Mr Murasaki: The Fleet sailed triumphantly, the deckhands all maintaining the ships. The loud song of victory rang from their bellowing voices, all the ships in unison singing the ancient song of Rembrant. It seemed to guide their way through the clouds, for that is where they hid. They patrolled the Sky's above, their sailing techniques all Masterful. to be a Captain of the Fleet was not something just anyone could do, Captains of all Races joined the cause all having proved their Merit. There was no mutiny in the Fleet, the Respect of all the Races together was what powered the Fleet. Sure the Wind guides them, the Fire and Steel protect them and the chains anchor them to the sacred Earth but the Fleet was much more than that. In their combined hardships they understood Greed and the desire of entitlement was akin to their Nemesis the Empire and their new plague, the Red Tide. The crew worked as a family, while the deckhands toiled the militia had gone bellow and attended to the wounded and themselves. It was no easy battle for any of them, the look of victory was met with mournful tears of every family member lost. It was their song, that unified them. It didn't matter if they could sing or sung well it was the symbol of everyone coming together, even humans to fight the ones who wish to see their demise. Unity, that is what bound this ship. It was their code what they all lived by, sure there were disputes and arguments but what family doesn't? To add to this Thelgen as the Grand Admiral forbade any form of inebriation on the decks of the Sky Ships. While he valued a strong Drink he would never bury a kin in arms who was lost to the Drink, no not on his Fleet. They no longer fought each other in disputes, they now had a Plague inching to their Demise. A drunken brawl no longer could win you friend, this was slaughter this was Darkness. While Thelgen knew of Darkness, he was born in the Labyrinth. This was a different Darkness, an unbalanced darkness. As the victorious Captain stood at his helm, his ring cladded boulder of a hand gripping the wheel firmly against the strong winds. holding the entire ship in place, as if his one hand was pushing against the Wind itself through his wheel. they had descended the clouds as a large mountain came into view. A familiar Mountain to any explorer but holding a secret long since hidden. Thelgens Wolf cloak blowing in the wind behind him the bowl of his pipe clenched in his free hand as he puffed it. He clenched it now in his teeth. "Helmsman." bellowed Thelgen. The staunch Wood Elf would walk over to him. "Aye, Captain." Thelgen motioned to the wheel. " The Winds are fevourable now Lad, remember in the strongest of storms. One must keep centered." The Elf grabbed the wheel. "Always remember that Lad, in all yer walks o life." He spoke the words as he patted the Elf’s back sending him falling forward into the wheel with the gentle pat of Thelgen. "watch yer footing." The Elf sighed his eyes forward guiding their way home. "Aye, Captain." his respectful and embarrassed voice carried to the Admiral as he looked over to the railing of the Ship, there looking over the Edge was Isha and Lyrick. the Old Druid getting her caught up to all that happened at Darshire, the reason the Red Tide and 13th were there to begin with. The Capture of Alaihandra. Thelgen would take his time walking over to them, allowing his old friend to talk to her. A Proud Admiral and a First Born Mardune, there was so much he accomplished yet his feet seemed to hold him back.

