To Heir is Human II- Playground 9, That time again.... Options

Kirana

She shrugged and smiled. "Oh, the spore I would have to identify first, but the wind will carry it eastward so we should be fine. Even if there were numerous pods, the agents will desperse soon and no longer be concentrated enough to have any adverse effects."

She added coyly, "And your concern for our safety is touching."

Rann

"Well, you know me. Always thoughtful, putting others before myself, and all that other great stuff." he replied, suddenly feeling the urge to smoke. Maybe because he hadn't for quite some time.

"Since Ian seems to be taking care of himself just fine and doesn't need us, I've got a question for you, Kirana. Well, actually two questions."

[Lord Revan]

Kirana

She nodded, "Sure, what do you want to know, Rann?"

PS: refresh is a valuable asset, especially since the pages don't change until you refresh or leave the topic/change page.

Rann

"Well, you're knowledgeable in magick, so I was wondering if you knew anything about this," he said, rolling up his sleeve to reveal his tattoo.

"And if not, would you be willing to study, or experiment, or whatever the hell it is you mages do to learn more about weird stuff?"

Rann was hoping to be able to find a way to bypass the nasty after-effect of using his power, and he figured Kirana would be the best person for the job. If not, maybe there was something else to be learned about it.

[Lord Revan]

Kirana

She bent to look at the tatoo, running her finger along its design. Kirana cocked her head studying it to see if the image itself was familiar. Finally, she opened her bag and rummaged through its contents.

Setting it down, Kirana produced a roll of parchment, a quill, and several tomes she often used used for references. Without so much as warning Rann, she siezed his arm and focused some of her magicka into the image, not any particular displine, just raw magicka.

The ink blazed crimson, and Kirana relented. She wrote down what she'd seen, then looked at Rann. "This could take awhile," Kirana decided to offer Rann a chance to avoid any harm her poking and prodding might inflict. "Do you want me to really investigate this mark?"

[Dantrag]

Rann

Rann shrugged.

"Just heal it afterwards," he said, "And while you're at it, maybe you could dig this whip out of my other arm?"

"I already know a small bit about it; it lets me absorb the magicka around me and channel it into whatever I want, though I have no knowledge or talent for magicka. And after I use it I collapse and have to recover for quite some time. If I don't rest long enough, I feel like I'm about to die."

"Other than that, though, I'm pretty clueless. I just know what my dad told me in a letter."

[Priest of Sithis]

Patholos

Patholos and the Shadow Eaters came to the front of the cave complex that Mannimarco was supposedly staying at. Three men dismounted with Patholos and they went into the cave. The first thing that betrayed Mannimarco were the black soulstones scattered around the heart of the cave. Patholos and his men moved into the cave and saw Mannimarco sitting at a desk. Patholos walked up to the King of Worms and said, "Mannimarco, I must inform you of the recent happenings, and then we will decide how to control this army. First, the Brotherhood I am in is no longer the Dark Brotherhood, but the Narza'Tai, and we have differences in operations. However, we still believe that we need your help and we need to stop this army. Karn, our Sensei, has joined under false pretenses the army of snakemen and they think the Dark Brotherhood still exists. What do you have to say about that?"

[Lord Revan]

Kirana, beginning

She looked at the chain whip's blade carefully. "Alright, this might be uncomfortable..."

Kirana cast corrosion on the imbedded weapon, the dagger end turned to ash and now dripped out with Rann's blood.
The scholar focused on the ash particles and removed them from the wound. Blood gushed out, and Rann'ss arm began to shake from blood-loss.

Quickly, Kirana stooped the bleeding and closed the gash. She spoke gently, "I'll wait until your body recovers from the loss of blood; then I shall continue."

While Kirana allowed Rann to rest, she flew through her books to find anything regarding magical markings, no matter how obscure.

OCC: Imagine the awkwardness of Satyana chancing on Rann and Kirana during their "study session."

[minque]

Satyana

"Ahhhrrrggghhh...Rannie! Watch it! I....ehhh..I have something I got to show you now, even though I never intended to" She cried as she noticed Kirana and Rann studying the tattoo

She approached, slowly unbuttoning her blouse....

A tattoo was visible, going from her left breast over to the right...a strange pattern and a color that seemed to be glowing.

"This is our heritage, dear brother"

She sighed and looked at him sternly....

"Nobody knows the real power of this....yet that is.."

[Dantrag]

Rann

Rann was so surprised he didn't even think about the awkwardness of the fact that his sister was showing her breasts to half the world.

"I thought it came from my father's line, not my mother's." he admitted. The idea that his power was a mixture of two bloodlines and not merely that of his father's interested him more than a little.

And I always thought that purple eyes were the only thing I got from her.

