn decided to exchange himself for Clarice. Cain then took Tewyn away, leaving the group to watch the mysterious figure unbind Clarice and then vanish.
Vin_Da_DM: Taking the injured back to the ship, Clarice said that the twins were on a planet called Saqarra.
Vin_Da_DM: As the group healed and the ship sailed through hyperspace a group of mysterious people with Cain and Recluse watched them and discussed about �turning� Tewyn.
Vin_Da_DM: Ettik continues to glide through hyperspace. Several hours have passed...
Vin_Da_DM: $ Start
^Vincent^ lays in his bed staring at his new claw. �I wonder how well you work?�
^Shinta tries to fight nodding off sitting by Katie.
Vin_Da_DM: In the medical bay, Alexei is looking over a holographic display. Eyeing Shinta he sighs, �Seems the damage was worse than we thought.�
^Vincent^ looks at his hand then clenches his fist to make the blades slide out. Smiles, then stands, slides his blades back in and heads for the galley.
Claron smiles contently as Tabris rolls over grabbing the sheet to cover his naked ass.
^Shinta jumps slightly, �Huh...What is it?�
Vin_Da_DM: Wrapping the sheet around him he gets out of the bed and makes his way into the bathroom, �Now that was refreshing��
^Vincent^ grabs a beer and some pretzels, sits, then swipes at the top of the bottle with one of the blades.
Vin_Da_DM: Pressing a few of the controls he looks at the readouts, �I�m not exactly sure. But it seems to be a neural disruption. Whatever happened to her knocked her brain patterns out of whack.�
Clarice lays quietly on Tewyn�s bed wishing he was laying next to her.
^Shinta nods. �I see...So, will take time for her to heal.�
Vin_Da_DM: The tip of the bottle sits there for a moment before sliding off onto the tabletop.
^Vincent^: �Sweetness!� Grabs the bottle and drinks.
Vin_Da_DM: �Seems that way. Not much I can do besides offer my support.� Alexei studies Shinta for a moment before heading into the tank room to check on Eclipse.
Luna_Faline finally gives up my prays and lays down on the bed, wondering why I feel so disconnected from Selenia. I stretch then close my eyes dozing off.
Tabris: �I hope Clarice is doing okay...Tewyn�s trading himself for her hit her pretty hard.� Tabris walks out of the bathroom and sits on the bed, rubbing Claron�s foot.
^Shinta stands over Katie and starts saying a prayer��Come back to us soon.� Caresses her face.
^Vincent^ rests his feet on the table leans back in his chair eating the pretzels and taking swigs from the beer.
Vin_Da_DM: In her sleep Luna begins to dream of Selenia�s white and shining city. The streets seem oddly empty and the breeze is cold and biting.
Vin_Da_DM: Nodding quietly Alexei walks out of the med bay.
Claron nods to Tabris, �I would have gladly gone if it meant our children would have been returned to us safe and sound. However, I am curious as to how Clarice knows the whereabouts of our babies...What if...mmmm...that feels so good�� not finishing her last thought.
^Shinta heads out of Med Bay.
Luna_Faline moves down the streets looking around, pulling my robe closed tighter against the chill air.
Vin_Da_DM: The streets are barren, but items lay scattered about in chaos. Off in the horizon beyond the edge of the city the sky is thick with smoky clouds and a faint red glow.
^Vincent^ burps loudly then stands. �Wonder what they do for fun on this boat?� Wanders around the galley.
^Shinta calls out, �Kyo, come on, there is nothing more we can do...We have to hope her stubbornness pulls her thru again.�
Claron: �I can�t wait to hold our babies in my arms again,� smiling at Tabris as she removes her foot from his hand and replaces it with her other foot.
Vin_Da_DM: �I�m afraid Ettik isn�t set up for entertainment. There are a few holo-games in the database, plenty of reading material and some recordings,� Alexei replies to Vincent as he enters the galley and walks over to the food storage.
Tabris: �It will be good to see them,� Tabris nods as he takes her other foot, �I just hope they�re okay and not hurt.�
^Vincent^: �Hey, Alexei...holo games, huh�sounds...fun.�
^Shinta enters his room and sits listening to Kyo and Remy fight.
Luna_Faline calls out in my dream world, �Guardian? Telepi?� Moving faster along the road toward the palace gates.
Claron nods her head, �They better not have hurt one little hair on either one of their heads��
Vin_Da_DM: The gates to Selenia�s castle hang wide open, once beautiful gardens are decaying. The two-headed scorpion totters around with several legs missing, vainly trying to manage the dying flora.
