MrMurasaki: It was late into the Night, after a long exhausting day and an Evening pursuit at Darshire. After had docked and reloaded, the Fleet was ready once again. Sky Fleet would not leave the docks before all ships were ready to depart, that was their duty. The Old Druid had escorted Crystal off the Ship to the central Tree of the Sky Port that on either side in the large expansive Mountain lake had docked the two Flag Ships and in front of the Tree the Sky Wolf. The Druid glided happily over the dirt and stone path, it always put a spring in his step to be back with the Dwarves. he had his long necked pipe in his mouth puffing away as he and Crystal walked towards the Lower Part of the city, the central hub overlooking it the War Chamber. Thelgen and Allaistair finally finished with the ship as did seemingly all the Fleet, working together as One. As the followed a fair distance behind the Druid and the woman Thelgen would talk to Allaistair about a possible promotion.

CrystalOnyx: -Crystal had been silent pretty much the whole time, she couldn't believe that everyone from Darshire was died. Though Alaihandra was hopefully safe, that was the only thing keeping her going; that and the hope that Esylana would complete her quest. As they walked, her eyes wandered around taking in the place they were now. She had noticed that her smell was slowly fading now, she could barely smell the stone. She kept close to Lyrick, being he was the only one who she knew. Her bare feet patted against the stone as they walked, a nervous look on her face as she chewed on her cheek in silence.

VampyrVixen: Allistair stood, a charming sweet smirk upon his cheek. Even in the bright sun rays, he didn't seem to break a sweat. His body clad in an elvish styled armor of black, gold, and red that threaded across his form. His eyes glowed like freshly recovered emeralds against his brassy skin; both reflecting his draconic heritage. His face was gaut and feminine for his strong, masculine form. His lightly pointed ears perked up as Thelgen spoke to him. He rose a brow to the old Mardune, running a hand through his short blonde locks. He took off his large claymore off his back, leaning against the side of the skyship to which they stood. "You wished to speak to me, sir?" His smirk dropped to a blank poker face and his tone was a rumbling low.

MrMurasaki: "Aye Lad, Ye have been under my charge a long time now. Ye have been there fighting against another, a Rogue who sought the path of Love. You have commanded and laboured your way to be a real Mark in the Fleet. Yer not quite there Lad." He would take his boulder like hand and gently heave it into the back of the young Quartermaster, causing him to step forward. "Always remember what I tell ye!" he pointed his thick sausage like finger up towards his head. "Ye Think wit dat." He then pointed to his heart. "Then you let that guide yer path, naer forget that. It is what makes great Commanders. Aye?" He said his hands at his hips tying to stand tall before his Quatermaster, though standing just as solid. Pipe clenched approvingly in his teeth puffing away. "Crystal my Dear, you are among the graces of the Dwarves now." The Old Druids hand rested on her shoulder in comfort. "Fear not these people, Any supporters of the Empire reveal themselves all too quickly amongst the Smiles, the Song. Dwarves are most gracious and loving hosts, they learned a lot when their North Gate fell about being welcome... Greed pays a hefty toll... That is a tale for another time..." He would smile down to her before turning back to the slowly advancing pair. "Thelgen has seen many turmoil’s, He is the favorite of Malgus. Born of Malgus’s hands, their separation is inconceivable but alas, we have no way of knowing where the Empire in their vastness could be holding him... Song may still fill the air, child but you will hear a subtle emptiness to their harmony..." Misty eyed he shook his head causing his antlers to rattle and bells to chime.

CrystalOnyx: "Please forgive me. . I have a lot on my mind and it's quite different here." -She felt the Druid's hand on her shoulder, but it didn't make her feel much better. Though she knew she was safe she knew it might not last long. She wanted to find Esylana and help her friend in completing the quest at hand. As Lyrick glanced back at the pair of males behind them, she looked back as well. She studied over their features quietly, eyeing the elf-ish looking man more. - "Who are they? Friends of yours?"

