[IC] Swords Beneath the Starlight

Milo, Mazelina, Barnabas, and Anyone Still Interested in Madoc



"It is well-known among Laguz. He is an important religious figure, and has been for over one-thousand years. He is a Manakete - a dragon laguz, in other words. He and his family are among the last of them. He speaks only rarely nowadays, but from what I know of my history, he was once a very important figure for both our people. Alas, the distance between us seems to have allowed him to fade into memory for you beorc. A tragedy, the history lost to memory and war."

He nods towards Barnabas. "That is my belief, and my fellow Kings hope to get you in contact with her. Her reputation will likely demand she helps you, provided you announce your plight publicly. I'd say the best one to do it would be a member of the cloth, or perhaps someone who saw the violence directly - though I imagine that's quite a lot of you. My condolences. If you end up have a meeting with the Lion King, mayhaps she will see fit to show you to the Prophet's tower. It is a great honor to be even that close to his chambers. Whatever you do, though, be careful not to ask to meet with him. She guards him jealously, and might begin questioning your motives."

Casey

After a bit of searching, you track down Dorian.



"Hey - caught me leaving, did you? Or did you get bored of the prattling preener too?"

He smiles. "Laguz history's fine and all, but goddess does he go on."

Logan

Once you've separated from the group, be that now or some undesignated point in the future, you feel a pair of eyes on your back. When you turn to see who it is, you see the strange, ethereal fellow from earlier - Alexis, you think? They speak in a quiet, wispy voice, as expected.



"You... are a rider as well, yes? Of a creature of the sky?"

Baylee

The moment you split from the group (whenever that may be), you feel a pair of eyes fixated upon you from right in front. You feel strongly as if the lady standing across the room is staring at you - which makes some degree of sense, because it definitely looks that way too, and when you enter she approaches.



"Hey! Need to talk to you for a moment, if you've got it in you after that fight."

Sunny

Sometime before or after you talk to Casey, Roland approaches you.

"Excuse me, miss Sunny. I had some questions I've been meditating on, if you've the time to answer them."

Airitech

While you're strolling along, you hear a sharp voice calling out from behind you. You turn around to find Lucrezia the spy on your (maybe literal???) tail.


"Hey. Got a moment?"

She doesn't sound like she's actually asking.

Milo

Whenever you happen to be finished with your other obligations, you get a tap on the shoulder. Without even looking, you can tell the finger that poke belongs you is incredibly meaty, probably attached to an equally muscular body.


"Oi lad. A moment fer ol' Dermid?"

Mazelina

Once you're alone, you suddenly find you're not actually alone!

You turn around to look at who's approaching you and find Lys. She nearly jumps once your eyes land on her.


"Oh! Um-- s-sorry for um... surprising you? And being quiet. I... oh, I just... thought maybe we should talk??? Um. If that's okay."

It is important to note that she is unlikely to have actually surprised you. You could hear her feet slapping on stone from the moment she turned the corner, unless you were lost in thought.

Saya

After you hover on away from the meeting, you find your chill wing-flapping voyage interrupted by a very loud voice.



"Hail, friend, and very well met! It is I, Abner Gallante! You will remember me from the battlefield, I hope?" He grins. "Speaking of hail, it is good to be seeing you hale and hearty! I trust that last battle treated you kindly?"

Barnabas

Some time after you're done with your conversation with Airitech, you find yourself face to face with Lain.


"Excuse me, sir. Do you... mind if I speak with you? I know it's quite late already, but-- I had... concerns, I suppose."
