To Heir Is Human Playground 10, ... Options

Rahvin

"That has to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Why do you think this man has been after Brianna? For these kids. I don't know what's so special about them, but if we abandon them, I do know that they'll have no chance."

Serene, preparing for a showdown

"Too much talkin, to little action" she muttered and closed her eyes, focusing to gain mental power to use her exquisite magica

The remaining baby-girl she put back in the bed, then with semi-closed eyes she went for the door, there was a strange bluish aura engulfing her as she walked.....

"Are you coming? So we can send that piece of dirt to his ancestors"

[jack cloudy]

Flint Ironwood.

,,Don't wait for me. Sneaky ambushes are my specialty." Flint responded and exited through the window.


Veric, outside.

Veric waited patiently.
,,So, you have come Serene. I have heard much about you. If only half of what they say is true, this will be very entertaining."
He casually flicked off a fireball that killed several guards who had arrived at the scene.
,,I hope you don't mind that I took care of the interuption?"



(Dantrag, the Lich has left. Flint is a normal living Breton. I think you messed up the names accidentally. )

[minque]

Serene, getting into a fight

Serene had barely the time to cast a frostshield on herself, so when the fireball hit her she was totally soaked wth meltingwater, but still unharmed

"Yes Veric I´m hereto deal with you once and for all! You want my children dead, and I can´t allow that"

She lifted her left hand and pointed at Veric, a thin blue-white beam emanated from her outstretched finger and hit Veric in his right temple.....A swoshing sound was heard when the beam penetrated Veric´s head


"My famous protruding finger......" Serene hissed with an evil smile





OOC: A spell known from AMU, Serene used it to torture Konrad´s charachter, it´s extremely painul, but doesn´t kill it´s victim immediately, just makes hin go mad!

[jack cloudy]

Veric, in pain!

Veric growled.
,,That hurts, woman!" He raised his hand again and countered with a Telekinetic blast that lifted cobblestones off the street as it passed.

Flint, well he has to interfere.

Flint had arrived on top of the building. He didn't hesitate for one moment. The young Breton put his own Magicka in a wave of Telekinesis that smashed into Veric's. For a moment, the two forces seemed to be closely matched, then Veric's Telekinetic wave continued moving towards Serene. Slower, but no less dangerous.
,,Get out of the way, Serene!" Flint managed to shout, despite pushing his abilities to the limit in an effort to slow the spell.

[minque]

Serene, being alert

She saw it coming, so she just stepped aside and increased te strength of her magic beam. At the same time she prepared for a VC.......

"Flint, just jump aside when I say, I´m going to barbecue him in a moment"

[jack cloudy]

Flint Ironwood, in battle.

Seeing that Serene got out of the way, Flint dove off the building and rolled within range of Veric. He called upon his Breton Heritage and the powers of the Dragon Skin flowed around him like a liquid skin. He had already drawn his katana when he rose up from the ground. Using every trick he knew, the Breton began to slash away at Veric.

Veric, fighting.

The Telekinetic wave smashed into the inn, making the walls shake. The pain of Serene's spell was clouding his mind and he reacted slowly. Veric drew his sword and tried to keep the younger man away from him. Both men were largely inexperienced in swordfighting but Flint had both the advantage of speed and Serene's protruding finger harming Veric.

Veric touched his foe with his free hand and tried a touch spell that was harmlessly absorbed by the Dragon skin. If he hadn't been distracted by the pain in his head, he would have turned the Breton into ash. In response, Flint crouched and cut into Veric's legs.
,,Argh, you annoying bug! You're good for your age but you'll never beat me!" Veric dropped his sword and raised a wall of flames around him, forcing Flint to retreat.

,,Alright Serene, he's distracted. I'll absorb the fire to give you an opening. Just grab your chance as soon as possible. I won't be able to do that for long!" Flint shouted as he approached with his hands stretched forward. The flames began to flow towards him, entering his fingers and making him feel as if he was standing on fire.

In fact, he was standing on fire. Veric laughed despite the pain and fed more power to his flames, power Flint could not control. Smoking, he collapsed in a heap.
,,Now that was very stupid of you." Veric said. He was about to deal the finishing blow when Serene's protruding finger distracted him again.

,,Stupid woman! You like to hurt people? I'll hurt you where it hurts the most. I shall kill the children, right now!" He shouted in rage and raced for the inn, launching a large fireball towards Serene as he did so. His dislike for killing in cramped chambers seemed to be forgotten.