VampyrVixen: The Raven elf could feel the wind ruffling past her feathers, the darkness of the endless night captured within each single feather. Some were older than others, some even were lost upon the gush of air the made the elf stutter at the feeling of the sky upon her skin. She attempted not to but with such little clothing she was shivering so high off the ground. She tries to shake it off, but the wiggling nervousness of her skin could tell anyone how cold she would be. "Damned... I didn't know air elementals could kiss one's body to freezing plup, because that's where I’m headed quite soon. Very soon." Her hand hugs her shoulders as she trying to keep her flowing cloak upon her. Even the sun's lovely rays illuminating the fleet could not give her adequate warmth. She feels the softness of her own feathers upon her own figure tips. Some where broken, some were only but a spine. So many were they. She brushes a hand to her arms in a cradled position were the small raven still lay, nestling up to her bosom. She smiles dearly to the creature. "Little friend...Even though the ice in the air insists on freezing me upon my standing here, we are safe. We are safe and that is what counts as of now. Our other friends, those horses. They are free roam upon the earth's crust at their own free will without man or elf to force them otherwise. For if they wish to bow to man that is their choice. No being should live in fear or service to another without their own choice. If they wish to bond themselves to a man or an elf, that is their choice... Their freedom.... It is joyous... it's Euphoric. Is it not, Little friend? Lyrick?" She turns to the old druid with a deepened smile. "They free as we are to be." She attempts to shake off the chill that carries itself down her spine, holding the little raven much like a mother would her own child. "I am glad you and Crystal were am to leave swiftly away. I had not even noticed you all left. My deepened sleep ensnared me well for I was restrained from consciousness. Laying upon the tree with the comfort a warm fire after winter's night would give. Either way I am happy." She almost wishes to extend her arm for what affection she offered, a sweet hug. But she stood back hoping she wouldn't turn a pale ebony from frost bite as it creeped upon her neck. She is quite happy she finished sewing that corset now. She purses her plump lips feeling rather giving, or rather as if she owes something to her saviors. She has never been that close in any situation with the empire where she prayed the Raven queen would be swift in cutting her string of life and that she may be held by her patroness's cold loving embrace of death into eternity. "I must speak with their leader soon." she gently whispers to Lyrick, seeming off centered from her normal confidence.

MrMurasaki: "Calm down young Raven, warm your bones." The Druid had a chuckle in his voice, although his condition still not getting better. none the less he flew on the Sky Wolf caring for all who needed the herbal healings of this Old crooked Druid. He had clenched in his hand the bowl of a Pipe, the stem a bit longer than Thelgens crooked one. The Druid seldom smoked from the Pipe, he would occasionally cough. He kept it sacred with his Dwarven Family, as well as the seldom Drink. there was just something so elemental about fermented plants, the Dwarves perfected it. The liquid was a shockingly bright white but heavy as any Ale should be, heavier even as if the Earth sank in your stomach with each gulp. they called it LyreRum, the bright liquid reminding them of their sacred Labyrinth Crystals the Lyre. The Druid smiled down to her, while his form was a bit bent and crooked he still stood tall enough to look down to her. "Come now Raven Priestess, you must be cold." He would remove his sacred cloak, adorned with Death, Minerals, Plant matter and even little bells. The bells shine resembling to the Crown of Malgus, for those who would know its shine. a Jeweled smelting of Platinum, Silver and Mithril. Their elegance shone in the light and in the Wind they chimed so harmoniously. The soft sound carried into the Wind as mountain came closer, the Druid adjusted his wide cloak onto her shoulders being extra careful not to damage her Raven spaulders as he did. "There young Raven, you'll warm up." He would hear a low thud, plate on wood as it came closer. Lyrick turned and looked way down to his approaching friend. He stood before the two his arms crossed, his wolf head hood still over his eyes so that all that could be seen of his face was his bulbous nose and his gray white beard gently dancing in the wind. His Beard seeming to flow from the mouth of the Wolf. With a chuckle in his voice he spoke. "It has been many a Moon since I saw you Young Pup give up yer cloak, This Lass mus be summin special." The hidden deep red eyes of Thelgen eyed her over, but kept his stone form through and through leaving no indication of enchantment. The Dwarves were unmoving and Proud, they just don't bed anyone, not a true Mardune. "she was with us in the Grove Thelgen, We couldn't find her. Without the Ley I could not sense this well perched Raven. My heart sunk as I departed on the Wagon. I did something I rarely do and that was prayed, to her Goddess. I do not know of her but I know she is of the Raven and they are..." he moved his hand towards his Cloak that was dressing the young Elf and rubbed the three hanging Raven feathers. "Unbreakable creatures." His old withering eyes grey misty at his memories but quickly met them with a grin seeming to crack his weathered skin, now so tanned it was tough and rugged just like bark would be. The runes that etched his skin seemed to be fading from his body, while still slightly prominent anyone who has been around him would notice. "Furgive my cold gaze on the Field Lass, I could not allow them to harm another. Those Silent Devils, the Pawns of that Calf of the Empire. They have no idea what be in store for them. I assure you." He would wink to her saying the last sentence his pipe cluthed firmly in his teeth causing his already thick accent to be further accented by the hindrance of his closed jaw. He motioned them to follow him to the Bow of the Bulky Dwarven designed Warship. As he stepped to the railing which was much smaller design than all the other ships to accommodate him the only Dwarf in the Fleet on his Capitol Ship the Sky Wolf. As he stood crossed his foot raised to the top of the raining and bracing himself the Wind blowing his cloak once more. As they would join his side at the Bow, as the Ship turned around the tip of the mountain, located hidden within a Canyon formed into the side of the mountain. An earthen ledge further adding cover. As the got into view the eyes could not fathom what came into light before them. "Welcome Lass, to the West Gate of Khaz' Aurus. The Mardune welcome ye."

