Drakians (Telios & DawnAntalios)

[DawnAntalios]

She was trying to think clearly as she ate her breakfast away.


" Well we didn't contact her after Punos was free. " she said while chewing on a bacon " I am not even sure what she even... "


There was a flash of light and a knock on the door. It happened so fast that Zoe could barely note what happened. She stood up to open the door but there was nobody there... only a note.

 

[Telios]

"Who was that?" Vane swallowed the food and got up, walking over to her. "A note?" He looked over her shoulder, and grabbed the piece of paper.

 

[DawnAntalios]

" Nobody was there but the note states that the person wants to meet you in the city today. " Zoe said a bit suspiciously. She grabbed the hands of her husband " Do you think it is a trap? The person requested you to go alone. "

 

[Telios]

"I can defend myself. You shouldn't worry." Vane reassured her, thinking that it was Usher. "I think it's Usher is who calling me to talk with her in the city." He kissed on her forehead to calm her.

 

[DawnAntalios]

" I... " she started but she knew he was right. So she nodded " I am sure you can handle this, dear. " she said and a bit sad she sat back to the table to finish her meal. She knew he had to go but it was still a bit frightening.

 

[Telios]

"I'll be right back as soon as I can, alright?" He grabbed his pack and went out of the front door. Sighing, he walked to the town square and looked around, searching for the one that wanted to meet him.

 

[DawnAntalios]

A young girl walked up to him. She was in her early teen age, she had long, red hair and her head was covered in a dark-grey cloak.

(yes, I love pictures, sorry)


" Excuse me sir. " she said as she walked up to Vane. " Could you help me out? I am in dire need of help. "

 

[Telios]

(It's fine. :3)


"Help? What help?" Vane questioned her, a bit curious about her situation. "And who are you? Why asked me out here so sudden?" He was suspicious, sure, but this girl didn't really look like a threat.

 

[DawnAntalios]

" You seem to be a strong warrior and mage. " she said " And a Drakian as well. Please, it will not take long I just need somebody trustworthy like you. " she pleaded, felling to her knees, begging him.

 

[Telios]

Vane sighed and helped her up onto her feet. "I was just asking. You didn't need to beg me like that. But anyways, how am I going to help you?" He asked, crossing his arms over his chest and looked around.

 

[DawnAntalios]

She started to head towards a house and she motioned him to follow. She did not say anything, they just walked silently and she ushered him in the house, closing the door behind them. Then when she made sure no one was looking she pointed him to sit on a char next to a table with her.

 

[Telios]

Vane followed her quietly and went into the house. "Why are you so worried?" He asked more as he sat down. He was confused more than suspicious now, feeling a bit bad for the girl.

 

[DawnAntalios]

She waited for him to take a sea then with a serious expression she looked at him.


" I have to apologize for the secrecy. " she said " But evil has its ears everywhere. I can not risk anyone to know about this discussion. "


She pointed around the house and it hummed with a soft energy.


" The house is safe. No one will bother us here. "

 

[Telios]

"Evil... What kind are you talking about?" Vane leaned back into the seat and propped up his chin with a hand. "I'll need to hear from you first before I can do anything."

 

[DawnAntalios]

She smiled.


" The darkness rises on the horizon. I have been contacted by one of my friend and he told me that the dark ritual is almost complete. The forces of shadow are on the move. You are the only one who can stem the tide of death since your wife... "


She paused for a moment.


" Let's just say that your wife will be unavailable for a while. "

 

[Telios]

"My wife will be unavailable? Huh." Vane didn't look that all surprised. "That'd help me a bit with protecting her from the battles... But I think she'll not agree." He chuckled in amusement. "And is this friend of yours called Punos?"

 

[DawnAntalios]

A blue tear appeared in the room and the aforementioned elder mage stepped through it, nodding.


" It has been a while, Master Vane. " he said " The young lady is correct. Lady Zoe can not fight in her... special condition. I am afraid this burden falls on your shoulder. "

 

[Telios]

"Alright, Punos. So are there anything important I need to learn about my next opponent?" Vane asked Punos, gesturing him to have a seat near them. He was starting to get curious, but not worried about the upcoming circumstances.

 

[DawnAntalios]

The girl was the one to answer his question.


" The corrupted templars are attempting to summon something menacing on their master's name. " she said as she put a map on the table. It had several "X" on it to mark the important places " We figured out what they are up to: they are placing the summoning portals on the ley lines and only one is left: the one you saw the vision at with Zoe. "


She looked at him.


" We are certain that whoever the leader of the dark cult is will be there. One of us will be coming with you, up to you which one of us since the other will try to aid you from behind the curtains. We need to stop them at all cost, but with your sword and skills we might just prevail. "

 

[Telios]

Vane looked at the map and thought about the situation. He'd rather have Punos help him on the battlefield than the girl. ".....Punos. How about we go together..."He looked at Punos and then at the girl "...and you stay behind?"

 

[DawnAntalios]

Punos nodded.


" I also offered Lady Io to stay behind so I could aid you but she insisted it would be your decision not hers. "


The girl looked at the elder mage, yelling at him.


" Punos! " she raged at him but it was too late. Well, the charade had to end sooner or later anyway.

 

[Telios]

"So you are the one supposed to be my and Zoe's 'daughter'?" Vane looked over at her and raised an eyebrow. "Nice job in helping us." He said with gracefulness. "We might have not made it without you and your illusions."

 

[DawnAntalios]

Io looked at Vane in confusion.


" What are you talking about? " she asked pure surprise on her face " All I did was that I brought the sword from the future to this time. I have been planning and observing ever since. This is the first time I contacted you personally. "


She did not understand. Who could Vane refer to?

 

[Telios]

"Hm... Now that is interesting..." Vane mumbled to himself as he thought about someone else who could have helped them. "Nevermind that then." He brushed it off for now. "Anyways, is everything done here? Zoe... might be wanting me back at our house as soon as possible."


(I sense plot twist.... :3)

 

[DawnAntalios]

( You are a clever fella, thats why I like you! :3 )


Io nodded.


" That would be all, yes. " she said as she put the map away " But please don't let mother fight. She is in a delicate period right now and I would hate to see anything happen to her. "


She then opened the door as Punos stepped back to his portal and let Vane to go on his way.


" He is ready. " she told herself " He has to be. "
