You Must Show Respect – Log by Samiyah


Seraph has granted you the ability to see him when he is invis.

Seraph ftells, 'hello'.

Samiyah ftells, 'hello Sahib'.

Seraph ftells, ‘I spoke to DarkClaw last night'.

Samiyah ftells, 'what did she want, Sahib?'.

Seraph ftells, 'you don't need me there if you want to speak to her'.

Seraph ftells, 'about Jamilla'.

Samiyah ftells, '*frown*'.

Seraph ftells, 'she can explain it to you'.

Samiyah ftells, 'what does she want with my sister? hasn’t she done enough?'.

Seraph ftells, 'as i said: she will explain it to you'.
Seraph ftells, 'and remember people say the same thing about you and i'.

Samiyah ftells, 'YOU did not sit idly by and let someone hurt me. YOU have done all you can to help me be strong. SHE let a pervert vampire kidnap and kill and molest a young girl. If people think you the same they are stupid'.

Seraph ftells, 'People get blinded by things - even gods. I'm not protecting DarkClaw - Don't get me wrong - but it shows how weak she really is'.

Samiyah ftells, ‘I will tell her to leave my sister alone.'.

Seraph ftells, 'Lust rules her thoughts and emotions.'.

Seraph ftells, 'Your choice, dear one'.

Samiyah ftells, 'she is haraam through and through!'.

Samiyah smiles in response to Seraph's endearment.

Seraph ftells, 'You may not like DarkClaw for what she has done, but you must still show respect to her. She is Immortal.'.

Samiyah ftells, '*bow* I will obey, Sahib.'.

Seraph ftells, 'You have to respect all immortals. It is the code of being mortal. I, on the other hand, don't care about any of them.'.


Blinded – Log by DarkClaw


Temple of the Lost
[Exits: west]
A large eye hovers in mid-air here, emitting a soft, purple glow.

A light knock is heard.

DarkClaw yells, 'Come in.'.

Samiyah calls out: I cannot enter Your temple.

Northern Avenue
[Exits: north east south]
You stand on the marble walkway that makes up Northern Avenue.
Although many feet have crossed this ground the marble is not worn
in the least. DarkClaw's temple is to the east.
The sky is rainy and a warm southerly breeze blows.
(Dark Blue Aura) Samiyah is here.

Samiyah bows deeply.

DarkClaw says, 'Silly me. My thoughts were distracted.'.

Samiyah says (in common), 'Sahib said you wish to talk and that He had spoken to you of it?'.

DarkClaw says, 'Should we go someplace safe first?'.

Samiyah says (in common), 'I am fine, thank You.'.

DarkClaw says, 'Alright. Yes...I spoke to him last eve. And...since she is your sister...I wanted you to know as well, and have the opportunity for refusal and/or input.'.

Samiyah says (in common), 'He said only that it was about Jamilla but not what'.

DarkClaw sighs and starts pacing before you slowly. "There are things I feel Jamilla should know...things I've kept from her."

Samiyah listens, her expression carefully blank.

DarkClaw says, 'The blame falls on me that she was embraced...and that she will never become a woman.'.

Samiyah nods, listening. "Yes. Venom was yours so his actions fall on You. This is known already...'.

DarkClaw says, 'It is not just that.'.

### Seraph: Entered Game

DarkClaw stops and faces you, meeting your gaze evenly. "I was given warn, to not allow it...yet, in my distraction I did not catch the meaning and...allowed it.
DarkClaw says softly, "I should have."

Seraph: hello

DarkClaw: ...Hello, Seraph.

Samiyah's gaze narrows.
Samiyah starts to speak with an obvious temper, but forces her expression and voice to a respectful calm.
Samiyah says (in common), '...you were warned that Venom would make Jamilla a Kindred?'.

DarkClaw expression turns almost pleading and she steps closer to you, catching herself when she reaches for you and lowering her hands.
DarkClaw blows out a breath. "I was warned not to let Venom create a daughter. I did not know that he meant KINDRED daughter."

