Raxle took Sel's hand and shook it, then let his attention drift up to where Megil was speaking...



"But, while our defences are strong, are people are not numberles. These attacks prove that the enemy isn't cautious on using these creatures as cannon fodder, and it chills me to think how many more there are on reserve."

Serene, new vivec walls

"Oh yes....hmm let me have a look at your arm then"

She took his arm and tore the bloodied sleeve aside. It was a nasty cut, not very deep but long and there ere some substance in the wound which made it bleed excessively.....not good at all...

Serene asked Otik to sit down, she sat down in front of him, put his bleeding arm in her lap, closed the cut with her hands and held tight while she whispered an incantation....focused on the wound.....

After a while, the heat that emerged from her hands slowly made the cut to close up. It was a slow process, but it went on until the cut was closed, the only thing that remained was a red line, like a scar.

Then she took out a potion....

"Here, drink this and the effect of that mysterious substance will fade away"


She smiled encouragingly at Otik......

Otik->Vivec Walls

Otik looked at the potion and drank it. "Thank you very much, now do you know what that substance was?" He said standing up

Megil-Wall, Vivec

Megil smirked,

"Though your concern is understood Raxle. I can assure you that lives are not easily spent by me. But you must trust me in how I defend the city. This attack will only help to falsely boost the confidence of the enemy. They think the city weakly defended, yet the have not even faced a tenth of my troops in battle."

Raxle O'Conner
New Vivec

"Well... I suppose thats good. Now, if you will excuse me me'lord, I must go report to Captain Albarnias. He's not doing quite well at the moment, I think possibly because of that assasination attempted on him not to far back, so I don't think sparring any information from him will do good for his health. You know how he is."

Raxle dipped his head to everyone, "Pleasure to meet you all, I do hope our paths cross in the future, whether that be on the battlfield or not."

Falx's time would soon be up, Raxle presumed. He wondered who would take over after the power vacuum would end.

Megil-Wall, Vivec

Megil nodded tas Raxle turned to leave, then said,

"Tell him that I wish him the best, and should he need anything to not hesitate in askin for it,"

Miles, New Vivec


So, you view lives as a resource eh . . I suppose it doesn't matter to you. How I hatepower hungry autocrats . . .

Miles went about to find Serene's manor, which he located quite easily. He knocked on the manors front door.

Sel, New vivec

"There was an assassination attempt on Falx?" Sel asked, turning to catch up with the leaving Raxle.

Isaarin, New vivec

"Find Dalrus or Stauros for me." he said to a servant, holding out two letters of invitation to his Manor in the city. "I hear that they are in town."

The notes read:

Please join me in my manor in New Vivec at your convenience. We have much to discuss.

Signed,

Isarrin Sithilin, Grandmaster of House Hlaalu

As the servant bowed and left, Isaarin pulled out a map and drew a few small plans; nothing drastic, of course, there was nothing to plan for. Yet.

Megil-New Vivec

It is better to loose lives in defense than to let a city be slaughtered. My duty is to
look out for the greater good with as small a sacrifice as possible. Though I would never expect one such as you to think as such. he thought to Miles as he left.

Serene, new vivec

"Ehh..noo but I´ve seen it before..it prevent the blood from coagulating the normal way..it´s also used to kill rats with, but you´ll be ok now, i suppose" She smiled friendly at Otik.

In the corner of her eye she noticed Miles approaching her manor......



Random Ordinator, outside Serene´s and Jonacin´s manor


"Hallo there!!! where do you think you´re going??"

Miles, New Vivec, Outside Serene's Manor

Miles stood thinking about what Megil had "said", but it still didn't seem right to him. War was a failure of diplomacy, the diplomats were always to blame, and with a government that had one direct ruler who took top priority, the blame should be reasonably placed upon that ruler. Megil had stated that it was his duty. . .

The thing that puzzled him most was the fact that somehow Megil had read his thoughts, which made him wary of the man. He had heard of such powers before, but had never found out much about them.

Miles heard the ordinator and spun to face him.

"I was . .er. . just . . ." Miles couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation that wouldn't sound silly.

"I was going to get a clean pair of clothes." He told the guard hesitantly.

Otik->New Vivec

"heh, kills rats?" Otik saw Serene notice Miles at her house. "Uh who's he?" Otik said nodding over to Miles

Random ordinator by Serene´s manor

"Clothes??? why would Lady Serene and Master Jonacin give YOU some clothes?....well have to ask the housekeeper then....."

He went inside for a while......then he returned and asked Miles to step inside

"Go talk to Miss Satyana, the housekeeper, she´ll be in the hallway" The Ordinator shook his head and muttered something like "you n´wah"


Serene talking with Otik

"Oh him...it´s Miles.....Niran´s brother......you do remember Niran don´t you?" Serene smiled ....

Otik->New Vivec

"Niran, yeah I remember Niran. I do recall an accident between him and Megil. So how are you and Jonacin coming along?"

Miles, New Vivec, The Manor


Miles glanced angrily at the ordinator "Everyone is so friendly around here aren't they," Miles "asked" with a glare.

He stepped inside and looked around, glancing at his surroundings for several seconds.

Serene,vivec

"Yes that accident.....hmm don´t like to think about it thouigh...Oh Jonacin and I are married....and we have a little daughter.....Selena, called Leni she´s four!"

Serene smiled when taking about her daughter......


"Oh my...Leni is in the house....and that brother of Niran is in there....I hope he´s not gonna harm her"

Miles, New Vivec

Miles hesitantly approached Satyana.

"Miss Satyana?"

Otik->Vivec

Otik saw the look on Serene's face, "Would she mind a visitor? I'd love to see her."

Raxle O'Conner
New Vivec

"Aye" Raxle responded in mid-step, "It happen a little while back, back before you came to the inn. However, I'm not to sure how it happened.. I do know, from reading the reports of the ordinators, that at the end of the assasination attempted the Captain pretty much blew a chunk out of New Vivec square. The man still got away though."

"Anyways, its my guess that whatever "special power" that he used was in some way connected to his dealings with Arkyact, and in the end, it hurt him more then he expected.."

Sel, New Vivec

"What the hell are you talking about? Dealings with Arcyakt?" Sel asked, a little confused. Wasn't Falx helping them get rid of Arcyakt the whole time?

OOC: He never did find out what really happened...