Luna_Faline pauses at the broken gates, tears moving slowly down my cheeks. �Mistress?� I call out. Watching the gardener I move toward him, �What has happened while I was gone?�
Vin_Da_DM: The gardener stares blankly at Luna before continuing his pointless work. A group of armored dragons dash out of the castle�s main doors as fireballs fly after them, striking several down in their tracks.
Clarice closes her eyes and pictures the night Tewyn surprised her with a carriage ride. A smile crosses her lips. �You taught me so much about trust and love,� she whispers softly.
Vin_Da_DM: �If you want to access any of them, let me know,� Alexei looks at Vincent as he grabs a bottle of vodka and a plate of food and sits at a table.
Luna_Faline drops to all fours and moves toward the dragons, �Who is in my Mistress� home?�
^Vincent^: �Okay�but what types of games are they?�
^Shinta exits his room and heads to the galley when the bickering has stopped.
Vin_Da_DM: The dragons don�t seem to notice Luna as they run past her. A large black armored figure walks out from the door and strikes the fleeing with more fireballs. Smirking he turns, black cape flowing in the biting breeze.
Luna_Faline moves quickly and silently after the man, thru the open door after him.
Vin_Da_DM: �Well...let�s see here,� Alexei pulls a data pad from his belt and looks it over. �Interactive chess, a casino simulation, ship�s systems sim, primitive sparring program and what looks like a children�s sim.�
Vin_Da_DM: The inside of Selenia�s castle is black with scorch marks and blood stains. The man in black continues into the throne room, golden doors shattered into pieces.
^Vincent^: �Right...not much of a choice but the sparring program sounds fun�How do I access it?�
Vin_Da_DM: Alexei presses a few buttons on the data pad and motions at Vincent to take it. �Take this to Cargo Bay One and enter those commands into the screen there.�
Luna_Faline follows the man to the doors of the throne room and looks inside. Afraid of what I might see, but having to look just the same.
^Shinta goes to the food processor and gets some miso soup and green tea.
^Vincent^: �Thanks, Alexei.� Heads down to Cargo Bay One.
Tabris: Standing up Tabris puts Claron�s foot down and looks at her, �What do you want to do now? Seems like we�re still not at this �Saqarra� yet.�
^Vincent^: �Yup, Cargo Bay One.� Enters, then looks at the screen, �Okay.� Starts to input the info.
Vin_Da_DM: The throne room is no better off then the rest of the castle. The man in black kneels in front of the large twisted black throne and the figure sitting on it.
Clarice curls up as she rolls over to her side trying not to think about what could happen to Tewyn. �They sure seemed awfully interested in him when they interrogated me,� mumbles.
Luna_Faline holds my breath as my eyes focus on the throne. �Who is that?� I wonder silently.
Vin_Da_DM: The holographic controls buzz with data for Vincent before the holographic projectors turn on. A large green lined grid appears on the floor, soft voice speaking, �Please specify parameters.�
^Vincent^: �Umm, say what?�
Claron chuckles as her eyes twinkle, �Spending the rest of time in bed with you would suit me just fine.�
Vin_Da_DM: The figure on the throne appears to be a flowing cloud of shadow. It lifts a dark hand and motions at the armored man, who walks to the side toward Selenia who is chained to the wall.
Tabris crawls across the bed and over Claron. Looking down at her he smiles and kisses her, �Suits me fine, too.�
^Vincent^ looks at the data pad looking for the parameters.
Vin_Da_DM: The data pad is simply a set of commands to access the program. The voice waits a moment before repeating itself, �Please specify parameters.�
Luna_Faline eyes follow the man toward Selenia. �O�Mistress,� I cry silently.
^Vincent^: �Umm, one hundred,� as he looks at the green grid.
^Vincent^: �What the hell does it want?�
Claron kisses Tabris back. �I wonder how close we are to Saqarra now?�
Vin_Da_DM: At the sound of Luna�s voice Selenia lifts her head to look at her, the armored figure glances over his shoulder as the shadow on the throne howls.
Vin_Da_DM: Finishing up his meal Alexei looks at Shinta, �We�ll be at Saqarra soon. I suggest you prepare for anything.�
^Shinta nods, �I will be ready.�
Claron reaches up and runs her fingers softly against Tabris cheek, �Once the babies return...promise me that we will always find some alone time just for us��
^Vincent^: �Okay. One hundred parameters.�
Luna_Faline steps thru the door into the throne room, I move toward Selenia. Keeping an eye on the others.
