A mystery unleashed Playground 14 Options

Sel walked back to the mage's guildhall, to give Celia the sad news.

"Back to Ald'ruhn." he said to the guide.

He walked back to the Rat in the Pot.

"Celia," he began quietly. "He's...he's gone."

[MerGirl]

"Wh-wh-wh-wha?" Celia's heart jumped, and her eyes widened. Then, after awhile, her frown slowly transformed back into a smile. No, she could not believe it... "Surely, you must be joking! Do not do that, Sel!"

[Dantrag]

How could she smile when Arco was dead?

"Celia...I don't joke about death." he said solemnly. "I've seen too much of it."

[Wolfie]

Jonacin yawned and got out of bed. He looked down at Serene, who was still sleeping peacefully. He could barely remember life without her there to support him through everything. He put on some clothes, and wandered downstairs to see about some breakfast

Mage

Arcyakt, posing as Celia, slipped into the room after Jonacin had left.

He didn't even need the disguise, but it would help if Jonacin walked in.

He cast a spell on Serene, teleporting her to the prison in his castle...He then teleported himself back to his dwemer ruin.

[Wolfie]

Jonacin walked back up to the room, a plate of food in hand. When he went in, there was no sign of Serene. Normally who would have just assumed she had gotten up and gone out, but as there was only one way down from the room, and he had only been gone for a couple of minutes, he though that something else was afoot.

Celia's smiled stayed frozen in place as his words sunk in. Tears started streaming from her eyes as she whispered, "No, no, not silly Arco... No, this can't be! No, I refuse to believe it!" She hid her eyes with one layer of skirt. "No, no, no, no! Arco's strong, and... Serene will heal him, and this is all just a bad dream!"

[Dantrag]

Sel put his arm around her.

"It's alright- he's in a better place." he said, suddenly realizing those were the same words she had said to him at his family's graves.

"Come on," he said. "We'll get you a place to stay for the night."

[MerGirl]

Celia wiped her eyes, and then smiled. "Thank you... You know, you're right. She grinned and then giggled. "Maybe right now, he is happily wiping out nasty demons, wherever he is..."

She paused. "Er, I thought this place had beds, no?"

[Dantrag]

"No." he answered, glad Celia was at least a little cheered up. "We would have to go to the Ald Skar Inn for that - unless you want to go back to Balmora and stay with Shakur..."

[MerGirl]

"Oh, er. Tough decision... Everyone's split up...Well, let's look around here a bit in Ald-ruhn." She suggested. "Just for a little while, please? Maybe the others followed us here?" She smiled. "And if we can't find the others, I will go back to Balmora, and gather them up and keep them penned, like sheep!"

[Aki]

Balmora

Fenris stood in the Tribunal Temple of Balmora. He didn't like the Dunmeri religion, but he was here for a reason. He had to pay his respects, Arco had been a fine warrior, and deserved that much, even if he had been a bit anti-social. Or that Fenris had hardly known him.

Fenris sighed, before leaving the Temple.

"Well, Serene said she had friends in the Ald'ruhn Mage's Guild, but I didn't really look for her because I was rushing...We could check there first." he said, leading Celia out the door.

Niran just followed Sel and Celia around, his reaction to Arco's death was very subtle.

[Channler]

"Who am I... Why can't I remeber anything!" Falx cupped his hands over his face in a vain attempt to hide himself from his problems.
"Do you want to talk about it dear?" The elderly Selvia replied with as much compassion as she could muster, "Holding tragedy inside taints the soul young man.." She paused in looked up at the wooden crossbeams in the ceiling, "...so just let your thoughts flow, I will not try to judge, but I will try to help."

Falx dropped his scarred hands from his face and let the void of his mind soak up her words...

OOC: thought he went back to balmora??? :confused:

[gamer10]

(OOC: Now it's time for my statement: HUH?)

[Dantrag]

I thought you went with Sel to see arco, which would mean that Niran is still in balmora...

[gamer10]

(OOC: Actually, Niran just follows Sel and Celia around, because I'm not here to control him all the time. So just pretend he follows you guys from a distance. Oh and by the way, look at my signature and guess. )

[Dantrag]

OOC: Sel and Celia split up for awhile so there is no possible way you followed us