VampyrVixen: "I suppose I have, sir." Holding his claymore handle, the tip kissing the ground promptly. His eyes would slit to appear more draconic for a moment out of annoyance, before he sighs. His body would be sent forward a step or two followed by a light growl coming from the back of his throat, but he soon composed himself. He did not turn to Thelgen as he spoke. "I may be young, but I know I'd be a well-off leader, sir. Many of your men agree, But I will listen to your orders for I am at your command." He said in a monotonous voice. His frustration was clear only for a second, before he turns into a light smile. His attention turned now to the old druid and a lovely raven-haired woman. He offered a hand to the druid in a greeting. "It is well to meet you, sir." He then would turn to the woman who stood. Allistair would kneel to her, his arm wrapped around the hilt of his blade. He brought up taking hers, laying a gentle kiss upon it. He always was a man of charm and manners with women, even with his father's temper. "It is well to meet you to, my lady." He looks up to her giving her a sweet childlike smile.

MrMurasaki: "as is you young one with ancient eyes." his smile would crease the weathered bark like skin of the Druid. He would look down to Thelgen. "If you keep the company of the one who hosts, you must be true of heart." The Druid glided over and looked deep into Allaistairs eyes. "Deep, Darkness but an honour unyielding... Now that I see you, I am honoured to meet you." He would smile looking back to Crystal. "Oh! Yes, I nearly forgotten. As Promised my Dear friend." The Druid reached in his poach of wands deep in his cloak, he pulled out a jagged looking long wand, through artistically crafted. "This here has a Core of Witch Hazel and Rosemary made of the youngest Elder Wood I could find... When they blessed Ley returns may it aid in not only protecting you from the Toxins of this word but also may it help revitalise you." In the distance a Runner could be seen approaching though still a way off. "Aye Young Druid, He has shown his colours in the face of adversary. Strong and Noble, he still has a ways te go yet but we're all gettin younger aint we?" he would let out a deep chuckle as if the Earth itself broke into laughter. The Druid would follow his more of the chatter of trees, both clenching their pipes and puffing away.

CrystalOnyx: -Crystal stood before then as she kept quiet for the moment. As the elf-ish looking man neared them she stiffened some. Though at his touch a flush of pink appeared on her face. She lifted the side of her skirt some as she bowed forward a bit. - "A please to meet you, I'm Crystal." -She returned to her standing position as Lyrick and the other named Thelgen. She was soon given a wand by her friend, accepting it with a soft yet forced smile. - "Thank you so much. ." -She held it in her hands as she admired it for a moment and soon turned her attention back to the men at hand. -

VampyrVixen: "A lovely name. One that shines quite brilliant especially when light is upon it, I hope your light does not fade any time soon, Dear Crystal." He now gently sets her hand down, standing back in place. His claymore soon makes its way back upon his back, before looking back at her gazing with his forest like eyes. "I'm Allistair Atlas, At your service, my lady. If you need anything, you need only ask, and my aid will be swift." Following up with a small bow to her, He turns his attention to the druid once more. "My eyes are my father's, but I am not like my father." That was quite a deceptive lie, but all children don't wish to be their parents. "I came to Thelgen after the fall of my kingdom, and the disappearance of my mother. I believe my place is upon his fleet in any way I am able to service. I'm glad to meet you."

MrMurasaki : The Druid would bow his head. "I meant no offense young one, for I am but a child to your Grand Admiral. Young in the World but Wise, you will be an asset to not only this Fleet but to the Land itself..." The Druids eyes would befall the near approaching runner, pipe clenched in his cracked lips. Looking down on the pale white Dwarf who rushed to Thelgens side, heaving over catching his breath trying to spurt words. "Easy there Lad, rest first then speak." after a moment of the Dwarf gathering his breath and thoughts he would speak. "Sir... I just returned from the Longboats, our scouting Patrol was upon Darshire when we witnessed there were still villagers to attend to. Also, that Draxis, The Champion of the Empire had 100 of the Legion dispatched to lock down the City... We need to send a small..." Before he could finish, removing his hand that comforted the winded Scout he raised it to his beard and rubbed puffing on the pipe clenched in his teeth. "We send the whole fleet Lad, naer you worry. ne'ting else?" The scout would nod "What's even worse... Draxis spread the Word he planned on burning the Grove." The Druids eyes would fixate as if entranced. "Raven Child..." he would say under his breath. "Then it is settled, round the Fleet we depart and by mornin' we will make Darshire. Allaister, there is something I need done." He would look up to his Quatermaster.