VampyrVixen: The depths of her eyes somewhat narrowed as her attempted to give her his cloak. "A foolish old one you are. My feathers will aid me in my own warmth sir, I need not more clothing for it only weighs upon dexterity and-." She feeling the wind blow quickly upon her skin, shivering and shuttering at it's cold grasp grazing her skin with tiny blades of ice jabbing upon the miniscule pores of her skin. The raven's body is pulled closer to her body as if to give warmth to it before her own, a mother putting her child before her own basic human necessities out of care. She purses her lips to the druid with a face twisted with annoyance. "Do not give me a smug face... I will accept your gift but I wish to offer something as well to you soon, something of equal value or greater. Do you understand me, old one? I do not accept things for free not now, not ever." Her lustful voice was pure with desire to service those whom provide for her. She is not one to simply accept, but to give. Her fingers touch the raven's body, stroking it's lovely feathers. "I also owe something to the one whom wields such a... creation. The Mardune. He has serviced me well, and I am unsure if I would be able to provide him with something as equal to the cost of life's strings being untouched." As she hears now the one with who she speaks off before her. Even with their height different being clear, she kneels down to the Mardune deeply moved by his efforts against the empire. He has gone out of his way to not only save her but preserve each and every life that sits aboard the ship. Her eyes lay upon stare upon the floor with the raven knelt against her torso. Her hand tentatively play upon the floor, not daring to meet his gaze just yet. "I do not blame you old one, for I am here with you now. The web of life still spins for me. I may be but a bug upon the web while the Empire's spider continues to spin it's silk but death has not claimed me, and the Raven queen still awaits my soul in my inevitable end." She shakes her head, trying to choice her words carefully. "Mardune, you have protected my race and preserved it with saving my life. I..." She looks up to him upon the ground. Her eyes trace the runes upon his skin, reminding her of her own skin patterns that have naturally been created in birth. A marking of her position to the Queen. A speaker for the Queen. In her culture, being born with such markings meant she was to service the queen in life, directly. She had upheld this for so long until her Queen vanished, she bit her lip in her voided thoughts of uselessness. "I do not mean to stare, I apologize... I simply was lost in my thoughts." She glances away from his reddened eyes as speaks, standing up once more. "The horses are free to roam, and so am I because of you. The pain they suffered because of the damned Legion was unbearable to watch. It was unnecessary... I appreciate the service you have done me and those lovely creatures. As it is, I feel indebted to you, sir. You need only ask, and I will provide whatever you ask of me. So is the way of my people." Her gaze was much more submissive to what she would normally wear. Her oceanic eyes search him for something, anything. Her voice purred through the air with desire. She looks out now by the railing to see the lovely canyon, her eyes widened in astonishment. "It, It's gorgeous.. so lively.... I am not too much use to that." She giggles to her herself turning back to the men.

