The Legend of Dragoon: Fate of the World

Veragwen frowned, and motioned for Jerus to get moving, "Come along, then, if you want. The scorpion let out this black mist. Anyone who breathed it at all turned to ash, which happened to be the entire town, sadly. Except for us. We held our breath till our faces were blue. If Mara hadn't defeated it when she did I think we'd all be dust too. The real threat though was a man in a hooded robe....he brought it back to life and made it far more dangerous with magic." she rose an eyebrow at him, "How did you manage to miss that the whole place is a mess and there's no people? I mean I can understand missing a few things, but it's pretty dangerous to be that unaware of your surroundings. You could've walked off a cliff or something!"

She looked at Nayash, "You can try if you like. I'll still keep close though to catch you, though, just in case. Fair enough?" she smiled at her.

Veragwen nodded and smiled a little, "You're about a day late, Jerus....We- well, Mara here technically- defeated the scorpion. The beast took the town with it however....we are all that remain in Seles....and we're on our way out. You're welcome to join us to Bale if you like. Safety in numbers, right? That is, if that's ok with you, of course, Mara...." she said, looking at the woman, who was still in laughing, out of her peripherals.

Yes they are.

Not sure if you were waiting on me or not, but I went ahead and posted. :P

Veragwen smiled at Caelyn and shook her head, "I think you underestimate yourself, Caelyn. It's better than anything I could do. They were all good people and I do want them to rest peacefully. It's just....what do you say to the dead? How do you know they can even hear you? Wouldn't you feel silly knowing that your words were falling on deaf ears? Perhaps that is why it is good that we really don't know what happens in death. Or perhaps we say these words simply to help us move on...It gets you thinking, doesn't it?" she blushed, "Sorry, I'm ranting out loud again. Thank you for your kind words, Caelyn." she smiled at her again.

She and Nayash were right in front of the door when they heard a knock on it. Vera blinked in surprise and gave Mara a quizzical look before opening it, "Um, hello," she said, adjusting Nayash's arm so they were both more comfortable, "My name is Veragwen. Can I help you, sir?"

Veragwen nodded, "Yeah, that hammer Raena has is yours. I wonder if you'll be able to fight with it though....that's a pretty complicated weapon to use and you're wounded. I'm sure there's a sword in what Mara and I salvaged before we got here. That's probably a safer weapon to use if you're intent on fighting. I think you left your pack at my place. It's right next to here, so we can pick it up as we go."

She looked at everyone in turn, "Shall we get moving?"

Veragwen giggled, "Dragoon, Raena, not balloon." she turned to Nayash, and also prevented Raena from poking the poor girl, "You and he apparently have a past and you chased after him as we fought the scorpion, you fought and he turned into a Dragoon, a dragon knight, one who can rule a dragon, and he worked you over pretty good. Most of your wounds have been treated, but the major ones still need time to heal so take it easy."

She helped Nayash up out of her bed and put the woman's arm around her shoulder, making sure to use the uninjured side, "I'll help you, put as much weight on me as you need. Anyway, we're going to Bale. It's the closest town to Seles, and the King needs to know what happened here."

Veragwen smiled a little, "Oh, I was only half serious. I know it's really not my fault and there wasn't anything I could do to stop it....I still feel responsible, though... Protecting Seles and my loved ones was my life's goal. And now look at it. Reduced to rubble and dust. I suppose it's more the lack of a goal that's well....dispiriting me, I suppose."

She shrugged, "However, I'm afraid I don't know much about guiding souls....my profession was more....physical." she rose an eyebrow at Caelyn, "And how exactly would I do that? Even if I were to go after that man that controlled the scorpion, he is a Dragoon and beyond my ken to fight. The only thing I could do is follow in his wake and treat the injured he leaves behind....or die trying to stop him." she shook her head, "I would gladly give my life to protect an innocent, but only if I had even a very small chance of stopping the threat...." she rubbed her chin and thought a moment as she got out of bed. She nodded, the familiar look of determination returning to her features, "The only one who has a chance right now is Mara and she has my full support. I owe her for saving my life and what does remain does Seles."

Yeah, I remember you saying you got sick easy. And that's fine if you're THAT sick. If that happens again though, do try to let as know as soon as possible instead of making us wait okay? That way Kurohasu or Shurikai can play your character temporarily to keep things moving. I'd really like to get this really up and running. Deal?

I apologize if I seem hard on you, that's not really my intention, it's just that I've been in so many RP's that get started for like a week and then drop because of one or two people...it's a big letdown and I have high hopes for this one.

The Legend of Dragoon: Fate of the World

How sick were you? I mean, unless you have to go somewhere to post, when you're sick you have tons of time at home with nothing to do. Sounds like the perfect time to post. lol Unless it's like really bad and stuff I don't think being sick is really a good reason. But that's just me.

Also, if you'd read he previous posts you'd know everyone is pretty much awake now. Jus sayin'. :P
