ENDLESS JOURNEYS (O/A)

[Nova Blancke]

Nova glanced sideways. Sensing magic or mana was a skill that he kept to himself. At least for now. Later on Trinity or those kids might need it.

"The prophecies. People tend to believe in those. He isn't any different. Long ago a prophecy was made.In a world where there are 10 realms the prophecy stated that one will fall and darkness will fill the lands.
Three years after that a holy light will shatter it to pieces. '" Nova stated.

"Like I told Trinity that is too vague of a prophecy but it would explain certain events. The Holy light refers to Trinity while the Darkness well...could refer to the Necromancer but I believe there might be something behind him. Call it a hunch. I don't see why he tries though. A prophecy is a viewing of the future. Something that is set. Something that will happen one way or another.If it dictates that the Light wins then that is what will happen."

Trinity sighed and folded her arms, "Yeah.... that pretty much covers it..." She looked around for Kerana and Alec. "Where are those kids? You'd think the youngest of the bunch would be ready first."  

[Kittyusha]

Alejandro Inazuma

Ale nodded as Nova explained what he knew about the situation. "I have to admit, I've never heard of that prophecy before... Then again, I don't think any of my kind would have really..." He replied just before Trinity spoke up, startling him slightly. "Oh! Damn, how did you get here so--- Oh yeah, that shadow power of yours." He corrected himself as he sighed. He looked at the stairs. "You'ed think that they would be the first ones ready seeing as how energetic they are? He asked.  

[Rikki Tikki Travi]

Alec looked down at himself. He had been wearing the same clothes for nearly two days now. Without a doubt he could use a change following a bath. This came second to keeping Kerana safe. Right now he didn't want her out of eyesight.

"I suppose so. I can change at the next rest stop. We need to get moving before what's her name comes back."

The necromancer had to fight slapping his forehead with the palm of his hand. After taking a moment to calm himself he said, "That's not exactly what I meant. With her party as formidable as it is now, a frontal assault would be futile. Any strike must be made close, and it must be completely unexpected. I will rephrase my question. What is the best way to get close to her?"  

[Nova Blancke]

"I am not sure if they are truly accustomed to traveling on a tight schedule " Nova replied. "Best order some breakfast while we wait." Nova went with an easy breakfast. It may be a little greasy for his tastes but he would need his strength. They all would. His and their own.  

[Nova Blancke]

"Breakfast is the most important meal of the day Kerana. You have got to have something in your stomach before being able to continue for the rest of the day. Since Shara and the Necromancer are out there, we might not get a decent meal in a while. All the more reason to dig in now."  

[Rikki Tikki Travi]

Alec was surprised to be taken by the hand and led down to the table. Oh yes, he was in trouble. Kerana was a very honest and eager person, and Alec wasn't sure if she would be able to control these types of impulses around people that may take exception to that sort of behavior.

His worries melted away at the mention of food. It felt like days since he had eaten. "I could definitely use a good meal. All that stuff last night has me famished."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The necromancer thought on this information. A metaphorical candle ignited in his head as an idea came to him. His smile grew wicked and wide. The visage's eyes showed this.

"Shara, gather what resources you need and return to this location when the sun is at it's highest. You will be meeting with another of my agents. He will have your instructions then. Your suggestion will be...entertaining to see brought to fruition. Well done."  

[Nova Blancke]

"Yes so eat up while you can. I plan to be on the move afterwards." Nova said as he started to eat. But continued to speak when he could

"We will head towards Alejandro's hometown to rest and stock up on supplies. The Well should be within our reach when we get there. When we have secured the Well, though I haven't figured out yet how to do that, I would like to go to the Greyfall vulcano. The Dragon-kin live there and I believe their elder has the information we need on the other Wells." Nova explained their current plan." Though it's also nice to see my wife and child again." He softly added.  

[Nova Blancke]

Nova smiled at her question. Most likely because it brought up memories of his daughter." I don't mind. She is currently 5 if I am not mistaken. She takes after her mother mostly. Big red eyes as if she is trying to fit the entire world in her gaze, long crimson hair like her mother, cute little horns although I am sure those have already grown a bit. Same goes for her tail I suppose. It has been a year since I last saw her. Ruby....a fitting name for her. She can be just as wild as her mother but that's only to be expected from their kind. But she mostly takes after me when it comes to her usual behavior." Nova spoke warmly about her. Until he seemed to recall he was just ranting about her." I seemed to have lost myself in there just now"  

[Rikki Tikki Travi]

Alec paused in the middle of eating his sausage. He had visions of a little demon tugging at the apron of a much taller demon. Realizing how foolish such a notion was, he quickly shook the notion. His curiosity, however, was not so easily shaken.

"Ummm, what race is your wife?"  

[Nova Blancke]

"A demon" Nova joked and chuckled over it." No, she can be like one though. She is of the Dragon-kin and it did take me a while to get used to that. Their rules regarding marriage are....somewhat unique. You see, the women always try to dominate the men and the only way to have them back off is by force.Since they aren't known for romance their idea of proposing consists of announcing that they claim your heart and then attack you. You must defeat the other person or at least show your strength without holding back. However this needs to be in front of an audience of at least 20 people. Their dragon blood makes them very strong and very resilient to magic. So a non-Dragon-kin will have to give it everything he's got to even have a chance." Nova explained. Alec may not have asked but he was on the subject already plus he liked to explain.

"Now they don't just randomly pick anyone, they have to fit certain criteria of which all differ from person to person. First they say that they will claim you and when they give you a gift and you accept, you gave them the right to marry you. Afterwards it's up to them to decide when they will propose to you." Nova sighed. " I didn't know those rules when I got there. I had little say in the matter"