MrMurasaki: He listened to her words closely and chuckled under his breath his pipe clenched in his teeth. "Ye are among the gracious Dwarves now Lass, I dare not try to hold down such a creature but you will always find a home ere at the East Gate and I'll sock any man dares say oterwise!" The Dwarf swung his fist up although he did not know why he did this, he sunk under his wolf hood. If his dark skin could blush he would be fifty shades of red, surly causing his eyes to disappear. The great Thelgen, brought down by an Enchantress, not by her spell. No by something else, something more elemental more real. His actions were not clouded by an illusion but by his own deep burning... Love? He shook off the thought as a passing fancy. As the Ships descended the real visage of the Port Gate was revealed, hovering close to the Large dock that extended into the massive Mountain River were large more slender and elongated ships. They were anchored in place with ramps and scaffold systems in place, these ships were new the Races of Sky Fleet collaborated and created these Sky Homes to house the influx of refugees. Thelgen looked up as the Ships got closer to the dock. Circling and soaring through the various wind streams were men and women young and old all different and all brought together here, they glided through the sky on long boards, accented with fins underneath and a long sail in the center. Sky Riders as they have been affectionately known to be referred as. The Sky Wolf and the other Flag Ships lowered down closer to the main dock, a tall tree standing in the center. The remaining ships had raised into the air, all going to their own dock built into the mountain and connected by more scaffolding and ramp systems. The Flag Ships landed in the water and docked side by side to the dock where the Sky Wolf docked right in the center in front of the tree. Thelgen remained behind to help unload and restock with his crew as did all the ships, the Imperial Horses stolen by the Fleet were treated with the most care as they were unloaded from the Ship. The Druid walked with Isha down the dock towards the commons which bustled with community and spirit, adults and children would run up bestowing gifts and welcome. “Now, Crystal should be here somewhere…” Lyrick peered through the crowds, last he saw of her she was following the heel of Allaistair.

CrystalOnyx: -It was time for Lyrick to come back with Isha, the woman they had briefly befriended in the grove before everything happened. She watched from the docks as the ships came in, heavy gusts of wind coming off them as they landed. Crystal was bandaged and bruised up from training with Allistair, he didn't go easy on her which she didn't mind. Being short she had to look through the people instead of over them. She soon caught the glimmer of Lyrick and soon moved through the crowds to get to him. She had a tired and sore look on her face as she finally saw them, but her small smile still remained.- "Welcome back, I'm so glad you two made it back safe." -She stole a glance back to see if Allistair was behind her, though she didn't know if he even followed her out here. They had been training for a while which let her get to know him a bit. She felt pretty close to him now, but she was glad to see her other friends and eager to see what this war council meeting would be like.-

VampyrVixen: Allistair wouldn't be close behind her, stopped behind a few others but she could see his tall looming figure over head. His blonde hair neatly pushed back perfectly. His emerald eyes glancing about to keep tabs upon her as she buries herself within the dense crowd as Thelgen ordered him to. At least she was beautiful and sweet. Dainty and fragile, but he knows he can toughen her up as he's done with many men and women here. His raw strength even just grappling was astonishing to those who witnessed it, a clear mirroring of his primal heritage. He sighs as to others that stop him to speak about whatever they need to. He grumbles silently, his annoyance and frustration upon his face. Isha walked with Lyrick silently as she didn't have much to say, she simply appreciated all that this fleet was doing for all these lives as she for some reason just knew none of these lives were to be extinguished soon. Seeing the woman she had promised to help not too long ago, she would have a sweetened smile upon her cheeks. "Oh child, I'm quite happy to see you well. I was relieved when he said you were here."

MrMurasaki: Lyrick smiled as they conversed, adding his occasional banter accented by his clenched pipe. In the Distance the Sky Prince glided from his port, he didn't stop to talk brushing by them as if they didn't exist in the slightest. It wouldn't be long before he disappeared into the crowd with a couple of his officers. "I hate to say it but I really don't like that Elf, there is something amiss with him..." The old Druid said as he watched the Elf march then returning his gaze to the group." At the end of the dock loud clods cut through the banter of the Port, Thelgen followed by his own Officers marched down the Pier followed by other Commanders and their Officers, the last ones to arrive. He walked to the group and slowed his pace enough to say very sternly. "Ye there, come with me. It's time, help me find Allaistair and we will get this underway." Thelgen marched passed them keeping his pace slowed so they could follow. "Well you heard him, not many people outside Sky Fleet get to see these meetings. you're in for a treat, just be calm and try not to speak too harshly." The Druid smiled down to them as he turned to follow Thelgen who marched in the direction the Sky Prince had faded into.

