Drakians (Telios & DawnAntalios)

Vane caught the gem and paused washing the dishes. He looked at it for a while, inspecting it. "Maybe this is a Memo Gem?" He spoke up suddenly, looking at Zoe over the gem.
 
Looking at him she asked.


" What is that? " she asked curiously " Some kind of device which stores dreams and such? "


She was very intrigued now that Vane revealed his knowledge about this particular crystal. Maybe he would be able to identify it.
 
"Memo Gems are gems which store memories and knowledge, at least that's what I have known so far." Vane set the gem down back onto the table and returned to washing the dishes. "So yes, it can store dreams. Although I'm not sure what else it can do."
 
Zoe looked at the strange gem as she listened to Vane's explanation. She was unsure whose memories can these be but she trusted her husband's counsel.


" I need to examine it further I think. " she said as she stood up and headed upstairs " If you want you may join me later. "
 
Vane nodded and continued to wash the plates. Once he was done, he walked upstairs and found out that zoe was in his office, reading some scrolls and books for research. "How are things going?"
 
She looked up, tossing some books away.


" It will not open up just to anyone it seems. " she said " I tried to pry information out of it but it rejects my call. It is protected by a powerful defensive spell I can not penetrate. "


She leaned back, folding her arms together.


" I am not sure who could access the memories... "
 
"Let me try unlocking it." Vane grabbed the gem and muttered a spell, focusing on a spell to break the lock. It shone brightly as it was unlocked. Vane placed the gem back onto the table and panted lightly. "There..."
 
Zoe's eyes widened after Vane so easily unlocked the Memo Gem - after all he was one of the most powerful Drakians in the world, it made her proud to see him deal with such a complex spell with such ease. Looking at the gemstone she found an intricate pattern of ancient magics on its surface, now clearly showing a message.


" To dusk we ride with pride and hope and from dawn we emerge with despair and doubt. " - that is what the inscription read. Puzzled at this riddle she scratched her head. " The one who crafted this particular gem was very cautious it seems. " she looked at her beloved " Do you have any clue what does this mean? "
 
"I don't think I do, my love." Vane sat down and looked at the riddle. "From dusk we ride with pride and hope... And from dawn we emerge with despair and doubt. Maybe this is about people who can only 'appear' at night time? Again, I'm clueless about what this mea-- Ughrk..." He held his head in sudden pain.
 
Zoe quickly grabbed him, holding him close.


" What's wrong my dear? " she asked with a worried expression. " Come, let me help you. "


Trying to ease his pain she put her hands on his head, in an attempt to soothe him and make the affliction that hurt him go away.
 
Vane flinched as he felt something spreading over his skin. Scales...? But I'm not... He lowered a hand down to look at it. "T-Talons...?" They were completely black, looking as if they were shadows shaped like talons.
 
Zoe looked at the transformation and doubled her efforts to make this sudden magic disappear, but it seemed that her efforts were futile. As much as she struggled it seemed to overpower her - although she did slow the spread of the spell. With a desperate look in her eyes she looked at Vane, hoping that he knew what was going on - and that he could stop it as well.
 
"Let it progress. I'll be fine, I promise." Vane put his currently-normal hand on her cheek, smiling at her comfortingly. The 'shadow scales', as Vane called them, continued to spread over him slowly but surely.
 
Zoe stopped trying to interfere with the creeping shadow but she nodded and stepped back. She watched as the seemingly dark magic enveloped her beloved and she was now as anxious as excited. She has never seen such spell before and was now really curious about its purpose - and effects.
 
Vane felt wings and a tail sprouting out behind him as the shadow spread over his back and down his legs. his torso and lower body were completely covered in it. The only thing left was his head.
