Re: Xefr's Adventures: The grey meatbags

---------------------------------------------------------
Rysannox seems joyful to the bone, and he makes a slight bow
with his head to the big black drake "This is wonderful! I see a
bright future between our lands, and you are always welcome to
suggest anything that crosses your mind ...especially regarding
the relations of our species." He then grasps the opportunity to
ask Xefr soemthing that had been on his mind quite a while now..
"But, before you do, I have something to ask of you Xefr
...you're kind, soft-spoken and friendly. Would it be too much
to ask of you Xefr, when the time comes, to be the one that the
Ghashyr masses meet first? We will of course inform the people
about the fact that you are not related to the old Dragons and
that it just so happens -as with Ghashyroids, like humans- that
dragons developed elsewhere as well."
As he pressed the second paw the giant tiles beneath him started
to descent fast inside a clear cut rectangle, while new tiles
immediately closed the entrance on the top ..the only light
came from the various symbols on his left-and right. The
'elevator' suddenly stops; infront of him there is a big room
(big for a dragon), the tiles of the room compose a giant
painting depicting two dragons, a male and female, holding a
black egg - on the egg's tile there is a dragon size helmet,
made from dragon-bones ...the walls of the room have white
dragons in a snow environment on the left, red dragons in a
volcanic environment on the right, and black dragons in space in
the front wall.

Xefr seems surprised at first, and then closes his eyes. After a
moment of thought, his yellow eyes open once more. His voice is
fairly neutral, though there is a hint of joy, "Well, I thank
you for the compliments. And... I suppose that when the time
comes and I am available, I can be the one to meet your people.
If my own people agree that is, but I doubt they will mind too
much. It would be an honor, and I simply hope I will not
disappoint. Let's hope that understanding will bloom, and our
peoples can both get along. I'm certain both of our leaders will
agree."
The Shard was stunned at first, as he was not expecting the
sudden trip. But then, he took in his surroundings, and
curiosity took over. He stepped forward, and picked up the bone
helmet with his two paws. He then materialized the top of his
head, and held the helmet over. But before put it on, he moved
it in front of his eyes so he could look more closely at it, and
even glanced behind him to see if there any more pictures on the
back-wall.

Rysannox would squee if his stature allowed him to do so,
instead he extends his hand towards the old dragon.. "From your
mouth to Azgor Tal's ear, Xefr! And I'm sure you will not
dissapoint. ...to a peaceful coexistence!" Captain Erixen seems
rather apathetic on the other hand, as he drinks some liquid
from his military flask.
As the shard touches the helmet a ghostly voice rings in his
mind {{"K'tzah Xa'Comal Sshir?"}} and a strong headache soon
follows. The helmet seems to be enchanted with some form of
azure energy from the inside ...a mechanism perhaps from the
ancient days.
As he turns back to view the back-wall he can see one of the
most macabre and gory depictions of art on Shyr; Dragons maiming
other dragons, Ghashyr ripping other Ghashyrs' body-parts,
Dragons devouring Ghashyr and Ghashyr eating live dragons like
pack animals. Skeletons and devoured corpses of both species.
All covered in flames while a dark half-Ghashyr and half-dragon
figure standing in distance watching with four dark guardians,
two dragons and two Ghashyr of each sex
...another Clawmark writing, similar to the one before appears
above the wall-painting.
The voice asks again {{"K'tzah Xa'Comal Sshir?"}} and an even
more painful headache follows.

Xefr seems a bit confused at first by the Ghashyr's actions, but
then snaps back to reality and extends a claw for Rysannox to
shake. When he does, Xefr responds, "To a peaceful coexistence!"
The Black Dragon has a beaming smile on his face now, but he
notices Erixen in the corner of his eye, somewhat perplexed by
his seeming apathy.
Unfortunately, the Shard couldn't appreciate the art behind him
due to the headache, which consumed his attention. He hastily
put the helmet back down and took a step back. Then, he became
angry. Overcoming his pain, he targets the bone helmet with his
telepathy. His voice is furious, but strained due to the
headache, "H... Hey! Stop that you pile of old bones! It
hurts... I don't understand what you're saying, but I haven't
done anything to you yet!"

Erixen notices the two happy negotiators shaking hand-claw and
paw, Rysannox bearing the most satisfied smile he could bear.
The captain, being interested to learn what happened he closes
up to them, bowing his head a little to Rysannox.. "Ehm, have
you my Lords finished talking about the frescos? Pardon me, but
I see you both seem glad ..so if you want, we could share this
fine Achjaal!"
Rysannox sighed and responded calmly, yet in a dissapointed
tone, to his captain "Lord Erixen, I'd expect an explorer like
you would show more interest when a living-breathing Dragon
stand only a few meters away.. ..nevertheless, it seems like a
good idea, but I shall have only a little; I'm not that much of
a drinker." ..he turns to Xefr, in amore respectful tone "Shall
we drink an unch to celebrate this outcome?"
-
As the shard uses his telepathic powers. His eyes black out and
a blurry dragon figure made of stardust, fire and ice appears in
the darkness, his voice is near-deafening.. {{"KHA? ATZ QO'SS?
RAGA'SSAN!"}} the poor shard then regains his vision, the helmet
remains on the ground, as if he never touched it.

Xefr's tone is reluctant, "Hm, I'm not a drinker myself, but I
suppose that if you insist I can have a bit. Not too much
though, my mind must remain clear. Then again, I doubt you have
enough of this Achjaal on-hand to intoxicate a Dragon, because
that would be a cause for worry... But enough of that, I suppose
it's time we all celebrated." The Dragon looks around a bit, and
suddenly seems both confused and worried. "Wait, where has the
technology Shard gotten off to?"
--
After regaining his eyesight, he stood stunned for a few
seconds. But then, the Shard's eyes light up in fury, and the
headaches didn't seem to matter anymore. He had to restrain
himself from smashing the helmet of bones to bits, and instead
just walked around it, mumbling. "Damn spirits, always acting
like this... Never giving a me a break..." Now ignoring the
hated helmet, he searched for any other notable features in the
large room.