Tabris: �Of course,� Tabris gets to his side next to Claron and walks his fingers up her chest from her bellybutton.
Vin_Da_DM: The man in armor turns and intercepts Luna. Looking down at her he smirks, �The avatar. Come to die as all the other Warriors have before you?�
^Vincent^: �One on one duel, hand to hand combat.�
Luna_Faline: �I do my Mistress� will.� I hiss, extending my claws hidden inside the sleeves of my robe.
Vin_Da_DM: �One hundred, please specify unit to simulate.� The voice replies as the grid widens a bit.
Clarice drifts off to sleep dreaming of nibbling gently on Tewyn�s ears.
Vin_Da_DM: �Unknown. Please specify unit from database.� The voice replies to Vincent as a huge holographic list appears in front of him, literally thousands of entries on it.
^Vincent^ picks one at random.
Claron feels Tabris fingers walking their way up her chest, then gently tracing the heart-shaped scar...
Vin_Da_DM: The armored figure grabs Luna by the hands and lifts them up. �Your mistress is powerless before us. But don�t worry, she�ll join you in death soon enough.�
Luna_Faline sends my claws shooting into the man�s eyes. �You�ll beat us there,� as I bring my feet up and plant then on his chest pushing away from him.
Tabris: �So close to breaking your heart�� Tabris mumbles as his fingers continue up and settle on Claron�s cheek.
^Vincent^: �Open field.�
Vin_Da_DM: Luna�s attacks go straight through the man as if he were made of shadows as well. He grins and tightens his grip on her hands. A burning pain shoots down her body into her heart, which causes Luna to *snap* wide awake from her dream.
Vin_Da_DM: �Unit selected, field type selected. Initiate simulation?� The voice says then waits patiently.
Claron gazes in Tabris� eyes, nuzzles his hand with her head.
^Lilly^: After watching him walk away she sighed and headed to her room. Now in her room she looks at the clock. �Damn, I�ve been in here for two hours.� Stretches and yawns closing her notebook which she had been writing in for the past two hours. �Wonder what everyone else is doing?��
Luna_Faline sits up on my bed, eyes darting around, ears twitching. I look at my paws, as I move to sit on the side of the bed.
Vin_Da_DM: Luna finds her paws to have lightly singed fur but appear to be fine overall.
Vin_Da_DM: Alexei�s voice pipes over the coms as the ship decelerates and hyperspace fades away. �Entering normal space. Saqarra directly ahe...what the hell?�
^Vincent^: �Well, this sucks monkey balls.� Turns off the game and heads out of the door.
Luna_Faline rubs my paws together as I stand up. �I need a shower,� then hearing Alexei, �I guess not.� grabbing my boots and pulling them on quickly.
^Shinta stands, �Guess it is time.�
Tabris: Rolling onto his back and off the bed Tabris huffs, �So much for staying in bed.�
Luna_Faline looks around for my robe.
^Vincent^ makes his way past a few doors then stops at Lilly�s room, then grins and knocks.
Luna_Faline realizing it�s still in the laundry, I tuck my sai into the top of my right boot. As I leave my room I rest a paw on my amulet trying to ease my worried mind.
^Lilly^ jumps slightly as she turns to her door. �Who is it?� Her guts tell her who it is, but she wants so badly to be wrong�
Vin_Da_DM: �Somebody get up here and tell me what kind of burda govno this is!� Alexei curses over the com.
^Vincent^: �It�s housekeeping, I need your bed sheets.�
Luna_Faline enters the Bridge, �What is wrong, Alexei?�
^Lilly^: Hearing his voice she had no doubts. �What do you want, Vincent?�
^Vincent^: �Ummm, I got something for ya, open the door.�
^Lilly^ rolling her eyes she walked to the door and opened it. �What?�
Claron quickly gets up and dresses.
^Vincent^ opens the door, walks in and shuts it, stares at her and grins again.
Vin_Da_DM: Eyeing Luna Alexei points at the front of the view port. Straight ahead of the ship are two identical planets that appears to be merging together at a vortex between the two.
^Lilly^ backs up. �Stop grinning and tell me what you want.�
^Vincent^ takes a step closer reaches his hand out.
Tabris: Slipping his shirt on Tabris waddles over to the door as he puts on his pants.