Samiyah steps back.

Samiyah gossips (in common), 'what happened ludo?'.

Ludo gossips (in common), 'Great white got me'.

Samiyah gossips (in common), 'did you die again?'.

DarkClaw says, 'I would never have consented for him to embrace a child.'.

Samiyah says (in common), 'pardon me. my Sahib commands.'.
Samiyah bows deeply.
Samiyah leaves south.

Ludo gossips (in common), '*feels bad*'.

Samiyah gossips (in common), 'where?'.

Ludo gossips (in common), 'By Dangerous Shores [Exits: north east west]'.

Samiyah gossips (in common), 'what area? north? outlands? south?'.

Ludo gossips (in common), 'sorry wasp in room'.
Ludo gossips (in common), 'by the shipwerak'.

Samiyah gossips (in common), 'ew'.

Ludo gossips (in common), 'western side'.

Samiyah gossips (in common), 'ludo... '.

(Samiyah steps away to try and help Ludo, but based on his corpse location, she is not able to do so at the time.)

Samiyah arrives from the south.
Samiyah bows deeply.

DarkClaw says, 'Welcome back.'.

Samiyah says (in common), 'You said something but I missed it.'.
Samiyah says (in common), 'Could you repeat it?'.

DarkClaw blows out a breath. "I was warned not to let Venom create a daughter. I did not know that he meant KINDRED daughter. I would never have consented for him to embrace a child.'.

Samiyah says (in common), '..so let me see if I understand - You say you were warned but did not pay attention?'.

DarkClaw says, 'I was foolish in thinking that Venom would go about making a biological daughter with someone.'.

DarkClaw says softly, "Blinded."

Samiyah says (in common), 'So you want to tell my sister that what happened to her was your fault.. but you just did not think because you were blind?'.

DarkClaw says, 'I think she has a right to know the truth...and that she will never physically be a woman.'.

Samiyah says (in common), 'there is no truth there'.
Samiyah says (in common), '..and she knows'.

DarkClaw searches your features for a moment, then lowers her gaze and whips the winds about her. "As you wish."

Temple of the Lost
[Exits: west]
A large eye hovers in mid-air here, emitting a soft, purple glow.

((Some time later))

DarkClaw tells Samiyah, '*a palpable wave of frustration, anger and regret surrounds you, not your own, and it feels as if you are being watched*'.

### [Somewhere, Samiyah wraps her arms around herself in a semi-hug.]
### [Somewhere, Samiyah sighs, leaning against the fireplace, soaking in the heat of the stone.]

Samiyah tells DarkClaw (in common), '...was that you staring at me?'.

DarkClaw tells Samiyah, '*softly* Would my answer matter either way?'.

Samiyah tells DarkClaw (in common), 'well, I would ask you why, if it was.'.

DarkClaw tells Samiyah,, 'I watch you more than you know, Samiyah. This is hardly the first.'.

Samiyah tells DarkClaw (in common), '*blink*'.
Samiyah tells DarkClaw (in common), '*blink*'.
Samiyah tells DarkClaw (in common), '..Why?'.

DarkClaw tells Samiyah, 'You wouldn't believe me if I told you, so it matters not.'.

Samiyah tells DarkClaw (in common), 'very well.'.


Brother’s Ear To Listen – Log by DarkClaw

### Ghazkull: Entered Game

DarkClaw tells Ghazkull, 'Hello, brother.'.

Ghazkull arrives from the west.
Ghazkull grins wickedly.
Ghazkull hugs DarkClaw.

DarkClaw smiles at him.
DarkClaw hugs him.
DarkClaw says, 'Ah yes, you can do that again.'.

Ghazkull chuckles, evidently amused.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'what's AOB?'.

DarkClaw chuckles.
DarkClaw says, 'Remember that night when Nati created the Army of Bloos in my temple?'.

Ghazkull laughs.
Ghazkull nods.