CrystalOnyx: -Crystal gave a smile Allistair and soon laid her eyes upon the messenger. She listened quietly as her grip on the wand tightened at hearing the words of the grove being burned. She already knew some of it had burned, but had it made it to the other parts? A look of worry crossed her face as she thought of Isha. She could only stay quiet as they continued to speak. -

VampyrVixen: Allistair's lips pursed at the words of him being admiral, and so he then bowed gracefully attempting not to show his awkward realization. "I apologize for my rudeness, sir. I will be sure to remember such a thing in the future to come." Allistair's eyes flickered to the messenger listening with a glint of intent in his eyes. Even with the situation of war always being quite a life or death, win or lose, he found this more as an opportunity to prove that even in his youth he can still be strong and command even in the most stressful of situations. "I can hel-" He attempted to cut in so that he may lend his hand, but his eyes then flickered to Thelgen. "What would you need of me, sir?"

MrMurasaki: Seeing the fire in his eyes Thelgen would smile and pat the elbow of allaister. "Lad, I need ye to do something of great Importance. Ye have been at my side all day, ye have earned yer rest. I want ye to show this Lass what the East Gate, the sky Port has te show her. Show her the Sky boards and sail through the currents with a sail as yer guild. Run the Kegs if ye will but don't get too carried away." His cheerful tone replaced by his stern Commander one, pipe clenched tightly in his teeh. "Before any festivities I need ye te prepare the War Room, take her te help ye. It has been many a year since the chambers had been opened and I expect only the best fer the Fleet." He motioned his hand upward into the sky before them, above the Dwarven fleet prepared to depart but above them and out a bit in the distance you could see the arriving fleet, the lights on their ship shining in the Dark adding to the Stary night. "We must show them the best o hospitality, there is much we all need te discuss in the Days te come. It isn't Brave and daring Adventure Lad but it is also an important part of being a Commander of the Fleet, maybe even when my Old bones get too old even Grand Admiral." He pulled from a pocket in his cloak a small dark coin made of Elementium, he flicked it up to him. "If the guards at the Chamber give ye any trouble show em this, tell em I sent ya. May want to get some cloth fer your mouths. It'll be dusty." He would bow his head to him and then to Crystal. "I will go with you Thelgen, there may be one there who was with us all the night before the escape." "Aye, let us be off then." Thelgen and the Druid would stand beside each other listening to the final parting words from them and upon the final words He and the Druid would walk to the Sky Wolf and board it, with a low bellowing Horn blow from Thelgan the fleet was off to Darshire once more.

CrystalOnyx: -Crystal could only nod to what they were saying, staying around Allistair wouldn't bother her. As the wind picked up from the landing ships, she would look up and stare at the lights. Her attention would soon turn back to them. - "It was very nice meet you." -She bowed her head once more as they walked off, she soon turned and stood next to Allistair the wand still firmly in her hands.

VampyrVixen: As much as he wouldn't mind showing a lovely lady around the play he's come to call his new home, he couldn’t help but feel a bit frustrated with the factor of not seeing the battlefield. His shot of proving himself to be this was a valuable Captain he wishes to be has not yet come. He allows a heavy sigh to be released from his gentle lips. Raising his head with assurance, he nods to Thelgen. "It will be done as you wish, and swiftly. I don't intend to waste another minute." As Thelgen and Lyrick descend, his attention is put upon the woman. His frown was more than noticeable. His eyes slitted with the fury of the brass dragon, but soon softened. It wasn't her fault, it was Thelgen's decision and he couldn't do much but to obey. He then bowed to her out of respect, leaving a hand out for her to take if she was willing. "I suppose you may need a guide in this. But just because He said I needed rest, do not mean I shall. I have far too much to do than sit around and I suppose you'll be accompanying me for most of it. Let us go then, we shouldn't waste any time."