Luna_Faline looks at the planets, �I have no clue, I�ve never seen that kind of thing before.�
Clarice hears the word �Saqarra� and bolts up from the bed, races out of Tewyn�s room over towards Claron and Tab�s quarters.
^Lilly^ backs further up. Hitting the edge of her bed she started breathing heavier, knowing she has no where else to go. �I mean it, tell me what you want or I�m going to kick you out!�
^Vincent^ grabs her hand, pulls her in close and stares into her eyes then kisses her deeply, pulls back and walks out the door.
Vin_Da_DM: �Well...scans show extremely high gravity. We�re already having to resist the pull. Any ideas on where exactly we�re supposed to be going?� Alexei speaks as a holographic screen shows a gravity chart with a large red dot between the two planets.
Claron follows Tab over to the door and waits for him to finish pulling his pants up before she opens the door.
^Lilly^ blinks dumbfounded. �What the hell!?!� Glaring she chases after him. When she reaches him, she grabs his arm turning him around and pulls her hand back and then smacks him across his face. �Don�t you ever do that again.�
Luna_Faline: �No, I don�t, but Clarice should. Tell her to come here.�
Tabris: Securing his pants he gives a nod to Claron. �Ready as I�ll ever be.�
^Vincent^ grins, laughs and grabs her butt. �You know ya liked it!� Walks off.
Vin_Da_DM: �Right�� Alexei hits the com again, �Clarice, please report to the bridge immediately.�
Clarice stands ready to knock on the door when Claron opens the door...�Oh good, you both are ready.�
^Lilly^: Her face red and hot she glares at him as he walks away and storms off to her room.
Tabris: �Bad timing as usual, but I�ve gotten used to getting ready in a hurry,� Tabris sighs and throws his arm around Claron�s waist.
Clarice looks at both Claron and Tab...�Umm, ready to show me where the bridge is?�
^Vincent^ walks to the bridge. Walks in and leans against the back wall, �So, what�s up?�
Vin_Da_DM: �Have a look, Vincent,� Alexei motions toward the two planets and vortex. Shaking his head he looks over the holo-screens, �It reads like a black hole...but it�s not.�
Luna_Faline looks over my shoulder at Vincent then points at the view port.
^Lilly^: Pacing her room she rants to herself. �I�m sorry, Ettik...I�m just�grrrrrr.�
^Vincent^: �Whoa.�
^Shinta heads to the bridge and sees the holo-screen, �Well, that is interesting.�
Claron: �Of course,� as Tab leads the way to the Bridge.
Luna_Faline sits in a chair and crosses my legs and my arms.
Tabris: Entering the Bridge Tabris pauses to look, �Umm�what the hell is going on there?�
Clarice follows along and as soon as they enter the bridge, �You requested my presence?�
Luna_Faline looks over at Clarice, �Where do we go from here?�
Vin_Da_DM: �We�re at the coordinates of Saqarra on the galactic map. Care to explain what we�re doing from here?� Alexei turns to look at Clarice.
Clarice looks over at Luna_Faline and smiles, then turns to Alexei...�Straight down the middle...of course...into the vortex.�
^Vincent^ takes a seat at the back.
Vin_Da_DM: �Ne ssi v kompot, tam povor nogi moet...you better be right about this.� Alexei shakes his head as the ship begins to head for the vortex.
Clarice : �Hmmph, I do believe he just cussed me out��
^Lilly^: Taking a few deep breaths she decides to go to the bridge. Walking in she looks around. �What�s going on? Is something wrong?� Seeing Vincent she ignores him but leans against the wall adjacent wall.
^Vincent^ looks at Lilly then smiles, �Why don�t ya come have a seat?�
Vin_Da_DM: As Ettik approaches the vortex the ship begins to shutter. Everything seems like it�s going to break apart but suddenly the ship loses all gravity.
^Lilly^ glares. �You make one more move and I�ll hurt you so bad your ancestors will feel it.�
Luna_Faline tail twitching, I reach up and take off my amulet. I hold it in my paws looking at it, rubbing it, turning it over worriedly.
Vin_Da_DM: Floating in front of the controls Alexei curses to himself.
Clarice: �Don�t deviate to the right or left at all...If you don�t guide this ship straight down the middle...Well, lets just say they will be picking up fragments of us.�
^Shinta catches himself on the ceiling, �Well, what now?�
^Vincent^ floats up a bit then glides over to the wall.
Vin_Da_DM: �Here goes nothing�� Alexei cringes as the ship enters the center of the vortex.
^Vincent^: �This is cool.�
Luna_Faline using my tail for balance, I simply hover over my chair.