DarkClaw says, 'It's a tribute to her.'.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'you still have the bag as well don't you?'.

DarkClaw nods.

DarkClaw says, 'I do'.

Ghazkull chuckles, evidently amused.

DarkClaw gets a bag made from army of true bloo followers hide from a crystalline prism.
DarkClaw gets a bag made from army of true bloo followers hide in a crystalline prism.

Ghazkull gets bag made from Belgarion hide from bag made from Ghazkull hide.
Ghazkull sits down and thinks deeply.
Ghazkull puts bag made from Belgarion hide in bag made from Ghazkull hide.

DkarClaw grins evilly.
DarkClaw says, 'I have several of those.'.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'I came in here the other day and there were 3 angriff corpses on the floor'.

DarkClaw nods.
DarkClaw says, 'He was getting rid of his eq.'.
DarkClaw says, 'Retired'.

Ghazkull gasps in astonishment.

DarkClaw gaze trails off, her thoughts obviously elsewhere.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'what's wrong?'.

DarkClaw lets out a frustrated growl. "Samiyah...that's what."

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'what's happened?'.

DarkClaw says, 'I try to do something RIGHT for a change and she still shuns me and calls me a liar.'.

Ghazkull gestures towards the couch, 'mind if I sit?'
Ghazkull snickers softly.

DarkClaw says, 'Of course not.'.

Ghazkull sits on the couch and gets comfy.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'so..'.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'tell me everything'.

DarkClaw lifts a hand to the Eye of the Lost, trailing her fingers over its surface.

DarkClaw says, 'I was reminded recently of something that I felt I should come clean about...So I approached Seraph, spoke with him on the matter...Decided to speak to Samiyah as well, since it involved her sister... And she insists on being difficult.'.

Ghazkull sits down and thinks deeply.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'i'm going to need more info I think. What did you need to come clean about?'.

DarkClaw says, 'That the blame lies on me for Jamilla being Kindred, and for the obvious fact that she will never become a woman.'.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'I disagree. It is not your fault that she became kindred. You didn't turn her'.

DarkClaw turns to face you quickly, her form tense. "Close enough! I created the monster Venom, just as I didn't heed the warning given to me. The Lich warned me not to let him make a daughter, Ghaz.'.

Ghazkull sighs and runs his hand through his hair.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'you are not omnipresent'.

DarkClaw says, 'Tell that to Seraph and Samiyah.'.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'Seraph should know this'.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'Seraph DOES know this'.

DarkClaw says, 'Regardless...the fact is that I did NOT realize that the Lich meant KINDRED daughter.'.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'how were you supposed to?'.

DarkClaw says, 'I thought he meant a biological daughter. But neither Seraph nor Samiyah believe me. They both say there's no truth to my words.'.

Ghazkull motions for you to sit.

DarkClaw hesitates, then quickly walks to you and flops down on the sofa.

Ghazkull puts a comforting arm around you.

DarkClaw says softly, "She is so blinded by mistrust that she does not see that I love both her and Jamilla."

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'someone long ago said to me that as long as you know you are telling the truth, it doesn't matter what other people think. I can't speak for Sami or Seraph, but... the problem that Sami has with you stems from the Venom/Belgarion triangle.'.

DarkClaw says, 'I disagree. It stems from the fact that I put out a hunt for her after I said I would never hurt her.'.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'my memory is cloudy, was that before or after Venom?'.

DarkClaw says, 'After...but it had nothing to do with Venom. It was Wish's request for aid.'.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'but the mistrust was already in place from your cheating on Belgarion with Venom'.

DarkClaw says, 'I'm pretty sure that she did not even know at that point.'.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'I remember her telling me that she had sought counsel from you, then discovered about you and Venom'.

DarkClaw says, 'I told her about Venom myself.'.

Ghazkull nods.

DarkClaw says, 'But I am almost positive the hunt was called before that. It won't be the first time I've been wrong, though.'.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'I honestly can't remember, a lot has happened since then'.

