Re: Xefr's Adventures: The grey meatbags

Myrsa and Rysannox both notice the roar from outside, but they
don't really seem to understand what was it and continue without
thinking much about it. No Psionic energy seems to have returned
to the room, or helmet either, as it has concentrated on Xefr
himself ..bearing both Cui and the Orb psionically within him.
The Empress after turning upon hearing the roar, continues
talking to Xefr.. "Heh, the Great Golden Sea makes her noises
again; Some say it is the spirits of the ancient desert folk!
..Anyway, I respect your choice, in fact I'm glad you came to
Shyr to ammend yourself drake, as you will be helping us ammend
our own sins as well. You have the mentality of a Saint -
accepting your own mistakes and ammending them is the first step
of Sainthood."
Rysannox adds quite happily.. "Like Saint Mo'Tze'Khan!"
-
Re'ni was thinking that perhaps she is mad, but as soon as the
materialised shard got out of the sanctuary and Re'Ni's eyes
sighted him ..she lost her balance and flopped her wings and
nearly fell off the sky, managing to regain some of her balance
she landed as badly as possible only a few meters from the
shard, ready to cry and overhelmed by powerful feelings she
didn't even notice what the shard said. Joy and confusion, fear
and hope revolved inside her mind.. {"Haha Whaa? When?
Y-You?...YOU ARE VALX LIKE SELF! HAHAhaha And you are real!"}
She jumps at the shard and hugs him with her wings and paws and
all of her might, resulting in both falling flat on the ground.

Xefr remains unsure, and sends out a small psionic ping to The
Shard, hoping he had noticed the shout as well.
The Drake then looked back to the Empress, "Thank you for
understanding. And while I have a very long way to go in order
to atone, your words do help. I dearly hope that I can live up
to your Saints, like Mo'Tze'Khan, and help you however I can.
Few things would make me happier." The Dragon then smiled, "Of
course, I cannot do these things alone, so I will be relying on
both of you to teach me the ways of your kind, so that my help
is actually helping, rather than another hurdle. Espically
considering that I am clueless in how to begin."
-
"Ack!" exclaimed the Shard as he fell. And on the ground, he
felt very strange, both the feeling of hitting the floor and the
proximity of the female. He didn't struggle very much, and
calmly began to pat Re'Ni on the back, sensing her fear and
confusion. After all, he was in just same condition earlier. He
stammered out some words as well, "Um... Yes, I'm real. I take
pride in that really. Calm down, please...? You're kinda
crushing me... And... Wait, what's your name?" The Shard had
also received Xefr's ping, and in response sent back another,
signaling that he was fine and that there was no danger. He
didn't mention the other dragon however, he wanted to learn more
first.

Myrsa makes a small clap and nods happily "Oh, this is a great
day! The reunion of the kin of Shyr and Paer. Rest assured that
you will have my full support and protection Lord Xefr! ..we
failed dragons once, we will not fail you again."
Rysannox stands skeptical, though his smile doesn't leave his
face "Hmmm, it will be hard at first ...but for our good luck,
House Valxaryen is ruling and Dragons are entangled within our
common Urvan culture, despite of religion; there are songs about
dragons, stories of dragons, dragon-plushies for children
..even our Empire's symbol is two dragons, ehm, bonding - I'd
feel weird if I was a Dragon myself about that ..but I guess
it's better than two dragons fighting, no? - Anyway, my point is
that dragons represent for many Ghashyr a nostalgia for the good
old times ...but there are those who still would feel
threatened by your existence, that is why we must talk to them
first." The middle-aged steward strokes his beard, trying to
find a solution.
Suddenly, Myrsa's eyes seem to have a sinister glimpse, yet not
necessarily evil "We will talk to the Church of Light first, yes
..we will go not however to the politics-dominated Great Mother
and her Holy Council, but to the monasteries! ..they would
understand." Both Ghashyr seem to agree with that idea and then
turn at Xefr..
-
Although fearing of hurting him in any way, Re'Ni is unsure if
she even wants to let the shard from her tight hug; For thousand
years she was alone, and told that she was the last of her
species.. ..she manages to utter a few words amidst sobbing and
laughing, while rolling to the side and releasing the shard.
{"Name is Re'Ni. Thought last Valx - too lonely ...but HAHAHA
wrong!"}
Re'Ni boops the shard's snoot {"Name? Come from stars? Shyr?
...Matter not much. But Nice to know"}