Vin_Da_DM: Ettik floods with a complete darkness as everyone feels an odd feeling ripple over them.
Claron concentrates and manipulates the gravity inside of the ship so that Shinta returns back to the floor and the others don�t get stuck up there, too.
Vin_Da_DM: Claron�s power manages to keep everyone hovering just off the floor.
Vin_Da_DM: The black continues for what seems like ages before Ettik�s view screen begins to show stars.
^Shinta: �Now I know how the spirits feel.�
^Vincent^ shakes his head, �I�m not liking this.�
Luna_Faline glances over at Shinta thinking �my spirit�s feeling rather empty at the moment� but saying nothing out loud.
Clarice: �Easy does it, that�s it,� as the stars begin to appear.
Vin_Da_DM: As lights return to the ship Ettik glides into a large pale-green nebula. As the ship passes through the fog of the nebula the ships alarm begins to sound.
^Vincent^ looks at Lilly, grins and places an arm around her, �My, who will feel what?�
^Lilly^ pushes his arm away and glares. �What did I tell you? KEEP AWAY!!!�
Vin_Da_DM: Alexei watches his holographic screen as the scanners begin to blink with numerous additional signals, �Yebani! This is not good��
Luna_Faline: �What is it, what�s wrong?�
Claron turns to look at Clarice, �Is this normal?�
Vin_Da_DM: As Ettik clears the edge of the nebula you notice a half-circle of about fifty white ships in front of you on the view screen.
Tabris: �Holy shit...that�s a lot of ships, �Tabris comments as he looks at the screen.
Luna_Faline sees the ships, �Looks like they were expecting us,� I purr sigh.
^Vincent^ looks at the ships, then at the new girl.
^Shinta: �Don�t think they are here to welcome us.�
Vin_Da_DM: The center of Ettik�s view screen ripples and is replaced by the head and shoulders of a robed figure. A set of red eyes peer from the dark of the hood. �Surrender your vessel or be destroyed.�
Clarice looks back at Vincent and smiles as she concentrates on Vincent�s balls beginning to chill.
^Vincent^ looks at her and nods, �Thanks, my balls where a lil sweaty.�
Vin_Da_DM: Alexei looks at the group, �We�re severely out gunned. What should I tell them?�
Clarice: �Damnation...I ain�t ready to kiss my ass goodbye.�
^Shinta: �Well, we didn�t all come here to die.�
Luna_Faline: �If we surrender now, we�ll have to fight our way out.�
^Vincent^: �Hmm, have someone hide on the ship while they take some of us in, then they can bust us out?�
Tabris: �If we don�t surrender, there won�t be much left of us,� Tabris adds and looks at Claron, �Tell them we give up.�
^Shinta: �And if we do not...we all die in a matter of moments.�
Clarice: �I suggest you surrender the ship if you want to even get close to getting the children back.�
Luna_Faline stands and walks out of the bridge with a growl.
Vin_Da_DM: Alexei sighs heavily and nods. Turning to the screen he hits a command, �We�ll surrender.�
^Vincent^ looks at Lilly, runs a hand across her face and down her shoulder then steps out.
Luna_Faline enters the med bay and moves to the bio gel tank where Eclipse is soaking. I place a paw on the cool glass of the tank.
Vin_Da_DM: The hooded head nods, �Good choice. You will be taken into custody. Resistance will result in immediate execution.�
Vin_Da_DM: The screen fades back to the view of ships. Several of the white vessels approach Ettik and tractor beam the ship.
^Vincent^ steps back in, �Well, before I get my ass killed,� walks over to Lilly and kisses her.
Vin_Da_DM: Eclipse blinks out of his sleep and looks at Luna questioningly.
Luna_Faline purrs, �We have reached Saqarra, but we have met a blockade and surrendered.�
Vin_Da_DM: Eclipse nods, then his eyes open wide as he motions behind Luna.
^Lilly^ looks at Alexei worried. �Wait, we�re being imprisoned?� Interrupted by the kiss, her eyes bulge and her knee lifts up and connects to his balls. �I told you not to touch me again.�
Luna_Faline turns slowly to look over my shoulder.