MrMurasaki: A Flagship would find its way into dock. It was longer than the Dwarven designs but far less bulky, though it was reinforced. Elven in design with fine detail work, down to every chisel and brush stroke. the Wood of the ship was a dark black and purple blend. Elegant railings accented the boarder of the deck. It's purple velvet sails were adorned buy many Purple Silk Banners that blew in the night wind. The Captain, which was obvious gently glided off the ship. Dressed in Regal and elegant Purple Clothing, made of the best Elven Silks and Leather. His long blonde hair would cascade over his Purple Captains coat, white gloved hands clenched his scepter as he walked down the Port his Purple shoulder cloak flowing behind him in the wind. The two new acquaintances blocked his advance. The Pale Elf would look over Allaistair with his pale blue eyes, his crooked elvish nose tight in the air. "Well well, you must be..." He would point and twirl his finger before placing it to his chin. "The Pride of Thelgen, how quaint... The claymore, the Heavy Armour yes... I never understood The Dwarves and their company, so bulky... Well if anything such an attire would provide useful in keeping your ill seasoned feet on the ground. " He would smirk his voice rang with a sneer.

VampyrVixen: "Ah well you see, sir. One may not need heavy armor or a claymore to be a man... but I certainly can say that most men don't entirely twirl their frilly fingers like a woman showing her attraction to a suitor, Sorry, I don't really swing that way you see." He gives the elf a little smart ass smirk back. He stands tall in his heavy armor, two hands upon his hips so that he may look masculine even with his clear feminine elvish features. He would run a hair through his short dense platinum hair, offering a hand to Crystal so that she may step up and take it. "What can a humble and honorable half-elf like me do for you?" Clearly having sarcasm in his voice, his charisma to charm would remain in his low voice. "Come now, out with it."

CrystalOnyx: -Crystal looked over the airship that had just landed, those things were quite fast and useful; but too complicated for her crammed mind. From behind Allistair she would gaze upon the new arrival, he sure did like the color violet. Listening to the two exchanging words, she noticed Allistair's hand and soon placed her small soft hand into his. This took the movement of stepping up, a slight bounce as she balanced on her bare feet at the long stride. She put on a soft smile as she let the men talk, hiding a soft chuckle to the sarcasm she heard in Allistair's voice. -

MrMurasaki: The Elf would smirk. "I will let that slide, you clearly haven't been witht he Fleet that long, so I will excuse your ignorance. You see, I thought The Fleet was about a higher class of Commander... I knew it was a mistake Thelgen became Grand Admiral. I mean a Dark Elf, please." he would sneer in his laughter holding himself on his cane. "It takes great dedication and knowledge to ascend the ranks. They don't just give the title away." one of his crew was at his side with a bottle and a glass resting on a violet pillow. He proceeded to tip the bottle, a viscous ruby liquid filled the glass as the elf took it and shooed the deck hand. swirling it, smelling it then tasting it his eyes would flap in euphoria. "Ahh a great year." His attention would revert to Allaistair a twinkle in his eye. "Oh, shape up, if the company you have kept with that coal of a man hasn't taught you to take a jest. I am not sure what will..." He chuckled, his demeanor altering slightly as he drank. His annoyed being seemed to shift. He still kept his nose raised but spoke to them in a more tolerant tone. "And the girl? Some peasant brought in from afar?"

VampyrVixen: "Well first off, the term is a Mardune. I suppose where you come from they may not be as educated in that sort of thing.... No matter..." He turns to Crystal ushering her forward with a gentle bow in her respect. He does let his eyes dance across her lovely physique for but a moment. He was known for his charismatic ways of wooing women whether for fun of simply because it was in his nature to do so. He gave the woman a tender smile. "You may refer to me as Allistar Atlas, and this is my beautiful companion Crystal and..." His draconic eyes now shot to annoying elvish man with ferocity that would make anyone's head spin. "She will be treated no less than royalty in my presence, are we clear?" He would not growl, but he would be having a fierce glare upon his emerald twinkling eyes.