CrystalOnyx: -Crystal recognized the elf as he pushed passed them.- "I don't think anyone really likes him." -She commented out loud and then smiled softly to Isha. She turned and started to walk with them, keeping beside Isha as she spoke loud enough for the woman to hear her.- "I'm so happy to see you too." -She had a soft limp as her leg was bruised, her hands wrapped in bandages and even a bandage around her stomach. She had a minor bruise on her forehead, but she still kept a joyful smile. They seemed to be heading back now, the tallness of Allistar in the distance caught her attention. Though she knew he would be busy, so she kept to Isha almost like a child next to their mother.-

VampyrVixen: "He doesn't have a pleasant aura around him, not at all. He doesn't look that clever. No, he looks suspicious... I would not trust that one with my life nor my body." She side eyed the elf, speaking those words as if they're something anyone would say. She then turned by to them, a hand upon her shoulder. "I see you've been through quite the brawl? I didn't take you as the warrior type hun." She giggles to the woman. She though brings her blue eyes to the druid and the mardune. "I'm not entirely sure who that is but I suppose I may help." She gives the Mardune a sweetened curl of her plump lips. "Also old one... if my tongue is sharp, it will cut through around me like parchment whether I wish it to or not." She meets his gaze. Though soon, Allistair's frustration showed, pushing his way through the crowd like a barreling boulder. His teeth gritted with anger, his temper showing clearly even as he approached Crystal and the others. His brow furrowed, trying to calm himself.

MrMurasaki: Thelgen stopped only briefly as he arrived beside Allaistair. "Come, Allaistair. We mus't keep them waiting. I am proud of you, very proud and so would Malgus." Thelgen continued his advance, the crowd seemed to part as the group advanced forward. They arrived to a large stone spiral staircase that Thelgen began ro ascend, upon arriving at the top they were met with large wooden doors and two guards standing on either side. Thelgen bursted through the door with a strong push, they swung open as he entered the Room, the Sky Fleet commanders dispersing into the room to his sides. He stood before and rested both hands on the side of the large war map in the center of the room, leaning in he puffed on his pipe assessing the map briefly before the meeting would start. As the group approached the two guards held out their hands. "This is for sky Fleet personel only, Allaistair we recognize you and the Druid but the others they must remain in the hall." "That is absurd? On whose authority? Guests have always been permitted access in the care of a Fleet Member!" the Druid beckoned out his crooked finger pointing to them. "We were... told...." They stopped awaiting the backlash to come.

CrystalOnyx: -Crystal scurried into the room behind them all, hiding mostly behind Isha who was picking a fight with Allistair. She would stop where ever they did, standing to the back as she would just be listening or so she thought. She admired all the differently dressed people and the different colors of them all. Her ice blue eyes rested on the elf again, the one engulfed by the color violet. She leaned against the wall behind those who stood by the table, pushing a strand of hair behind her ear as she waited for the meeting to start.-

VampyrVixen: Isha soon followed in with the others, turning her cheek to the young woman, and wrapping an arm around her shoulders being wary of her injury. She smiled to the girl, hoping she wasn't over stepping her boundaries, "Child, don't hide away behind others when things get tense, it only shows weakness. He won't actually do as he says, he can't without the Mardune ordering to do so. Not to mention, why slaughter a woman? It would only make him look weak and fragile that he must beat up a female to feel some sort of satisfaction." She then turns back to Allistair, her gaze seeing right through him as if he were transparent. Allistair scoffs at her, soon his gritted his teeth with primal rage. He knew damn well he wasn't actually going to hurt her. Putting his hands on a woman was strictly forbidden to him, unless in terms of sexual consent. He ran a hand through his thick almost white hair with an annoyance frown as he tried to compose himself, joining the others.

MrMurasaki: Thelgens hand would raise once more as the room fell silent, he didn't turn as it wouldn't serve a purpose. His eyes remained on the table but his voice boomed. " The attrocities shown at Darshire will naer be forgivn, these Imperial hounds have gone on too long. We rescue many and yet crimes like Darshire continue to carry on. Fleet, Friends. We are on the verge of War and each step closer we get the more it seems the Empire evades us, still Malgus lies in their clutches." he slammed his fists into the table, had it been not so thick of wood it would have shattered. composing himself he spoke. "We have heard whispers of a resistance building deep in Anthem, while we have yet to be aware of this another story." He turned around looking over the room. "Now, Any of ya have anything te say before we plan our attack? They have seen but a scouting Party at the hands of the Dwarves, with a unified Sky Fleet this Empire will fall. Come now don't be shy speak up!" his gaze wandered the room.

