Re: Xefr's Adventures: The grey meatbags

The captain nods in agreement, with a slightly ambitious
gleampse in his eyes worthy of a true explorer.. "Perhaps ...all
of it could be true! And while old Saint Dragons were not
considered divine back then, they were venerated as Gods later.
I wouldn't be surprised if there is a hidden crypt somewhere in
here even!" Rysannox interrupts him and talks to Xefr "That
would be a magnificent discovery ..but wouldn't thousands of
generations already found such relics?"
Back in the crypt...
In the elevator he could see the illuminating paw from before,
perhaps if he pressed it, he could(he can) make it move back up.
Suddenly he felt a slight chill behind him, as if someone was
standing behind him watching, suddenly mixed ghostly voices
could be heard in the darkness "She can't" - "The only way" -
"No, she's very young" - "She's the last" as if from a memory..

Xefr tilts his head to the side a bit, with an uncertain look in
his eyes. His voice is contemplative, "I'm not so sure about
that, considering what the captain said. I believe that since
these artifacts were hidden because they were dangerous, they
would be hidden well. And since that Church censored the
knowledge of the Darkness, it's unlikely the exact method for
finding them would still be known. Only those Avalvaxes fellows
and any like them could really know, and I doubt the Guardians
would reveal that kind of information easily. Or perhaps, they
don't know, but may be some of the only ones who can find the
artifacts, if they are protected by any sort of strange
mechanism. That's all I can think of really, and it's still
possible that these artifacts simply do not exist."
--
Turning around in panic at the voices and image, the Shard
forgot about escape and simply yelled out into the tomb, scared
and confused. "Alright, you damnable phantoms! Who is that!?
What do you want from me?! What is going on!?" In his panic, the
Shard had completely dematerialized, and his fully energetic
form shivered as it waited for a response.

The captain laughs a bit.. "Hehehe! My wife Edvhyna loves me,
but her kin that would know of such things think of me as the
infidel that stole their flower ...besides, thousands of years
have passed ever since the Avalvalxes were temple guardians;
Edvhy's uncle only mentioned it as some form of secret ancient
legend of the family."
Rysannox strokes his beard, looking skeptical while trying to
think .. "Also, perhaps such artifacts were not supposed to be
found ..probably so many generations of priests deemed the
world not ready for them to be found. I doubt they were wrong,
and I doubt they would be wrong now, or ever ..but I will
organise some search parties in the few remaining ancient
fire-temples and sanctuaries like this one. Even if they don't
find the artifacts, they could at least clean up such places and
revitalise them."
--
After the poor shard panicked, absolute silence overwhelmed the
dark room; no voices, no visions, nothing. For a few seconds not
even the smallest breeze could be heard.
Suddenly in the pitch-black veil of darkness two yellow
reptilian eyes opened from affar, looking directly at the
shard... "I. AM. THE PASSHT.." The shard's eyes blackened and
fast visions of a world in flames appeared in his mind, then
small and large winged figures battling each other in the center
of the universe. A tremendous explosion and then absolute
darkness.
The shard regains his vision, the eyes disappear and the small
breeze can be heard again.

Xefr sighs, "Well, that's a shame. I suppose it has been quite
some time, so I shouldn't have expected anything. But I do hope
you hear more eventually, I find this subject quite interesting.
And that is probably the best course of action. Better to know
for certain, than to let it dwell in the back of our minds. If
these artifacts are as dangerous as they sound, it's better they
do not fall into the hands of reckless explorers who stumble
upon them by accident or those with clear, devious intent.
Besides, that cleaning up does sound nice. It's important to
respect the past whenever possible."
--
Upon regaining his vision, the Shard was certain of his next
course of action; panic and get as far from this "past" as
possible within the next few minutes. He leaped back onto the
elevator and mashed the illumination with his materialized paw
repeatedly, his eyes focused on it and determined to not look
back into the dark room. He wanted out, damn it!

Rysannox bows while smiling "Wise words, Xefr my friend! The
past should always be respected, for it is part of what makes us
what we are now. It is a petty though that you will leave ..you
could stay here; with your enthusiasm and ideals you would make
a fine archeologist if you studied the ancient cultures a bit.."
The captain, slightly more down-to-earth than his liege, rolls
his eyes and just nods.
--
The mechanism seemed to take its time after all those years of
neglect. The voices started being heard again in the shard's
head, as if two childish dragons wanted to play with him {{why
leave so soon?}} *ghostly giggles* {{we can have FUN!
hahahAHAHA}} ...a black dragon materialised right behind him,
his giant head about to bite the shard, when suddenly the
elevators doors closed and it started rising up, leaving him on
the main floor of the temple where Xefr and Rysannox were.
(I really, really feel sorry for that poor shard)