DarkClaw nods.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'I could try talking to Sami for you? She asked me how you were the other day'.

DarkClaw says, 'You could. But I don't think it would make a difference. She's more stubborn than a mule.'.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'I said that I hadn't seen much of you but I could tell something was bothering you'.

DarkClaw says, 'I am trying to do right by her and her sister now, but she insists on pushing me away even further.'.

Ghazkull nods.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'I know she is worried about her sister'.

DarkClaw says, 'Samiyah says that Jamilla already knows she will never grow.'.

Ghazkull nods.

DarkClaw says, 'She is bonded to me now. You know that, don't you?'.

Ghazkull blinks.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'I know there was talk about it. I thought Cordir had intervened or something'.

DarkClaw says, 'No...Jamilla came to me, wanting her bond with Venom gone, and to be bound to me.'.

Ghazkull gasps in astonishment.

DarkClaw says, 'I tore her from her bond with him and tied her to me.'.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'I didn't think that was possible'.

DarkClaw says, 'Originally I was positive that Khore would have to be involved, but... That was not the case.'.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'I remember you being worried about his reaction'.

DarkClaw shrugs. "I still worry. He will wake one day and find out."

DarkClaw says, 'I am convinced his sleep is not eternal.'.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'and he will see that you took steps to deal with the mess that you created'.

DarkClaw says, 'He will see that I allowed the mess to occur in the first place.'.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'and he will see that you took steps to deal with it'.

DarkClaw says, 'But he will be fair and just.'.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'you took responsibility for it and dealt with it'.

DarkClaw says, 'Did I?'.

DarkClaw says, 'It was not my doing that Venom is gone.'.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'no, but... That mess is over with, it happened, it's not going on now. The main concern now is Jamilla'.

DarkClaw says softly, "Are you certain it is over with?"

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'and you took steps to remedy that situation before it escalated. I have faith in the gods of the realm'.

DarkClaw says, 'I am certain he will return.'.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'and when he does he will be hunted mercilessly'.

DarkClaw says, 'As is he.'.

DarkClaw blows out a breath.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'he made a LOT of enemies in his short time here. Oh, I know his knowledge is incredible'.
Ghazkull chuckles, evidently amused.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'just us two'.

DarkClaw says, 'I have to make sure he does not go near Jamilla again, somehow.'.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'I will keep an eye on her as much as I can if I ever see her'.

DarkClaw says, 'Thank you. She has been...on a mission lately. It won't be easy finding her.'.

Ghazkull chuckles, evidently amused.

DarkClaw's expression indicates that she is keeping something from you.

Ghazkull says nothing, allowing the silence to continue.

DarkClaw says, 'And, for the sake of all of us...I hope she does not succeed.'.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'all of us... Kindred?'.

DarkClaw says, 'The entirety of the realm.'.

Ghazkull blinks.

DarkClaw whispers, "That is all I can say."

Ghazkull sits down and thinks deeply.

DarkClaw says, 'And she cannot know that I even said that much.'.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'I can be discreet'.
Ghazkull chuckles, evidently amused.

DarkClaw says, 'I know.'.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'well, I will keep an eye on her, for you and for Sami. Wow, she shot up'.

DarkClaw forces a smile. "Thank you. And yes, she has grown... In power. Where will you go now, after Hutt abandoning you?'.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'I don't know. Sami asked me if I would return to your flock the other day. I said I wouldn't, and that you understood why I could not but I really don't know, the only other option I really have is Boromir'.

DarkClaw's eyes flash with pain, but she nods slowly.
DarkClaw says, 'It would be a shame even then, as you would most always be alone.'.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'in Nexus?'.

DarkClaw says, 'They are rarely around.'.

Ghazkull nods.

DarkClaw blinks at the sudden realization of something and whispers in awe, "Jamilla is more powerful than Venom now."

Ghazkull nods.

DarkClaw says, 'But is she more powerful than Venom and the Lich combined?'.

Ghazkull sits down and thinks deeply.