CrystalOnyx: -Crystal accepted the embrace from Isha, wrapping her arms around the woman's body lightly. She noticed the annoyance of Allistair and wished to help calm the irritation, but everyone seemed to quiet down, the words of Thelgen filled the air. Crystal let go of Isha as she listened, jumping a bit as the man struck the table with his fist. Upon hearing him say anyone could say anything, she made her way up to the table. She was shy, but she actually spoke loud enough so they could hear her.- "I witnessed Darshire with my own eyes, the Empire is killing for no reason. . Humans and non-humans. I'm so grateful for what you did and I hope you'll lend even more help in the quest of my friend, Esylana. She wishes to bring back the magic of the land by restoring the leylines. I've helped her with a couple, but now I believe she is on her own. She'll need our help in the event that the Empire probably knows who is doing this by now. I'm afraid something terrible has happened. . I have no way of communicating with her, but I hope to meet up with her soon. I wouldn't be of much help for the war effort. But please if there is anything anyone can do to delay the Empire's attacks and help Esylana forward her question, please do it." -She had passion in her voice as she spoke, she missed her dear friends that took her in when she had nothing. To see their faces again would bring so much happiness to her. As she stood now in silence she could feel her cheek becoming hot as she knew they were looking at her.-

VampyrVixen: Allistair as the right hand to Thelgen followed. Yes, Theglen said to watch over the woman with eyes like that of the sky, but his duties as his protector and his friend were clear. His elvish armor looking like it had just been freshly cleaned with clear reflection as he moves in the brightly lit room. His anger that was there moment before was not present on his brassy poker face. His emerald eyes searched the crowd as the Mardune spoke. As his soft lips parted to speak, the crack of Crystal's voice perked his short elven ears up. A smile forming upon his lips. She was clearly shy, nervous really but her words had meaning that could only deserve respect from those listening. Allistair's curiosity would raise. It's likely that most have known of this wanted woman that has been causing trouble for the Empire and threatening they're hypocritical views on magic. His eyes starting her down as if she were see through glass. "What this woman is doing is admirable, truly. If we could aid her in any way, I would like to know if there's an idea you have in mind? Due remember out ships are less than dexterous in being hidden and that if the Empire is near, they will know who we are. I would know your plan, as I'm sure Thelgen does as well." He spoke with utmost confidence that boomed through the air like a long arrow to it's target. Isha's lips curl at Crystal, But she saw the preciousness of her shyness in her mannerisms. She stepped forward to the table, standing side by side with her as if to comfort her even though she needed to say something as well. "Before she continues, May I speak?" Her words are much more clear rather than it's normal sultry purr. Allistair's eyes run across her, sure she annoyed him but He was to remain neutral and composed. "Proceed." He sternly states. With a deep sigh, She would hold her chin high as she speaks. "I have already formally thanked you for saying my life as a child of the Raven. My goddess I am sure wherever she may be is most pleased by you for protecting her kin, but my words are not to flatter. I wish to make an offer. The markings upon her face symbolize my position in my society; A priestess, a speaker. I am to guide my people with direct word from the one who watches. I share with you that this positions means I am respected , highly amongst my dying race. We may be soon to shed our feathers and fall, but your act cannot go unnoticed to my people. I wish to offer soldiers if I can to service your cause for diverse equality, For they would be loyal to you by my word." Her eyes of alexanderite sparkle as she speaks. All eyes on her, the room is silent. Her feathers do not furrow for she is calm collected in this. Allistair stares with almost disbelief to the woman, and some regret for disrespecting her. He turns his gaze to Thelgen, "Sir?"