Xefr grinned, though his voice hinted regret, "Ah, I would like
to stay as well, your culture is certainly quite interesting.
And I'm sure that after spending some time here, I could learn
much. But alas, my purpose lies beyond here, and I must pursue
it, as unrealistic as it may be. Now then..." The Black Dragon
was then cut off by the sound of running and yelling.
--
The Shard jumped right out of the elevator as soon it stopped
moving. He then just ran, trying to put as much distance between
himself and that chamber as possible. As he did this, he just
screamed in terror. He ran straight back into the main room,
ramming into Xefr as he went. With that, it seemed that he
finally thought himself safe, and started bashing his tail
against the ground in rage. His voice rang out, aimed at nobody
in particular, "Every single time! Every single ghost,
apparition, and phantom always finds me!! Why!?! Why do they
always pick on me!? Is it because of my scales? Because I'm not
good enough!? I never asked for any of this!" The material Black
Dragon merely looked on in his own state of panic, unsure of
what to do.
(It was a really bad coincidence really. The Tech Shard got his
name because he really only knows how to cope with technology,
and he has the weakest Psionic power of all the Xefr Shards.
This is also the area from which his set of traumatic memories
arises.)

Both Rysannox and Erixen seem confused and uncertain of what
happened. Lord Rysannox approached the shard and he tried
talking to him in a soft voice to calm him down a bit.. "You're
safe here. Whatever you saw was probably mind tricks ...What do
you mean ghosts?" he then turns to Xefr "He seems to be in
shock.."
Erixen approaches the shard as well "Just like the warrior guy..
seems Shyr isn't good for dragon shards" he tries to pat the
shard, unaware of the fact that he isn't materialised.

Xefr regained his composure, "Yes... It does seem that way. I'm
not sure what could have done that however..." The Black
Dragon's head then turned to look on the Shard, eyes filled with
concern, "Don't worry Tech, you're safe. Just tell us what you
saw... Then we can send you back to the ship and everything will
be fine... Put yourself back together, like you always do, and
tell us."
The Shard had calmed down a bit, and while Erixen's pat phased
straight through him it still seemed to help comfort him. He was
still quivering, but he had stopped smashing the floor by now.
Then, he regained his confidence, stopped shivering, and spoke
up. "Al... Alright... I was exploring, and I found some...
panel? I don't know, there was a paw, I touched it and it did
some stuff... Like it showed this writing..." Using the copied
version on his arm, he projected a almost holographic version of
the clawmark writing onto a nearby wall. "And then, it was an
elevator... Before I knew it, I was down in a dark room, filled
with a paintings and a helmet made of bones... I don't want to
talk about it, but there was also this art..." With that, he
also projected a copy of the Artwork concerning the 6 stars and
the dragons. He then stopped speaking, going back to quivering
at the thought of what happened next. "Bloody Visions... Spirits
telling me what to do... Why... Me...?"
Xefr then began to pat the Shard's back, somehow making contact,
"No more worries, Shard. We have enough of that already... The
spirits won't be giving you any more orders. They'll have to go
through me first."

Erixen brought his sword out and walked towards were the shard
came from to see if anything was still there, finding nothing,
but still standing guard "It's clear Lord Shard, you may relax,
I'll stand guard!".
Rysannox, already perplexed by the new information, stood in
shock as soon as the shard spoke of the "Bone Helmet" and showed
him the image of the "Six Dragonstars". He gulped and in a shaky
voice he tried to explain what was just revealed to him.. "What
you saw, the place in which you have been ...is greater than
any dark relic. Greater than anything discovered so far. You
stood before the mythic "Great Recall" and the "Helm of Memory"
...I've only heard of it as a child in Urvan folklore songs. It
is as if you just found Ayra's wings and Bow ..amazing, just..
unbelievable." He then noticed the clawmarks and looked at Xefr
in confusion.. "These clawmarks are not standard clawmark
writing.. ..no, they're older than the Gardax Dynasty, older
even than the Saint that this sanctuary was build for.. ..I can
recognise a few old Draconic words; 'ATZ' means 'time' ..hmmm,
yes.. 'RATI' means 'am' though it could mean 'were' as well..
'JOQHAN' it means 'lived' and 'KHA' must mean 'who'" he looks at
the shar then back at Xefr "...perhaps a Dragon could be more
successful. This is unbelievable ...madness!"
Xefr after seeing the clawmarks can hear a very soft dragon's
voice, softer than a feather touching velvet, ringing once
inside his head.. "kha rati qoal tlass atz qoal joqhan?"

The Shard seemed reassured by Erixen's actions, and stopped
quivering. However, he remained silent, thinking more on what
happened. In particular, he placed his thoughts on the image of
the female dragon, trying to figure out what it meant.
Xefr walked closer to the images, looking carefully at them.
"Hm, this star in particular is somewhat close to Heord...
Strange." Xefr pointed a claw at the star in question, and then
turned back to Rysannox. "Are you saying we found ancient
artifacts of your draconian religion? Interesting... This begs
the question, if the shard was able to find these, does that
mean more is hidden here?" The Dragon pauses for a second, then
continues in a more curious voice, "I wonder... Maybe if I look
at this text as I would ancient Heord writing..." Xefr then
looked down the writing, trying to use his knowledge of ancient
Heordal transcript to see if he could make any sense of it
himself.
Xefr was somewhat confused by the voice, but attempted to use
psionics to respond, "I'm afraid that I cannot fully understand
you, but my name is Xefr. If you can, I would like help in
understanding both you and this writing."