"What's that?" he asked, pointing to a sketch in Kirana's book. It was obvious that he was in great anticipation of finding out more.

The Silhouette

The Silhouette slaughtered the crazed spore-inhaling snake-men around him, before they could harm him or even each other. The Silhouette didn't think Ian to be a problem; mainly an annoyance.

Flies are annoyances too. I kill them. he thought, ordering a few score of snake men to patrol the outer rim of the massive army for any more such annoyances. One vampire could continue throwing spores; it would barely make a difference.

The Silhouette remounted his tiger and made his way to the front of the army once more, the Imperial City getting closer with each step.

[jack cloudy]

Green-Root.

Green-Root watched Rann run off, followed by Flogir.
He shrugged and lied down on the ground. Half-covered by the bushes, he was practically invisible.
,,Let them rush into trouble headfirst. I'm going to take it easy."


Flint Ironwood.

Flint was decidedly not pleased with his new companions. While they kept up a civilized front, behind his back they were all whispering about the 'assassin.' He might be old, but his hearing was still pretty much perfect.
,,Ah well, at least we're not too slow. These roads are a brilliant invention. Not as fast as jumping, but faster than trudging through the wilderniss."

He looked at a signpost they passed.
Imperial City 12 km.

[Lord Revan]

Issac

Having been close behind Satyana as she'd approached Rann and Kirana, he had noticed what she was doing. Issac averted his gaze immediately, his cheeks burning red. Although he paid attention to what they were discussing, he could not bring himself to get too involved with the matter.

Kirana

While being quite surprised, Kirana simply raised an eyebrow and allowed for an amused smile. Mostly it was due to Issac's embarrased reaction, but she returned to the matter at hand. "Well, to make sure everyone is on the same page, it would seem that these markings are of arcane origin. They react to magic by absorbing it even in its most crude forms."

Kirana looked thoughtfully for a moment, "These tatoos seem similar to those Aldmer settlers wore during their migration to Morrowind. Hmm..." She flipped through one of her larger tomes and stopped at a particular page.

"From the few records that exist of that time, let it be noted that they are often filled with biassed nonsense, they look to be related to the markings that were commonly used by factions in Atmora. If this is right then different factions used varying marks to tell one another apart and embue themselves with certain magical affects that were necessary in their day and age."

She shut the book and gazed back at Rann and Satyana, and the more distant Issac. "If I had to guess, the act of aborbing raw magic that is not completely in sync with your own puts a great strain on your body. This absorbtion is obviously much more crude than contemporary methods."

Kirana finished, "Attempting to find a way to avoid the physical and mental exhaustion side-effect will take time. Time that might be better focussed on more immediate issues......." She added, "Unless you're both willing to sit out the war until we find something solid."

Mannimarco

"Good, you showed up. Excellent. We move to find certain people that can unlock mysteries of the empire. My necromancers are herding the army from Vvardenfell this way, and my scouts estimate that the armies will clash, lets say in a few days. There will be much for me to do, and we need to hurry and find these people."

Patholos

"What do these people look like, when and where were they born, male or female, there are too many variables...."

[minque]

Rann

Rann was so surprised he didn't even think about the awkwardness of the fact that his sister was showing her breasts to half the world.

And I always thought that purple eyes were the only thing I got from her.

"What's that?" he asked, pointing to a sketch in Kirana's book. It was obvious that he was in great anticipation of finding out more.

Satyana

"You may be right there anyhow!" Satyana replied "I...had this vision a few nights ago, that you and I are more than half-siblings, that our heritage is more complicated than we know!

Issac

Having been close behind Satyana as she'd approached Rann and Kirana, he had noticed what she was doing. Issac averted his gaze immediately, his cheeks burning red. Although he paid attention to what they were discussing, he could not bring himself to get too involved with the matter.

Satyana

"But I am not really sure of anything so far, and I hope that Kirana can enlighten us even more...at the appropriate time! Now we must focus on what lies before us....I wonder where Serene is...did she really go away?"


Serene, heading back home....she thinks!

Yes she was lost. She had no idea where she was, other than in the wrong place. She grunted to herself, pretty annoyed that she had walked thinking about a lot of different things and then of course she had gone the wrong way. What she noticed in front of her was a mountain she didn´t recognize...but there was a dark spot at the side...was it a cave of some sort?

She sighed and approached it...with a strange feeling of familiarity ...could it be ???



OOC: I let Serene end up meeting Brianna and her gang.....just by coincidence! OK?

[Dantrag]

OOC: That doesn't really make sense. Both Serene and the group (Bree, Rahvin, Sadril) are leaving the Cyrodiil area, meaning that Serene would have to catch up to them, not just chance a meeting.

Rann

"I don't think our heritage could be any more complicated. There's already three twins with only one parent in common. To say there's more is improbable, to say the least. I'd just say that our mother has some secret too."