^Vincent^ hunches a bit, �It�was worth it...owww.�
Vin_Da_DM: All around the Ettik troopers in heavy armor shimmer into existence. A group behind Luna point large rifles at her, �Hands where I can see them. Resist and we shoot.�
Claron stands watching as the ship surrenders, �Alexei, we will figure out how to get the ship and us out of here.�
Vin_Da_DM: Troops on the bridge point their rifles at the group. �No sudden moves.�
^Vincent^ puts his hands up, �Pardon if I don�t stand fully...just got whacked in the jewels.�
^Shinta sits slowly, �We don�t intend to.�
Luna_Faline raises my paws slowly, making sure to not show my claws at all. I look slowly back at Eclipse with a worried look.
^Lilly^ turns from Vincent as the troops point guns at each of them. She lifts her hands up and looks over the troops. �Now, what did we get ourselves into��
^Lilly^ grinning slightly at his pain, �Serves you right.�
Vin_Da_DM: Troopers from each group begin to pin red badges onto each of you. The others keep their guns on you.
Claron looks at Tabris, then slides one hand into his, turns to look at Clarice, sliding the other into hers, nodding the three of them lift their arms together up into the air.
Vin_Da_DM: In the Medical Bay the trooper pins Luna, then looks at the tanks. �Injured...they�ll stay here under guard.�
^Vincent^: �Yea, the red badge of courage.�
Luna_Faline yowls, �OWWWW,� having been pinned thru flesh.
Vin_Da_DM: As Vincent speaks he disappears in a green shimmer along with everyone else.
^Lilly^ rolls her eyes. �I don�t think that�s what its for you idiot.�
^Vincent^: �OHHHH. Cool.� Looks at the guard, �Can we ride it again?...Please?�
Vin_Da_DM: After a blurred daze and a mild headache you find yourselves in a gray prison room. Slabs on the wall extend far enough to lie down on, but the room is seamless.
Vin_Da_DM: A lone trooper walks around and removes the badges, twisting Luna�s as he pulls it out with a chuckle. �Enjoy the room.�
Claron: �My head hurts,� as she looks around the room they are in.
Luna_Faline bares my fangs at the guard hissing.
^Shinta: �Well, seems we have to sit and wait now.�
Luna_Faline rubs the spot as it heals, �Bastard!� I growl.
^Lilly^: Holding her head she sits on the floor and sighs. �Damn bastards, took my notebook.�
Vin_Da_DM: The guard brings the butt of his rifle against Luna�s side. Chuckling again he walks towards the wall and through it disappearing.
^Vincent^: �Well, I have been in plenty of these before.� Takes a seat on a slab. �Ohhh, still comfy!�
Luna_Faline holds my side with the other paw. Drawing a deep breath.
Tabris looks around the room and shakes his head, �Damn it.�
^Shinta takes a seat on a slab.
^Vincent^ looks around the cell.
Vin_Da_DM: Alexei curses again in Russian he crouches next to Lilly and pats her shoulder. �Ettik will take good care of it.�
Luna_Faline sits down on one of the slabs and checks my boot for my sai and amulet.
^Lilly^ sighs as she looks at him. �That�s not the point...there was�stuff in there.�
Vin_Da_DM: The room is a drab-gray all around and is shaped like a rectangle. All the corners curve to make the room seamless. The slab sticks out of two walls.
Vin_Da_DM: On the wall opposite the group a section of it clears into a window. Behind it you see two troopers standing guard.
Vin_Da_DM: Two of the robed figures approach and watch you. A moment later Shaiya walks up to the window, guards saluting her as she does.
Luna_Faline: �It�s all been one trap after another. Everything we�ve done has led us straight into his hands.�
^Vincent^ glares at the people in the window.
Clarice sits down on the slab and rubbing her temples with her finger tips.
Vin_Da_DM: �My, my, my. Whatever do we have here.� Shaiya watches you with interest as she speaks.
Luna_Faline stares back at Shaiya.
Vin_Da_DM: Shaiya turns and motions to something out of view, �Come here, my love. I have something you�ll just love.�
Claron turns and looks at Shaiya, �What have you done with my babies!!� lunges at Shaiya.
Vin_Da_DM: Claron bounces against the wall as Shaiya laughs lightly at her.
Luna_Faline looks over at Clarice waiting to see her reaction to seeing Tewyn with Shaiya.
^Lilly^ runs to Claron�s side and helps her up glaring at Shaiya.
Tabris: �You rotten bitch!� Tabris growls at Shaiya.