Rysannox was about to sip some Achjaal from the flask when Xefr
asked about his shard "Your shard? I haven't seen your friend,
good Xefr. I'm sure he is in no danger. There's only old rocks
and ancient art in this place ...and lots of sand!"
Erixen lights what seems to be shredded leaves of a plant rolled
in a paper and inhales the smoke "Hmmm *cough-cough* I wouldn't
be so sure my Lord. There's so much about the ancient Fire
sanctuaries we don't know. The Church of Light erased a lot of
the mentions to darkness and its importance in the ancient fire
religion from our society."
Rysannox seems confused by his captain's knoweledge.. "And where
would you know that Lord Erixen?"
The captain extends his hands and adopts a satisfied smile "My
wife's folks are Avalvalxes, cousins to the Valxaryens
...they're Draconians."
The room doesn't appear to bear anything other than the artwork
in the walls and the helmet. Someone could perhaps notice how
well-cut the stonework is, as if cut by laser, completely unlike
the rest of the temple ..it also seems that the stones of the
wall depicting the space dragons are floatin one cm from each
other ...held by some kind of force.
In the space background depicting the dragons one can notice six
stars standing out ...one is close to where Shyr is, the
other seems to be peculiarly close to Heord.
In the center of the Galaxy stands a star bigger than all other
five, covered in flames - all five dragons seem to fly from
there to the rest of the stars.

Xefr's head turns to face Erixen. With his curious voice, he
speaks, "Really now? You must know some interesting things about
this place then, which makes me the only one here who knows
nothing. I welcome that, for such a thing has not happened in so
very long. Ignorance truly does carry a sense of bliss, but I
don't intend to stay that way." He closes his eyes, and lets out
a sigh of relief, "Thankfully, I can feel no disturbance, and
the Shard hasn't called out, so I doubt anything bad has
happened. Besides, he is no archaeologist, and your kind have
been around these parts for much longer. I'm certain that if
there was any sort of big discovery to be made, your own people
would have made it long ago... Now then, is there anymore you
can share with us captain? I'm interested in these Avalvalxes
fellows."
--
The Shard wasn't really sure, but he felt that he had made a big
discovery. The stars in particular interested him, especially
the one so close to his home-world. The similarities between
these Ghashyr Valxes and Golden Dragons were strange indeed, yet
this art somehow offered an explanation of sorts. He wondered,
"Is there some sort of connection here? And what about that star
in the center?" He shook his head a bit. Those were questions
for another time. His eyes flashed, and a mental copy of the art
was imprinted into his memories, so that he could project it
anywhere he pleased. The Shard then turned around, and with a
snort made another quick check of the room. He was anxious to
return to the Essentials shard, for he would be interested. And
maybe the Ghashyr too. Yet, that central, larger star was the
biggest thing on his mind. Perhaps... It held the answer. The
answer the entirety of Xefr had been searching for... If so, he
would finally get the recognition he deserved!

Erixen laughs and he adopts a humorous suggestive tone "Of
course... Heh, I was interested as well in Avalvaxes, but for
different reasons!" he then gets into a more serious mood and
continues, dedicated to the narration "My wife's uncle got
really drunk one night and he started talking about how the old
priests preached about the necessity of Darkness. But after the
Ascend of Light the Light Church erased all mentions to the
'Darkness' and portrayed it as demonic and evil, even forced the
priesthood to reform having the Light-Believers morals in mind
...it just so happened though that the High Priesthood never
abandoned the old dogmas and guess who the High Priesthood had
as temple guardians? ...the distant, minor relatives of House
Valxaryen; the Avalvalxes, my wife's kin! Anyway, my wife's
uncle then said something about the dark relics, which were
supposedly divine, older than Ghashyr and Valxes, and contained
unknown powers. No one really knew what their purpose was, but
some say they drove people mad and that they were hidden in
places of divinity." Erixen continues smoking while looking at
one of the the frescos depicting the brown Dragon Saint "To be
honest though, it sounds like a myth to me..."
--
As the shard looked upon the large star in the middle, it seemed
to him as if it drew him closer. For the split of a second a
young female black dragon appeared followed by Ghashyr, wearing
the helmet while screeching in agony in that very room. Ghosts
perhaps? This place certainly isn't normal.

Xefr's expression turns serious, and his tone mirrors that, "But
be careful, myths always are rooted in truth, for how else would
they form than from simple misinterpretations, or fact?" The
Black Drake then resumes his joyful demeanor, and his tone
returns to the normal calm, "Anyways, these artifacts intrigue
me. If they are real, then I would love to see one. Yet, I must
agree with you captain, they do sound somewhat out there. But,
are you trying to say that some of these dangerous, dark
artifacts may be hidden in this sanctuary somewhere? It would
make sense, as your priests out there mentioned something about
Dragon divinity, and that could connect to these dragon saints
of old... Regardless, I believe it best not to worry. The Shard
can handle himself, and he'll make sure to call for help if he
needs it. I have more experience than you may believe in
pacifying things of darkness."
--
The Shard jumped back at the phantom image. He did not do well
around ghosts, and that scene in particular disturbed him. That
was something he would not mention to the Essentials Shard, it
could bring back some... unwanted memories. With a final look of
contempt at the helmet on the floor, he walked back over to the
elevator-like area, and tried to see if he could make it go back
up. He needed to share his discoveries, because they made little
sense to him.