MrMurasaki: The loud sneer caught the crowd before Thelgen, the Grand Admiral allowed it for now. The Elf stood up and glided to the table, the other commanders parted. "Dark Elves? Really?" he scoffed throwing his arm to his side into the crewman who took the glass from him and the Sky Prince leaned into his cane looking to Isha." You really think we could trust Dark Elves with this situation? I mean I know we all are gathered but you reak of Death, I could smell it when I walked in this room. I mean at least the Druid has earned his place." He bowed his head to the Druid who glared at him not returning the gesture. " Thelgen, I do apologize but these are serious times and Sky Fleet should be discussing Sky Fleet matters, not the rabble. Your young Quartermaster’s words are always welcome, he's slowly earning his rank." He slyly winked over to Allaistair. "You have come a long way and even survived that other Dark Elf riff raff ohh what's his name?" he rubbed his chin pondering. "Kenshi? Tenchi? Oh never mind he is gone and that peasent hat too." He scoffed. "I per..." Thelgen now spoke. "Ye have earned yer wings under the Fleet Val'Naersh but don't think for a second ye command my room do ye forget where ye stand? You're on ancient lands and to speak against ancient allies and newfound is to speak against the Land herself. Just because ye like to dress fancy and call yerself a "Sky Prince" doesn't mean your ruling in this room." His pipe clenched firmly glaring up into the pale blue eyes of the sulking Prince. The pressence of the short man seemed to loom over the Elf. "Ye dare bring old names up, that is why I brought up yers. "Zenshi was his name, he was an inspiring Lad and a man after my own heart. He left my teachings to find his Love and in the end of the day that is why we are here. Love and Unity. Unless ye have something worth while te say, I suggest you pipe down. " He looked to Isha and let out a deep smile accented by his Pipe. "We most graciously accept ye offer, The first motive of business that you and yer people are to be charged with is the recovering, maintaining and then release of the Horses. I want them well taken care of but we barely have enough for the mouths we feed. After that I am sure we will have more exciting duties for ye and yer kin." He looked to Crystal. "Please Lass, speak yer peace. you mentioned an Esylana. Her name is news te my old ears, ye have the floor." He motioned his hand out.

CrystalOnyx: -As the stuck up elf started his piece about Isha's kind, Crystal could only glare and clentch her fists. She didn't want to speak out even though he was being quite rude. Thankfully Thelgen stepped up and put the elf in his place. Crystal almost couldn't hold in her chuckles, but she soon gain her composure. She smiled to Isha for a moment and wrapped her arm around the woman's lightly to show her support. She soon was blinked as the attention was back on her.- "I've said my piece, but thank you very much for hearing me out." -After she was done speaking she stole a long glance at Allistair. At least the irritation was gone, she was happy about that.-

VampyrVixen: Even though Allistair had just paid this woman disrespect, he almost couldn't handle hearing this man saying those words to her. He almost growled with thick ferocity that made him with to swipe that stupid smirk and attitude of supremacy right of his damned face. His eyes would slit with fury, leaning as if to pounce before his attention is taken by the Raven elf. Her voice carries no hate, no frustration. It is crystal clear with hesitation. "My people are ebony in appearance, yes, we are dark for even if the dark elves were once living side by side with us with feathers and all. My people live alongside death for we were born out of it from our great patroness. We respect death and make sure that the natural order of life stays natural and flowing. I do not fear my death, But with a tongue like yours, you should.." She turns her head to the Mardune, bowing her head with a respect for him. Allistair predatorial stance aimed towards the elf lightened up. Even though his disgust for the sky prince never left his face, he allowed the one he protects to speak. Thelgen scolded him, and Isha didn't regret her sharp words even so. She nodded to him as if to accept that he is speaking now, "Oh but of course. I'm happy to be able to provide to your great cause anyway I can. I will need to travel back to my lands to gain such warriors to aid you unless we already are on course towards there, in Rig'Mortis. I will make sure they are strong and will, for they would serve you and I." She bows to Thelgen, ending her speech. Turning her attention to Crystal, she drapes a hand upon her back leading her back to where they stood as if she was a mother guiding her child. "Crystal..." Allistair's voice extending across the table. "We cannot aid her if we do not know how to."