(Alright, I'm off to bed. Please take over Veric for me. )

Serene, performing the final countdown on Veric

Seeing Flint on fire, she took the one and only chance she´d ever get, with a roar in anger and despair she cast EVC with all the power she could come up with in that moment.

The spell caught Veric just as he was to enter the Inn......at first nothing was to be seen but after a couple of seconds his body was literally swelling......his flesh became reddish and his skin started to curl and blacken as the potent fire consumed him from inside.....

A terrible stench filled the air as Veric´s body moved in random patterns, he screamed in agony as the fire spread thoughout his intestines...and he fell to the ground in a stinking heap


"Flint? Are you ok?" Serene cast a minor healing-spell at the Breton, she had used most of her power so she could just hope it was enough to save him


She walked to the door and stepped inside the Inn again........


OOC: Bedtime I´m afraid!

[Tellie]

Haldin, sending Veric off to his slimy rotten place.

Haldin, had decided to stay with the children, it was just that...well, Serene had killed Veric, or so she thought. Haldin had walked down, seeing Veric stand up again, large painful burns all over his body. Before either of them knew what was happening, Haldin launched himself at Veric, pushing them out into the muddy broken streets of Bruma.

Haldin, was sitting on top of Veric, punch after punch landed in Verics face, shattering bones and cracking teeth each time. Veric regained his senses a bit, managing to get one of his legs free, he landed a kick in Haldins face, who fell backwards, hitting his head on a beam.

"Pitiful elf, you really think you can defeat me" he whispered to Haldin. Haldin knew, he had no chance here...but still, his amulet might give him a chance...too bad that it wouldn't be available for use later.

He grasped it, and mumbled the words..."mishaner I'rmh ainawha Azura sereloth" His mind went black, and from his mouth came the voice of a woman Serene had heard before...Azura.

"Beast, you shall not lay a hand on the children, my servants stand by my side, as long as they are here, your plans shall fail...I banish you back to the hells that spawned you", then Haldin (in a trance like movement) lifted his hand, a white beam shot out from it...and Veric was gone...he smiled for a moment, before he collapsed into the mud.

Meanwhile, Verics frail body (what was left of it anyway) fell limp to a floor, he looked around, realizing he was trapped within the country of his own design, only it was locked from him...and everyone else.

OOC:Well, ok, a but well fluffy perhaps, but I found it a it funny, so now Veric is out of the picture for quite many years...(dont worry, I'm working on a plan to bring him back ), and Haldin is lying half dead in teh streets, Salina and the rest of my characters are around...somewhere.

[jack cloudy]

Flint Ironwood, awake.

Flint woke up. His Dragon skin had gone and he felt horrible. Smoke was still coming from him. Fortunately his prized Dark Brotherhood cloak seemed to be treated in such a way that it hadn't burst into flames. Flint healed his injuries with the Magicka he stole from Veric, but the pain remained.

Haldin was lying in the mud a bit further away, Serene was nowhere to be seen.
,,Crap, the Breton must have gone inside." Flint jumped up and sprinted into the inn. He dove through the door and pointed his katana at the first thing that moved.
,,Serene! Eh...sorry, I couldn't see it was....nevermind." He mumbled and carefully moved his katana into a position that wasn't likely to kill the woman.
,,So, where did the Breton go?"

[minque]

Serene, worried about Haldin, now as the babies are safe


Serene found the baby-boy with Rahvin, with a grumpy look in his face, he was obviously hungry so she opened her dress and gave him what he desired.

Then she gently put the little boy back to bed, his sister was sound asleep.

Now Haldin had rushed out...but he hadn´t come back again! Flint was ok....that was a relief.....but sweet Haldin!

She went out and found him lying on the ground...lifeless as it seemed! She immediately rushed to his side, kneeled beside him and searched for any lifesign. She felt a weak pulse and so she put her hands on his chest, chanting slowly:

"Vakna upp min kära, jag ger dig livet och styrkan åter"

Serene smiled happily as Haldin opened his eyes and looked devotingly at her!

[jack cloudy]

Flint Ironwood, with the babies.

Flint looked won on the little ones. Amazing that something that small would grow into an adult.
,,Well, at least you now have a chance to grow up. With that Breton gone, things should calm down a bit. So no more running away all the time." He sat down in the corner.