It would be impossible on many levels for them to be more than half-siblings. Especially since she had no dunmer features, and he had no nordic features.

Hell, most people can't even see the imperial in me.

"What do you think, Issac?" he asked, noticing him standing nearby, "And don't just agree with her."

[Lord Revan]

Issac

When Rann asked him about the matter all he could do was shrug helplessly. As it was Issac didn't know as much about their heritage as they did. I don't even know my own heritage that well..... "Well, huh, I guess that only your mother could identify all this for us." She did sleep with those men....

"Since no one who knows for certain is present, I don't see how we could find out anything that you two don't already know." Issac couldn't help be feel absolutely useless, it seemed like both Ian and Serene had left and weren't coming back anytime soon. With them went a lot of insight in his opinion.

[Priest of Sithis]

Mannimarco

"They are heirs, they unlock the secrets I seek!" Mannimarco stood up and shook his fists. "With the heirs, I could unlock the secrets of Reman Cyrodill and the rest of the Empire. And this must be done quickly for there is another that may seize control before we can." Mannimarco stared at Patholos and waited for a reply.

Patholos

"I still need more information, we will return after I have talked with the Sensei."

[minque]

OOC: That doesn't really make sense. Both Serene and the group (Bree, Rahvin, Sadril) are leaving the Cyrodiil area, meaning that Serene would have to catch up to them, not just chance a meeting.

"What do you think, Issac?" he asked, noticing him standing nearby, "And don't just agree with her."

OOC: Ok...fine with me! Then she won´t meet them! Oh and no no Rann and Satyana are half-siblings but Brianna has dunmerii blood! And maybe some other weird liquid running in her veins....

Issac

When Rann asked him about the matter all he could do was shrug helplessly. As it was Issac didn't know as much about their heritage as they did. I don't even know my own heritage that well..... "Well, huh, I guess that only your mother could identify all this for us." She did sleep with those men....

Issac couldn't help be feel absolutely useless, it seemed like both Ian and Serene had left and weren't coming back anytime soon. With them went a lot of insight in his opinion.

Satyana


She frowned....why do brothers always have to be like that!? She nodded at Issac, of course their mother might be able to tell them all about it..the problem was that she was gone...or at least nobody knows where she might be, so no help from that direction.

"Issac....I would very much like to be alone with you....I...I need to..ehh talk to you"

Talk? who am I fooling? I want to do far more than that...far more.But I must not scare him, he´s such a kind shy young man and I love him so much

[jack cloudy]

Green-Root.

Green-Root got bored and looked over at Aerona.
,,So, what do you do for a living?" He asked. He wasn't interested at all but anything would be better than sleeping.

Flint Ironwood.

The leader of Chorrol's cavalry stopped.
,,The Imperial city." He said.
,,Thanks for pointing out the obvious." Flint thought and rolled his eyes.

The group rode into the abandoned city and took up refuge on the easter walls for the night. The horses could use the rest.

[Lord Revan]

OCC: Serene could find the Morrowind army though..... possibly with Athyn among the soldiers.

Issac

He wondered what "talk" implied, but Issac never stopped wanting to be with Satyana. It hadn't impaired his concentration, yet. Issac decided to play along as though nothing was implied other than a simple chat between close friends..... Yeah, right, everyone who has half a mind knows what's going on with us.

"Of course," He turned to Kirana and Rann. "It might be better not to wait for us to get back; just fill us in on whatever you two find out." I knew being in love in the middle of an armed conflict would be a pain, but there is almost never any time.... Issac strode a distance with Satyana, allowing for her to speak (or act) first.

Kirana

Nodded as she stared down at her tome's text, maintaining the illusion she didn't understand nor care about what was going on. When both lovers were a reasonable distance she asked Rann. "So, for how long has your half-sister been with my adoptive son?"

Kirana glanced up, her eyes partially obscurred by the rim of her hood.

OOC: Yeah! she could...ehh is Athyn enrolled in it? isn´t he too old? jeez...it would scare Serene to death if she finds her husband in an army! But why not?

Satyana

She took Issac´s hand while walking beside him. She didn´t know how to start, her entire body was aching with desire, but this wasn´t probably the best time for any...acts? Anyway she dragged hin a bit off the trail making sure they were not seen by the others. Then she folded her hands around his face and kissed him, the taste of him made her want him even more, she had to restrain herself....

"Issac" she whispered, "I love you so much, if we get out of this alive....will you come and live with me?" She felt that it wouldn´t be appropriate for her to propose marriage to him...that was his task! If he really loved her he maybe would do it...later.

She kissed him again....this time much deeper....her body was tight to his and she shivered ....

The world started spinning around, a thought ran through her brain..

We can´t....can we? Can we continue this or.....not?
