There Will Be An End

"We... have in common?" Runa mused "All I can think of is blood we all have blood, other then that we are all pretty different,"
 
"Maybe we can come back to it... we can think about it more." Miu said, "Maybe we'll have an adventure!"


Miuccia, Runa and Starbright pretty much talked most of that dad, slowly getting to know each other and finally promising a sisterhood. They were going to be known and the Scarlet Blades. For the next month it only got colder... but Axesort made sure they were warm, feed when they couldn't hunt and even began to teach them how to read and write common. He taught them how to speak Dragonic and how to read and write it as well. Soon he also started to move on with history.


To the end of the mouth, he told them it was time for them to learn to manage money. 1 gold could last and one a year if they budgeted it right. So, he gave them a gold coin and told them they must make it last at least to the end of winter. They could spend as much as they wanted, but he wanted some left in their possession.


Miuccia was learning pretty steadily. She wasn't bad but she didn't excel either. However she was just flat out awful at hunting. She came back as a failure more often than success. There was no way she could survive off the land alone.. she was a better thief then huntress.


Another thing Axesort did that mouth, was to have a Keep built about a mile outside of town at the beginning of the geyser field. Needless to say he easily afforded it, however he was highly questioned why it would be near such a dangerous place.

Starbright was the most exited when Axesort gave her chalenges or taskes. It was hard for her to lear to write and read though she caught on to language quickly. Her handwriting was absolutly terrible but her tongue fluid and smooth.Her hunting skills were good though she only went for small game as for the gold she decided to only use it if she absolutly needed it. She had hunt food and her clothing was good so she needed not spend on either of that.


Runa was fair at her learning she was more interested in the draconic then the other two where. She was also the worst with management of money. Runa would get frustrated easily and often lost patience she was much more dragon then elf in her actions Axesort would find her little cubby hole nest she made for herself to keep her things almost like a little horde of her own she was fast and strong as well.

It was going to take months for Axesort's keep to be finished. He would most likely make the journey over to Terrin before it was even finished. In fact he bet it wouldn't finish till the summer. The Keeps took so long to build, specially the size one he asked for. He also asked for a smaller, but still large building off to the side behind the Keep, close to the fields. He knew that one would take no time at all to build. He planned to dig a tunnel down to the tunnels so that Star, Runa and Miuccia didn't have to cross.


Often he would visit Mousey, bringing him food. A couple of times he even brought him dried and damaged dragon scales that fell off him. Though after another mouth passed and spring around the corner, Axesort finally came to ask Mousey an important question, "Mousey. How would you like to come work at the keep as my stewerest?" The would mean Mousey would be in charge of his entire household. His wealth, people he hired, anything that needed tending.


He already had people in town offering him themselves for such positions, so far hes declined. Everyone knew about him by now, they knew his wealth... none knew his power. He had no power in the town at the moment. Just wealth.
 
The girls would often play or train while the poeple worked they were growing and developing as sisters.


Mousey enjoyed Axesorts vivsits the elf was odd at all times though even when you got to know him he;d still do some off the wall odd thing to throw you off guard. When Axesort vivsited the elf was laying on his desk reading. when he was proposed the job the elfs jaw dropped and he stared at Axesort "Really? Stewart to the keep?"
 
"Yes." Axesort said a bit bluntly, "The keep won't be done for months to come." Mousey's shock brought satisfaction to the dragon in glamor.
 
The elf looked at him "You ... are either crazy or I'm more so then I thought," he sat up and rubbed his head. "If you don't think someone else could do the job better... I'd be honored as well as terrified to take the possition,"
 
"I want you Mousey. I want you more then just a stewerest." Axesort told him. "I realize now what you said was correct. I must finish what I started. If the remaining of the dragon race is to have any chance.. then I need to take over Gorath... and purge the corruption from the roots." He told Mousey. "You said you seen it yourself... then?" He Mousey was not to be trusted, he would have already ran off to tell someone instead of encouraging him.
 
"I saw it, along with other such conquests," Mousey told Axesort with a nod. "It was the future that blazed the strongest... are you really going to revive... the pool of black?" Mousey didn't know what it was called just knew it existed. The elf looked to him and stood up hopping from the desk to walk to the dragon.
 
"Yes." Axesort told Mousey. "It is the only way to obtain any army strong enough to overrun the capital. The pool creatures the Dusk... creature made from magic that was lost magic in my time... now bound to no longer exist now.... but I remember." He knew what he needed to make the pool It will take him time to gather, but he will gather it.
 
"Well... I'll help out any way I can, if being this steward person helps then I'll do it but don't try to overpay me," the elf said he smiled "Make you feel better to know most of my visions see you succeeding?"
 
"No. A future can always be changed by a single choice. I would prefer if you keep my future from my ears... as knowing could cause my pride to overwhelm my wisdom. A dragon is susceptible to most sins sometimes more so than humanoids at times." Axesort told Mousey. "I must remain careful... Think about it then Mousey, you still have several mouths." He would hope if the first sign of failure, if Mousey would ditch.


He liked the elf, but he didn't know his loyalty. A bag of meat and a few hot meals did not bring loyalty. Loyalty through money was a fickle thing.
 
"Yeah, might need the time to figure it out, you know putting a streetrat in a big house with power.. could go to my head," he admitted to Axesort and he didn't want that, to become a big headed bag. "I got to figure out if I am right for this but I will most likely agree."
 
"My cause... if you don't believe in it like I... then you may not be as suited for the job as I need." Axesort told Mousey flat out. "I'm not looking for a stewrdest... I'm looking for something more more than that. My offer was much deeper than you think."
 
"And that will take more thought, You know... I actually think what you are doing is right but... I'm not sure if my role needs to be so large," Mousey said
 
"Take your time. I won't take backing out kindly. However you will have a place among my Keep when it is finished." Axesort told Mousey.
 
the elf nodded and looked a Axesort "You know you command alot of respect, you should have a dinner with the nobles when your keeps done... even if I'm not your stewart I would love to rummage through their heads for you," he offered.
 
Axesrot raised his brow. "I didn't think there were very many nobles here in this town. It is fairly small."
 
"No but there is in the capital," Mousey chuckled "To take over will take time, might as well weasle your way in while you wait, get a foothold,"
 
Axesort nodded, "I will think about this indeed. It is possible I can just start by taking over this town." He told Mousey. But that would also take time. Maybe a year if he were to do it right. He would need to start by making an income to the town. It was possible Mousey could sink his chances, but he was not willing to give up this... friendship. He admitted, Axesort felt a friendship with the elf. He quite enjoyed the spunky conversations.
 
The elf smiled and it was clear the elf knew Axesort could do it he was just hinting at the ideas to make the dragon think about them. "Want to chat a while? you don't have the girls tagging on your heels this time," the elf thought some light converstion might brighten the mood he was not into all this serious stuff.
 
"Yes. Runa, Star and Miu are very much close. They spend a lot of time out in the woods. I recently gotten the three of them weapons of their choice..." Miu ended up picking bow and arrow, since she had always been so bad at hunting up close. She was hoping from afar would improve her chances of getting a meal. "I enjoy the bundles of energy.."