MrMurasaki: Thelgen bowed himself to Isha. "Aye, how many ships will ye need Lass? I am sure we could spare for yer generosity. We will keep a Patrol if those lands are sacred te ye but in the times of this oppression we should keep close. Which is why we are here." He cleared his throat. "We have been hearing word of a resistance being mounted in Valanice, who is running it is yet te be seen. I was going to send the "Sky Prince" but I feel fer yer outburst ye be grounded temporarily, consider it a vacation. The Elf sneered. "Why Yo..." The Elf stopped his words as a large black hard with brilliant red tail feathers landed into him knocking him to the table the bird hopped off him and stood before Thelgen screeching, attached to his leg a not. Thelgen took it and opened it, he waved his hand while his eyes buried in the letter. "Feed this bird and get it drink. It came a long way..." His red eyes scanned the letter before he folded it up and placed it in his cloak pocket. His voice rang sternly and serious. "Malgus has been located... He is being held at the Imperial Arena awaiting execution..." He looked around the room. "Sky Fleet and all of the Port Gate, unfasten the kegs and get yer fill, eat a plenty and lay as you will tonight we rescue Malgus." He stroked his beard. "This letter was written by Draxis, the Fallen champion of the Empire. Clearly his execution didn't go as planned. none the less he told me to come alone with my crew. So I will Captain the Sky Wolf with Allaistair at my side to rescue Malgus and then upon our return we will depart for the North. Aye unless any of ye have anything to say, we should be getting to the Ale before we lose too many more hours." with a loud chuckle he scanned the room, the loving smile and bow of the Druid met his gaze.

VampyrVixen: The Little elf soon heard his voice booming towards her and her cheeks flustered for she neglected to speak on the able room she would need in here situation. She knew she still needed to leave a decent amount to guard the land and their temple to the one who watches, but she knew if she would ask then to do this for her that they would listen without hesitation or question. Her pink cheeks only should faintly upon her ebony skin as she spoke back, walking towards the table leaving Crystal. "I apologize for my rudeness, I did not mean to walk away before we were done. The amount needed slipped my mind for the moment as I have much on it, but that is no excuse. I can gather as many as I can, I will need at least 3 ships to start as I know there will be many more than willing to service my will. I do not require you to watch over my lands, that is by your own will if you wish to. If that is the case it is appreciated greatly. My queen continues to smile upon you." She follows with the bow of her head to hear him out further before the interruption of the bird. A lovely creature indeed. Allistair though took pleasure in the distaste of the Sky prince, a nasty fellow like him shouldn't even be apart of such a council, especially one that spreads diversity and acceptance. He's a little uneasy that even though giving the floor to Crystal again she would shy away from him. He pursed his lips, allowing a sigh to be released. It's something he will wish to work on with her as his speech is much more fluid even if he at times speaks his thoughts. He turned to Thelgen nodding to him gently, "So Draxis has made himself known to us... But why? He knows we will arrest him and that we will not stop until then. What is his motive?... I want to know. This could easily be a trap, sir. To lure us in without guard..." He pulls back, realizing the Mardune has already changed subject with the mention of ale. He rolls his eyes, bringing a smile to his handsome features.

MrMurasaki: "Of course Lass, we will have plenty of time to discuss, 3 ships should be easily enough te come by. Whoever ye can spare and if ye need te leave some so be it. We can accommodate all here." He smiled to the Ebony Elf giving her a subtle wink. He turned to Allaistair. " I cannot be sure Lad, he kept going on about his crimes and his need of repentance. What happened at this Execution?" he rubbed his beard." I don't know Lad while I would say ye it is a trap this feels different, Sometimes ye just got te trust the wind. " He looked to the council and drew his sacred hammer and slammed it into the solid wood. "Council dismissed, now let's party." He chuckled waving his arms to his close companions. The Druid would glide over to him once more. The sky Prince infuriated breezed past them with his crew to return to his ship. --- Mostly everyone say for the sky Prince was gathered in the Mess Hall, celebrating not only a successful rescue but the news of Malgus location and as well the Location of Draxis. Thelgen stood in the center of the Mess Hall. Everyone seemed to he having a wonderful time, he drank from his tankard and cleared his throat, a deep guttural rumble that would cause everyone to be silent. “Friends, Family and the Freed we celebrate this day as we have brought new faces to the cause and to Freedom.” He held his tankard up and around the room. “Let us drink, eat and lay my brethren but do not get too heaved we need to make the Arena by the Darkest of the Night. We take only the Sky Wolf, when we return we go for Draxis..” Drinking his tankard dry he slammed it into the table followed by cheers. The day wore on him and as the party ensued he found himself making his way to his Chambers aboard the Sky Wolf for much needed rest before the Rescue of Malgus.