CrystalOnyx: -She bowed to both of them out of respect, though she was taken aback by the man's remark of being called a peasant. Before she could speak though Allistair had already spoken up for her. Which made her smile more as her cheeks blushed pink once again. She soon glanced up to see the other man's reaction, a smirk almost appearing on her face. Treated like royalty? At least this wasn't at the Empress' palace anymore. -

MrMurasaki: He would chuckle. "Well if we are all sharing names I will bestow you upon my appointed title... ahem" He could cough into his gloved hand that held his cane before taking another drink, his eyes would pulsate as the viscous fluid poured into his mouth. " The most Noble and well-dressed of the Sky Fleet, the truest Emperor of rambrant, well deserving. At my command my ever-loyal crew have left nothing in our path but wreckage and surrender expecting total obedience. Sky Fleet promotes Unity... "He would smirk, his sand yellow hair blowing in the wind. "They never said how one is to Unite...." At his words and the glare of his eyes he would glare back his pale blue ones meeting his. "You do not have the authority, you are barely an Officer and demand of me? The Sky Prince, the most decorated of the Fleet and most refined. How dare you, your tongue should be cut and presented before Thelgen himself! If I were to refer to her as some filthy street rat, there is nothing you could do. " he leaned over as he sneered in his words pointing the bottom of his cane to them. "I will address her as a resident of sky Port, but hardly royalty." He would scoff in his voice his nose perched high.

VampyrVixen: "A filthly street rat? Even if she was one, she's doing with more class than you. She is priceless to the fleet, a diamond. or rather a Crystal that will shine brilliantly in this wake of war." He leans over giving a small wink to her for his terrible pun. He soon composes himself as more proper and higher class. He soon grasps his chin in thought. "As a matter of fact, our little princess here was going to be training with me. A warrior princess to behold. I won't let any man tarnish her image, even you sir." He makes a shooing with his hand as a way to tell him to fuck off. "I don't give a damn who you are. No one disrespects a woman in front of me, Thelgen would agree with me either way. Might as well not even try."

CrystalOnyx: -Her smile grew as Allistair talked, her blush growing as well. No one had really talked about her that way, then again, she was never close to a man. She didn't even know her own father. - "And for someone who wears a bunch of violet, you sure can't pull it off." -She gave the elf a smirk, but soon returned to her innocent smile. Street rat huh? She may look like a maiden of the forest, but no street rat. She firmly held Allistair's hand even though she almost seemed to hide behind him. -

MrMurasaki: He would let out a cackle walking passed him chuckling waving his hand at the two. "Be sure everything is up to Par for the Council, maybe then we will consider you to join the ranks. If you wish to train her in the ways of the sword maybe you should teach her the value of silence... You would feel the lash of my cane aboard my Ship for such filthy speak." he flicked his hair and rested on his cane walking forward stopping beside them not looking at them and barely addressing them. "It is fitting the coal would take on a newt." He would smirk one last time as he walked down the Port disappearing into the stone opening of the building before him. In his march away from them he would sing in elvish the song of his crew, they would loyally have been singing it on deck as they unloaded the Ship, without their Captain.

VampyrVixen: "The woman before me may speak if she wishes to. Women are no lesser than us here and I will not allow her words to be silenced. At least I am in good company with her. I knew something smelt terribly walking over here... Didn't think it'd be your damned attitude." He glares to the man as he soon exits. Almost growling with rage. His eyes soon return to normal as he looks upon Crystal. He tries to compose himself to be a gentleman once more. "Excuse my harsh words and composure, it was not right of me to lose that in front of you, my lady." He lets out strong sigh before composing himself once more. "Well... Maybe I could actually show you a thing or two about the sword? Prove that nasty elf wrong about both of us." He chuckles. "Shall we?"

CrystalOnyx: -She didn't give a glance to the elf as he walked by. She soon looked up and met Allistair's emerald eyes with her own ice blue ones. - "No, I completely understand, please forgive me for my words. He was rude for not even knowing me." -She soon gave him a wide smile. - "Yes, I would love to learn sword play. I was actually hoping someone would teach me, I felt quite helpless when I couldn't defend myself." -She soon nodded eagerly. - "Yes, let's go do it."
