The sylph incident
QUOTE
Falmari watched Niran leave and stood up and shook her fists in the air and yelled, "you half brained dimwit imperial you will pay for that crack. oh yes, I just know how much you hate paralysis, I can see it in your heart." The eyes of the snake on her staff glowed momentarily then dimmed, Niran was frozen into place. "you try and insult an old woman, and you ahve no sword to even back your words up with." then quietly added "dimwit". quite a humorous sight to behold, with the jewelry chinking and jangling as she shook her fists.
You're damn lucky I don't. Niran thought, but couldn't speak because of the paralysis.
How the hell had he insulted her to begin with?
As Niran stood still, he had nothing to do and his thoughts wandered.
To his dead sister and mother. . .
The seer, marched fromt he group towards niran and began to poke around his face with her fingers, and look into his eyes.
"lucky you don't ha!, hmm empty threats child"
she wacked him in the back of teh knees with her staff kncoking him into a kneeling position.
"yes beg, beg boy. How sad poor mommy and sissy aren't here to protect you," she said laughing most bitterly.
"I can make it worse boy, oh yes I can. here let me open this door," she said before unlocking the door holding back Niran's emotions and memories of his family. "oh don't cry baby, on't cry it alright. Mama Fal is here to take care of you." she said, before once again giggling and wiping the tears coming from his eyes.
her eyes clouded and her laugh dropped off suddenly as if someone had suddenly clenched her neck and squeezed it. A wave of horror shook her seemingly frail form. then as if nothing happened she began laughing again.
"oh girls, heres a new toy. and don't be shy let him see your wild sides."
Several sylphs came out of the water and ran to niran, they caressed him as the tears came,
"oh don't cry."