Xefr saw the sinister look, but didn't understand it. He simply
smiled and nodded. "Very well then. We go to a Light Monastery
first, starting small is generally a good idea when pursuing
ambitious goals. I guess I shall try and channel this nostalgia
as best I can, if it will help. But I must say that does sound
like a strange choice for a symbol. Though I suppose that once
you show the members of my kind back home that you are a great
empire, they will most likely appreciate it. Speaking of
which... There is still the matter of Heord. How and when do you
propose to tell my kind of all this? It may be best to get them
involved before too much goes forward."
-
The Shard stumbled to his feet. Looking back to Re'Ni, he
responded in an awkward tone, "Well, you certainly make
memorable greetings, Re'Ni. My name? I guess you can call me
Tec, most of my friends do... And I guess I did come from the
Stars, from the planet of Heord." His tone then picked up, and
continued with a little more confidence. "And you can rest
assured, you are not alone! There are lots of my kind out there!
Yet..."
The Shard's tone changed once more as the words registered more
properly in his head, becoming more somber and sympathetic. "I
really can't imagine how you felt... Totally alone... Never been
like that myself really... Any way I can help you?"

Myrsa seems rather awkward as Rysannox and Xefr discuss her
House's Arms, yet she doesn't seem to be insulted... "Heh, yes,
I guess the Seal of House Valxaryen might seem peculiar to a
dragon, but it symbolises the 'Bonding of the Fireborn' ..the
union of Dragon-souled Ghashyr and Dragons." She then changes
her tone, and adopts a smile full of glee "Anyway. I bestow upon
Lord Rysannox the duty to help you re-attach the broken link
between our two species ..there is no better Ghashyr for this
in the Empire, as my good friend and steward Rysannox is a lover
of the realm of history and culture ..and knows better than
most Lords the politics and current machinations of the Empire."
Rysannox bows as he bumps his fist on his chest.. "Thank you for
your kind words Unburnt One, Talmyr. I shall do my best and I
believe Lord Xefr will do the same." He turns to Xefr "Lupa is
not far from Shyr, and judging from your character I'm certain
you will like the Monasteries of Light there and the people
residing in them. We will leave whenever you wish."
-
As the shard explains his whereabouts, Re'Ni's expression is one
of awe; she never expected Dragons to exist anywhere other than
her homeplanet of Shyr. However once the shard finishes the
second part of his sentence, Re'Ni's eyes seem dark and rather
sad... "Tec cannot imagine feel. Even Re'Ni still cannot
describe feel.. ..countless days. overwhelming darkness and
fear. Fear is the mind-killer; No soul ..and idea of self being
last of Valx. Never see other Valx. Never have eggs. Never see
sky." a subtle smile appears on her face "..but Tec appeared
from stars in dream! Hope rejuvenated.. ...Re'Ni ask no help of
Tec. Just not leave Re'Ni." she hesitantly places her paw over
the shard's paw..

Xefr beamed, "Thank you, Myrsa. From what I have seen thus far,
he is very capable. I have no doubt his assistance will be
invaluable." He then turned to Rysannox, "Lupa sounds good. I
suppose that unless there is anything else either one of you
wish to ask of me, we could leave right now. If you'd like,
Rysannox, you can ride in my ship. It's right outside, and there
is plenty of space aboard, as well as documents detailing my
home nation and its inhabitants, including my kind. But either
way, I still need to grab the Shard, he's likely quite annoyed
at how long I've probably spent down here."
-
If Tec's draconic body could have blushed, he would have. He
didn't stop Re'Ni's paw, and turned over his own to have the
palm facing upwards. He responded, still somewhat awkwardly,
"Well, you're right. I can't imagine how that felt... Yet I have
felt my own fair share of fear. I know what it can do the mind
if it has control. I don't know how you showed up in my
dreams... It kinda freaked me out really. But... I suppose I
really don't know what to say. The important thing is Re'Ni,
that I want to help you. What you've experienced... Well, that's
something I wouldn't wish upon anybody, and I don't wish to let
it continue..."
The Shard's own eyes then darkened, and with a gulp he
continued, "Yet I can't stay here, on Shyr I mean. I have duties
elsewhere, and I can't leave my family in the dark. But maybe...
there is another way... Re'Ni, if what you say is true... then
you haven't had a real home for quite some time. But what would
you say... if I could give one to you? And at the same time
prove that you are not alone in the galaxy... Could you come
with me?" Tec was quite nervous now, and the fragile hope taking
hold of his eyes was reflected across his entire being.