Tewyn walks over and puts his arm around Shaiya kissing her cheek. �Stupid Warriors�So, so, easily fooled.�
Claron: �Thanks...I�m going to kill that bitch!�
^Lilly^ stands up and glares at Tewyn. �HOW COULD YOU!!!!!�
^Vincent^ looks at Tewyn, �Should of killed you when I had my hand in your gut.�
Vin_Da_DM: �Just a few slips of information and they come falling into our laps like good little peons,� Shaiya caresses Tewyn.
Clarice gasps, then mutters Tewyn�s name, walks over to the window placing her hand up against the glass.
Tewyn looks at ^Lilly^ and ^Vincent^. �How could I? Ohhhh, I don�t know, seemed to feel soooo good. And demon boy, you didn�t do anything WE didn�t want you to do.�
Clarice screams, �NOOOOOOOOOO! Resist her, Tewyn...I know you can��
^Lilly^ glares, tears starting to fall from her eyes as she looks at Tewyn.
^Vincent^ shakes his head then stabs the slab.
Vin_Da_DM: Shaiya looks at Clarice with a grin, �Oh, there�s nothing to resist when he was so willing,� Shaiya shifts her gaze to Tewyn, �Shall I have her moved to a private cell so you can �play� with her?�
Tewyn laughs heartily, �Resist her...I love her deeply, so shut your hole, you lil whore.�
^Shinta sits quietly listening to everything.
Vin_Da_DM: Alexei sighs again, then sits down against the floor.
Tewyn looks at Shaiya, �Oh yes, please dear...I have soooo missed playing with her.�
Luna_Faline closes my eyes thinking about all the battles we have been thru since leaving the Temple. It was all a game and Mistress was losing badly.
^Lilly^ turns away facing the wall her tears now streaming down her eyes.
Vin_Da_DM: Shaiya raises a hand and Clarice disappears in a green shimmer from the room, appearing in a smaller cell by herself.
^Vincent^ stands and looks at the group.
Clarice stands stunned and for one of the first times in her life she begins to cry staring back at Tewyn.
Tewyn: �Now, now, halfling...you will never get that demon to love you crying that way and being so useless and weak.�
Clarice watches Tewyn�s face fade and realizes she is alone in a cell now.
Vin_Da_DM: Shaiya kisses Tewyn on the cheek and then moves away from the window. �Have fun with her, my love. And don�t worry about killing her if you want.�
^Lilly^ turns to him. �SHUT UP!�
Tewyn glares at Claron, �So did you even try to talk to that sister of yours?...Oh, I bet not...bet you went and fucked that kid of your�s over there�You didn�t keep your word...tsk, tsk�that�s twice now.�
Tabris: �You backstabbing bastard�� Tabris moves over to Claron and glares at Tewyn with the look of death, �Get the fuck out of here.�
Tewyn turns away, �Well, excuse me...I have a play date to attend. Do stay safe.� Turning and walking away.
Claron tightens her grip on Tabris� hand as Tewyn�s words slice to the very core of her being�
Vin_Da_DM: As Tewyn walks off the two robed figures watch him, then turn to each other.
^Vincent^ stands next to Lilly. Places a hand on her shoulder, �It�s alright.� Stares at Tewyn, �Just like those coward angels from my home world�things get rough you jump sides!�
Tewyn looks back, �If they get silent or move strangely, kill them!�
Vin_Da_DM: They motion as if talking, pausing to nod to Tewyn. The second one walks off as the first turns and continues to watch.
^Lilly^ looks at his hand, tears still falling down her cheeks. She doesn�t move away just stands there in complete shock.
Claron watches the two robed figures and notices the one walking off.
Vin_Da_DM: The remaining figure looks at Claron and gives her a familiar looking polite nod.
^Vincent^ looks at Lilly then brings her to the slab and sits her down.
^Shinta looks up, �Things are not as they seem...Do not doubt him so quickly yet.�
Claron looks closely at the robed figure that is left. �There is something oddly familiar about that robed figure.�
^Lilly^ allows herself to be guided and sits on the slab. �Thanks, but its not really what I want right now.� She looks up at him and sighs.
Luna_Faline: �I hope you are right, Shinta. But I fear there is more to it than we know.� Remembering the dream. I begin to rub the amulet again.
Claron approaches the window slowly.
Vin_Da_DM: The figure turns and motions to the guards, �Leave us�� As the guards walk off the figure turns back to face Claron, �Beginning to figure it out are we?�
^Shinta: �He did what he must do, but at the same time is torn...There is something inside keeping him close to our side.�
^Vincent^ pulls out a cloth from the inside of his jacket gives it to Lilly then sits staring at the window.