DarkClaw says, 'I would think not...yet.'.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'she is more powerful than me even!'.

You nod in recognition to him.

DarkClaw says, 'Belgarion is returning.'.

Ghazkull is so excited that he cheers just for the hell of it.

DarkClaw's lips twitch in a brief smile. "Though he says he won't become as involved as before."

Ghazkull snickers softly.

DarkClaw says, 'I will believe it when I see it.'.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'everyone says that'.

DarkClaw nods.
DarkClaw says, 'Perhaps we will have our wedding yet.'.
You chuckle.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'i'll get my tux out of the dry cleaners'.

You laugh.
DarkClaw says, 'Hopefully they didn't ruin it.'.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'I don't know, the residents of Nydia seem a pretty capable lot. There's even a school there so...'.

DarkClaw nods.
DarkClaw says, 'I fear that Wish will be retired soon as well.'.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'inactivity?'.

DarkClaw nods.
DarkClaw says, 'He is at Cult status.'.

Ghazkull winces. Ouch!
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'I'd best get myself ascended then'.
Ghazkull chuckles, evidently amused.

You grin evilly.
DarkClaw says, 'I would love to witness that. I think Seraph is losing it...completely.'.
You frown. What's bothering you?

Ghazkull sits down and thinks deeply.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'how so?'.

DarkClaw says, 'He KISSED me...more than once.'.

Ghazkull blinks.

DarkClaw says, 'And licked my jaw, and whispered in my ear.'.

Ghazkull inserts a finger into his ear and wiggles it vigorously, 'Come again?'

DarkClaw says, 'You heard right. It was just...weird. And he won't tell me why he did it.'.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'maybe he was feeling lonely'.

DarkClaw gives you a look.

Ghazkull laughs.

DarkClaw says, 'This is Seraph we're talking about.'.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'did he ever have a love interest when he was mortal?'.

DarkClaw says, 'If so, I am unaware of it. Wait. He married Mystaya.'.

Ghazkull nods.

DarkClaw says, 'But whether he actually loved her, I don't know.'.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'maybe a part of him was missing her?'.

DarkClaw says, 'It's possible, but I would be more inclined to think it's some kind of game he is playing.'.

Ghazkull sits down and thinks deeply.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'you're probably right'.

DarkClaw sighs.
DarkClaw says, 'I have to go for a bit.'.

Ghazkull nods.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'i'll go get some exp'.

DarkClaw hugs Ghazkull.

Ghazkull hugs DarkClaw.

DarkClaw says, 'Be safe.'.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'I always am'.

DarkClaw hugs Ghazkull.

Ghazkull grins wickedly.

DarkClaw waves goodbye to Ghazkull.

Ghazkull waves goodbye to DarkClaw. Have a good journey.


Regarding Sisters – Log by Samiyah


Ghazkull tells Samiyah (in elven), 'How are you today, Almond?'.

Samiyah tells Ghazkull (in common), '*smile* There you are! I tried speaking to you a few times, but you could not hear me.'.

Ghazkull tells Samiyah (in elven), 'I was asleep until Reacher set off one of my alarms but I was away at the time'.

Samiyah tells Ghazkull (in common), 'I am.. hm. *pauses a minute, and mentally decides, then answers her voice quiet.* I am fine.'.

Ghazkull tells Samiyah (in elven), 'heh, someone else who is not telling me the whole story *snickers softly*'.

Samiyah tells Ghazkull (in common), 'I am fine, but had an upsetting experience... but speaking to you of it would only cause you upset and I do not wish to hand that burden to you.'.

Ghazkull tells Samiyah (in elven), 'is this regarding my Sister, your Sister, You and Seraph?'.

Samiyah tells Ghazkull (in common), '*quietly, following a sigh* Yes.'.

Ghazkull tells Samiyah (in elven), '*smiles slightly* I spoke to my sister earlier, she told me what happened'.

Samiyah tells Ghazkull (in common), 'She and I are .. are in disagreement.'.