,,I'd love to think it is all over, but it isn't. Brianna is as good as death and what are we going to do with the children? They deserve to know their mother, except how are they ever going to get the chance?" Lost in thought, the Breton slowly fell asleep, utterly exhausted by the whole thing.

[Dantrag]

OOC: Rahvin was holding the kid you just put to bed, but whatever, we'll just say serene took it from him or something. "I edited my post so it fits in (minque)"

Rahvin

With the commotion over, and his son asleep, he had time to think. Brianna was obviously in no condition to care for him, so it looked like he was next in line for the position. He also needed to figure out a name.

I don't think he would like it if I called him 'kid' all the time.

The fact that there were three different children with at least two different fathers amazed him. (OOC: he hasn't seen the stolen kid, so he doesn't know its race) Which brought up the issue of the third child that was supposedly stolen by Telina's sister.

Which reminded him of Telina. Why did she leave with no warning? Did she see the similarities between himself and the baby and get angry over it?

He sighed and walked outside, hoping that maybe some fresh air in his lungs would magically give him all the answers.

[minque]

Serene

It was the calm that comes after a storm....Serene went outside for a while, pondering about what would happen now. Flint was right , they have to protect the two remaining babies. Hopefully the boy would be safe with Rahvin....The girl she intended to take care of personally......But how? And where?

She sat down leaning against the wall of the Inn and closed her eyes......waiting for.....something

[jack cloudy]

Flint Ironwood, time to go home.

Flint woke up. He was still feeling sore but not so bad that he couldn't travel.
,,Well, people. I am afraid I can no longer help you. So I'll get out of here. If you ever pass North Point in High Rock, come visit me. But first, time to eat." He went to the nearest tavern where he started eating everything within reach. After all the trouble he'd gone through, he was starving.


(Time to wrap this up.)

Rahvin

Rahvin saw Serene leaning against the inn, apparently trying to figure out the answers to her own questions.

"So," he remarked casually as he moved closer, "Have any parenting tips for me?"

He was beating around the bush, of course, slowly trying to make his way towards the real issue.

OOC: I doubt this will be over in 3 posts. WE have quite a few loose ends to tie up before moving on.

Serene

"Rahvin?" Serene was all of a sudden clearly awake, looking at the young dunmer in front of her

"I don´t think you´ll need any advice, you have proven to be a responsible, intelligent young man and I´m pretty sure you´ll know what to do in any situation.....Although you just might get a little problem with the feeding....the boy is too small for having anything but mother´s milk" Serene stopped, looking at Rahvin..

"I could of course assist you in that particular matter for some time, until he can take other nourishment....or I could maybe ......." She stopped again, and sort of went into herself, thinking



OOC: The mother´s milk-replacement-stuff that´s available nowadays did not exist in this world, so maybe Serene will have to invent some stuff......yes I´m sure she will!

Serene

Rahvin

Rahvin nodded, grateful that Serene would take care of the baby's hunger for now.

"So what of Brianna? What can we do for her?"

[minque]

Rahvin

Rahvin nodded, grateful that Serene would take care of the baby's hunger for now.

"So what of Brianna? What can we do for her?"

OOC: Telina took Brianna with her when she left....I think..

Serene

"We can´t do so much for her right now, time will hopefully cure her, that and her inborn dunmer-strength. Her father is a dunmer you know.." Serene sighed, she was worried about Brianna abd the babies. The evil powers were still nearby, somehow..


"But you could tell me how it can be that you obviously are the father of one of her children? I thought you did not have a tryst with her...hmm I could be wrong of course, I´m a bit confused right now..besides I have kind of found a name for the remaining girl....I think Satyana is a sweet name, don´t you think so?"

Rahvin

"To answer your first question, that 'tryst' was quite some time ago. I didn't even realize that Brianna was the same woman until today. I was let out of prison to kill one of Jadier's guard captains, so I was in the castle, acting as a servant, and she was Jadier's healer or something. Needless to say, I took my time with my assassinations. No need to rush getting back to prison, right?" He felt awkward explaining the situation to Brianna's mother, but shrugged it off easily; it was an odd situation.

He didn't allow any time for awkward silence, he merely answered the next question.

"Satyana...good name, I guess. I guess I get the job of naming mine, right?"