Claron: �Tab...I feel a connection somehow with this robed person��
^Lilly^ accepts it and hiccups as she wipes her face. Surveying the group she closes her eyes wishing they had never come here.
Tabris: �Oh really?� Tabris walks over next to Claron and looks at the figure.
Claron looks closer trying to make out anything she can on this robed figure.
Vin_Da_DM: �Quite a mess you�ve gotten yourself into...Mother,� The figure lifts his hands and pulls back his hood to reveal a young man who�s hair and eyes look identical to Claron�s.
Claron: �Oh, my god�� as she slumps up against Tabris. �Stryder?� The room begins to spin�
Tabris: �Wait a minute�� Tabris takes a step back looking at the man.
Vin_Da_DM: Alexei looks up at the window listening.
^Vincent^ looks at the guy, �Yer the guy from the fight earlier!!?�
^Lilly^ looks at the window and drops the cloth she was holding in her hands. �Stryder?�
Clarice paces back and forth in her cell, �I fucking knew there was a reason they seemed so interested in my elf!!! How could he!!!!!�
Vin_Da_DM: �In the flesh...and not exactly Vincent,� Stryder nods to Claron. �I�m afraid my sister isn�t exactly feeling friendly at the moment.�
Claron tries to steady herself by placing her hands on the window, �The other one, that was Clarissa?�
Tewyn stands in front of the cell quietly. �Your elf? My dear, your facts are so twisted.�
Clarice: �It is you that have the twisted facts, Tewyn! Can�t you see the power and influence she has over you?�
Vin_Da_DM: Stryder nods again, �If you all wish to leave here with your lives, we have much to do.� Turning to the side he places his hand against the window. �Please, do not try to escape...that will make keeping you alive difficult for me.�
Tewyn smiles, �Power over me? She has given me the power I have been holding back for so long...dealing with you...humans�Why would I trade my life for yours? We simply gave you back and got all of you in return.�
Claron: �But how can you be Stryder?...You both were just babies.��
Tewyn: �Always so predictable, you pathetic species, that you are.�
^Vincent^ picks up the cloth, sits back down and hands it back to Lilly.
^Lilly^ shakes her head she stands up and paces the room.
Clarice: �And for what purpose would she want you? You are a mere toy to her like everything and everyone else!�
Vin_Da_DM: Eyeing Claron, Stryder shakes his head, �Evil can do a great many things, Mother.� Stryder turns to the guards, �Get them some food. I will return later to begin the interrogation.�
Tabris: �He�s not our little baby anymore, Claron...Tabris sighs and watches Stryder, �He�s someone else��
Tewyn: �Are you that naive? I was able to deliver all of you...and the information I have on how to render each of you useless and negate all your powers. Why? Well, seems she saw me for what I was, unlike all of you.�
Claron turns to Tabris... �Oh, my god, that bitch has done more than just age our children.�
^Lilly^ sighs as she looks over everyone.
Clarice glares at Tewyn...�She saw you as the easiest one to corrupt!�
^Shinta just sits on the slab lost in thought.
Vin_Da_DM: �Enjoy the meal�Mother, Father,� Stryder nods to both his parents, �Don�t worry about Clarice. I will make sure she is not harmed severely.� Pulling his hood back over his head he walks off.
Luna_Faline stares at the alexandrite amulet as it changes colors in the light it reflects from different angles.
Tewyn enters the cell and locks it back behind him. �Corrupt me, my dear? I gave you all up willingly�long, long ago... Being with you is what corrupted me.�
Vin_Da_DM: One of the guards disappears for a moment, then returns. Walking through the wall he leaves three bowls of water, meat-filled sludge, and bread.
^Vincent^ looks at the food, shakes his head then lays back on the slab.
Tewyn traces his nail down Clarice�s face causing her to bleed and licks it off. �But you always did taste good,� pinning her hard to the wall.
Vin_Da_DM: �Don�t eat too much. Wouldn�t want you to lose it during the questioning.� The guard snickers as he takes his place in the hallway and the window fades back into solid wall.
^Lilly^ eyes the food mid pace and sighs.
^Vincent^: �Might as well rest up for the interrogation�Something tells me it�s gonna hurt bad!�
^Vincent^ closes his eyes.
Vin_Da_DM: Alexei sighs, buries his head in his arms crossed over his knees.
^Vincent^ sighs, �Yay, torture,� arms behind his head.
Vin_Da_DM: As the seconds pass by like hours you wonder what is in store for you in this prison.
Vin_Da_DM: $ End