Ghazkull tells Samiyah (in elven), 'I know, She seemed quite distressed by it all.'.

Samiyah tells Ghazkull (in common), '.. she said that she watches me. Often.'.

Ghazkull tells Samiyah (in elven), 'She cares for you, and Jamilla'.

Ghazkull tells Samiyah (in elven), 'you know that I am bonded to her, I can sense these things'.

Samiyah tells Ghazkull (in common), '*falls silent, not wishing to disagree*'.
Samiyah tells Ghazkull (in common), 'where are you, if I may ask?'.

Ghazkull tells Samiyah (in elven), 'currently in the Living Lands'.

In a Quiet Cave
[Exits: south]
Ghazkull is here.

Samiyah smiles happily.

Ghazkull smiles happily.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'the last time I was here, Seraph visited me'.

Samiyah slips into the cave, and perches on a rock nearby, maintaining an odd distance.

Ghazkull looks at you quizically but says nothing.

Samiyah releases a quiet breath, leaning back against the cave wall, and tucks a long braid behind one ear.

Ghazkull sits down and thinks deeply.
Ghazkull says softly, 'What's wrong, Almond?'

Samiyah smiles in instant response to the nickname, then glances over at you, her expression a mixture of emotion.

Ghazkull sits down on the floor of the cave and runs his hand through his hair.
Ghazkull rests.

Samiyah's eyes follow the graceful movement of your hand through your hair, her enjoyment of it clear.

Samiyah says (in common), 'Sahib reminds me that I must speak respectfully, always, of Immortals. But I am angry with your Sister... and I do not know if that upsets you or angers you.. and I do not want a . a bad feeling.. to be between us.'.

Ghazkull sighs softly.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'I am not always happy with my Sister and if people are not happy with her, I can't do anything about that, she is her own person. But I do believe her when she says that she cares for both you and Jamilla. She was extremely distressed earlier'.

Samiyah sighs quietly, then asks gently, 'Then, why did she tell her people to kill me?'

Ghazkull says simply, 'To help Wish'
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'Wish wanted your corpse, as you know'.

Samiyah shudders and swallows hard, looking down at the floor.
Samiyah murmurs (in the desert tongue), 'Abomination.'

Ghazkull sits down and thinks deeply.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'I do not know that word'.

Samiyah says (in common), 'worst-of-worst.'.

Ghazkull nods.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'Lost are allied with Alchemy, or at least they were at the time'.

Samiyah tilts her head to one side, toying with her braids. 'Would you seek the death of someone you cared about, because it would aid another that you cared about.

Ghazkull turns his head to one side, thinking deeply.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'that depends on who the people were. Personally I don't think I could.'.

Samiyah says (in common), 'if the cost to help Jamilla was that I had to plunge a dagger into your heart... I would not do it.'.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'I would let you though. if it would allow Jamilla to live a normal life'.

Samiyah says (in common), 'I would never conceive of doing such a thing. I could not bring harm to one that I .. cared about.. even to help another that I care about. Even to help family.'.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'I understand what you are getting at'.



The Elemental Visitor – Log by Samiyah


The small stream of water starts to pour out, rather than trickle.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'it is different when you are an immortal though.'.

Samiyah blinks.

Samiyah says (in common), 'Perhaps, and that is a thing I will never know.'.

In a Quiet Cave
[Exits: south]
Everything is still and quiet. A bit of grass near the entrance
moves slightly, but it is the movement of normal grass in normal
wind. Even the small stream of water that trickles by before it
slips away into a crack in the north wall seems perfectly normal.
Ghazkull is resting here.

Samiyah glances at the suddenly active streamlet.

The water forms into a man.

Samiyah rises from her seat on the rock, slightly interposing herself between the watery figure and Ghazkull, without even realizing it.

Ghazkull seems to notice the water for the first time.

The man speaks: the vampire and desert girl.

Ghazkull blinks.

Samiyah says (in common), '.. yes?'.