As the two Ghashyr and Xefr discuss, one can see for a split of
a second one of the dragons in the painting smiling and winking
at him.
Rysannox, evidently willing to start the journey, smiles at the
black drake "I will come along in your spaceship ..I always
wondered how dragons would have their spaceships. ..We will also
have to discuss how we shall approach the monks once we get to
the ship. To Lupa!"
The Ghashyr empress, satisfied with the outcome of this
'reunion' pats the dragon's right wing.. "Good luck Xefr! For
all that is good I hope you'll succeed."
-
Being completely asocial and emotionally overhelmed realising
she had a dragon next to her, she hesitated and nearly froze the
moment the shard turned his paw facing hers and made his
proposal - though she was more happy than she could ever be that
he did both. ..she smiled and turned her head downwards, she
looked at her and Tec's paw and exhaled a little bit of hot air
from her nostrils on them.. ..her brown eyes then turned facing
the shard's yellow {"This more than Re'Ni would ever ask. Tec is
right, like Ant; Shyr truly not home anymore, Ant-planet only
replacement too - Home is where mind, heart and wing be; About
time true home appeared for Re'Ni! ...Re'Ni will come with Tec"}
She then crawls closer to the shard and places her head over his
shoulder.

Xefr looks to the Empress, "Thank you, Myrsa. Though I do hope
you won't remain here alone too long. This place could still
contain dangers. Regardless, I wish you a good day, Talmyr." The
Drake then walks into the elevator, and looks to Rysannox, "Glad
to hear it. Now let's get going, time waits for nobody." He then
prepared to return to the main room, and grab the Shard. Their
next destination was Lupa, and he had to have a little talk with
the rest of the Shards, though perhaps he could let Cui do it.
They all needed to be introduced after all.
-
Tec practically froze as Re'Ni moved, though he was ecstatic
that she accepted his offer. He had no idea what he was doing,
and was completely unsure on how to continue, but frankly he
didn't care about that right now. Using his free hand, he pulled
Re'Ni into a hug. He remained silent for a moment, but then
finally got a few words out, "Re'Ni... I promise to give you
that true home. I will not fail you in that. Though you'll have
to tell me about these Ants sometime, they seem like interesting
folks. But... not right now..." The Shard then went silent, as
he took in everything that had happened today. The main worry on
his mind however, was not the ghosts or phantoms he had feared
earlier, but it was how he was going to tell Essentials about
the new passenger.

Myrsa laughs a bit and nods "Don't worry Lord Xefr, I don't
intent on staying in this place long ...in fact there are urgent
matters demanding my attention back in Datha."
All find themselves upstairs and can notice Erixen sleeping by a
small campfire, while right outside of the sanctuary two large
dragon-figures can be seen hugging.
As they come near the two dragons Myrsa gasps and stands in
shock, but before saying anything she remembers other Ghashyr
are present and she must protect her House's ancient secret
whatever the cost...
-
A little before the group got outside..
Re'Ni remains silent for a few seconds, for the first time
feeling the embrace and company of another dragon after thousand
years that she was taken from her parents. She just relaxes and
nuzzles her head tenderly against Tec {"This means much to
Re'Ni. Wish means as much to Tec."} She then bites Tec's neck
softly, both as a sign of affection, as well as a small warning.
She felt a tad bit bad about mistrusting the drake's good
intentions, but she could not help it; thousand of years she was
lied upon and mistreated to be able to trust even one of her
kind.

Once Xefr got close enough to get a good look at what was going
on outside, he stopped and did the draconic equivalent of
raising an eyebrow. He looked to Tec, and spoke in a manner to
gain attention, "Tech... Care to tell me who is this? I don't
recognize them, and why you two are hugging for that matter?"
The Shard jumped back in surprise once the other dragon spoke.
Quickly turning back, he regained his composure, and hastily put
out an explanation, "Erhm, hey Ess! This is Re'Ni... She happens
to be the last Valx, and... Um... The hugging was because she is
simply very happy to know she isn't the only dragon around these
days, and I wanted to help comfort her. Isn't that what we
do...?"
The nervous explanation didn't seem to satisfy Xefr, and his
yellow eyes instead turned to Re'Ni. He simply looked her over,
and then settled staring into her eyes, seeming to want her to
clarify the situation instead.