He speaks again: Why do you two play this game?

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'game?'.

Samiyah's brow creases in a frown. 'Man-of-Water, I think you speak ill and false.'

The man cackles with delight

Ghazkull looks quizzically to Samiyah, then back to the illusion in-between them.

Samiyah shrugs in response to Ghazkull's glance, clearly equally confused.

The man speaks: desert girl do not play games with me

Ghazkull stands, making himself ready for something.
Ghazkull stands up.

The man speaks: I can see it as clear as you can see me

Samiyah says (in common), 'Well, you are made of water, and that a strangeness in and of itself. I do not trust large amounts of water. Especially not water that goes about talking in such an unnatural fashion.'.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'the tempest comes where there is large amounts of water'.

The man speaks: I am sorry

The water turns to flames

The man speaks: Is this better?

Samiyah blinks and steps more directly between the fire and Ghazkull.

The man speaks: or perhaps this?

The man turns into a shadow shaped as a angel

Ghazkull murmurs, 'Sami, I do not distrust this... illusion, despite it's seeming attempts to scare us.

The man speaks: is this better?

Samiyah says (in common), 'Are you one of the Fallen Ones?'.

The man speaks: I am the eyes of the master

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'whose master? I have no master, currently.'.

The man speaks: You do, vampire.

Samiyah says (in common), 'My Sahib speaks to me when He wishes, he does not send spirits or seemings. '.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'the only people I consider my master, are the great gods of the realm.'.

The man speaks: Your sahib is growing weary of his people

Ghazkull blinks.

Samiyah says (in common), 'Then I am sure He will tell me that when He is ready.'.

The man speaks: Blood will flow like a river and the dead that walks will finally sleep

The man speaks: So enjoy this moment - because it will end soon

Samiyah says (in common), 'if that is some sort of threat against Ghazkull, I will not stand for it.'.

Ghazkull sits down and thinks deeply.

The man speaks: You cannot and will not do anything, desert girl, for you are weak

Samiyah says (in common), 'Begone, false messenger. My Sahib did not send you. He speaks plain as day.'.

The man speaks: I know your weakness and that will be your downfall

Samiyah says (in common), '.. everyone knows my weakness. That is no special thing to know.'.
Samiyah shrugs. 'And I have fallen before. It simply taught me to stand up again.'.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'as have I'.

The man speaks: Yes, desert girl - but this time, he will not watch over your soul

Samiyah says (in common), 'He has a part of it within him, always.'.

The man speaks: As I stated: he grows tired of his people. Only the strong will stand by his side

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'I know of no-one stronger than Sami'.

Laughter booms through the cave like thunder.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'she has been through so much since I met her, and still she stands here'.

The man speaks: With his strength, yes, but now she is alone

Samiyah says (in common), 'If my Sahib wanted me to go, he would cast me out. It is that simple.'.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'never alone'.

Samiyah flashes Ghazkull a smile.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'she will always have me'.

The man speaks: It will be fun watching you both lose everything

Ghazkull sits down and thinks deeply.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'I have nothing to lose. I have no deity to worship, most of my friends are gone, with the exception of my Sister and Sami'.

The angelic shadow fades back into the darkness.

Ghazkull blinks.

Its voice lingers: enjoy the moment

Ghazkull exhales a breath that he didn't realise he was holding in.

Samiyah shakes her head dismissively.

Samiyah says (in common), 'That was not of Sahib. He is much more direct.'.

Ghazkull runs his fingers through his hair, a confused look on his face.

Samiyah's lips curve in a slight smile as she watches your gesture.

Ghazkull notices your smile and stops, 'sorry, it's become a bit of a nervous habit'

Samiyah makes a sound of protest when you stop. 'Please... don't stop on my account. I like your hair. It's beautiful. Men in the desert wear their hair long. Most men outside the desert do not... so it is nice to see one that does.. and yours is so...'.

Ghazkull sits down and thinks deeply.

Samiyah toys with the silky strands, running the ends over her palm.

Seraph ftells, 'how so?'.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'do you have any clue what that... illusion? was all about?'.

Seraph smiles at Samiyah.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'I know, I meant homeless as in no following.'.

Samiyah says (in common), '..I do not think I am Ghazkull's home. Just .. a friend.'.

Seraph says, 'from your blood pumping dear one I would say you two are more than friends'.

Ghazkull laughs.
Ghazkull remembers himself and coughs, blushing slightly.
Ghazkull runs his hand through his hair.

Samiyah blushes slightly, clearing her throat. 'Sahib.. you know all that has passed between us.. and what has NOT.. and we are first and foremost, friends.'

Seraph says, 'and that’s a good start'.
Seraph says, 'let me ask you two a question'.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'and I care about Samiyah, without her I would not be where I am today. Or _what_ I am today'.

Seraph bends down and looks Ghazkull dead in the eyes.

Ghazkull meets the gaze, unblinking, but trembling slightly.
Ghazkull runs a hand through his hair.

Seraph says, 'but Ghaz - you hurt my daughter and I will destroy you'.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'we had this conversation once before, I believe'.

Samiyah blinks in surprise.

Seraph says, 'we have'.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'and I repeat what I said then.'.

Corri laughs.
Corri says (in common), 'perhaps you should take more time to explore her wishes, as she tries to figure them out too'.
Corri smiles happily.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'I honestly don't know. I'm hopeless. I'm happy with the way things are, but i'm open to things changing'.

In a Quiet Cave
[Exits: south]
Everything is still and quiet. A bit of grass near the entrance
moves slightly, but it is the movement of normal grass in normal
wind. Even the small stream of water that trickles by before it
slips away into a crack in the north wall seems perfectly normal.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'I remember the first time I cast it. That's fine, I like it here in this cave. I've spent an awful lot of time here'.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'I guess it depends on the definition of wicked'.
Ghazkull grins wickedly.

Samiyah blushes slightly, inhaling a little as she catches a glimpse of your fangs as you grin.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'so it seems that various people are trying to push us together'.

Samiyah says (in common), 'well, Sahib. I think Corri misses Cirth And does not want others to be in a position of missing the one they care about.'.

Samiyah nods.
Samiyah says (in common), 'that..I... '.
Samiyah shakes her head in stunned bafflement.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'it just seems so out of place with _everything_ that I have learnt about him'.

Samiyah says (in common), 'I..'.
Samiyah says (in common), 'I just..'.
Samiyah shakes her head again.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'apparently he tried nibbling her lip and whispering in her ear as well...'.

Samiyah gets distracted, trying to imagine that.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'who knows'.

Samiyah says quietly to herself, 'lip nibbling? Hm.'

Ghazkull chuckles, evidently amused.
Ghazkull runs his hand through his hair, finds a knot and proceeds to work it out.

Samiyah watches the process from beneath her lashes.

Ghazkull struggles as the knot gets to the end.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'first knot in ages and I can't get rid of it...'.

Samiyah asks hesitantly, 'Do you need help?'

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'please? If you don't mind?'.

Samiyah scoots a little closer, and gets a wooden comb from one of her bags.
Samiyah slowly reaches out and slides the lock of hair up from your hand, not making contact with your skin.
Samiyah loops the long strand of hair over her finger, to keep any possible tugs from being relayed up to your scalp.
Samiyah slides the comb through the silvery length, working at the knot bit by bit.

Samiyah wrinkles her brow in thought.

Samiyah says (in common), 'tree sap? Have you been in a forest lately?'.

Samiyah works at the stubborn knot with the comb.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'I was sleeping under the oak in Wintermeet earlier'.

Samiyah nods.
Samiyah says (in common), 'that might be it, then.'.

Ghazkull nods.

Samiyah bites her lip in concentration, as she finally works through the knot.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'i've not combed my hair in a long time, never usually need to for some reason'.

Samiyah says (in common), 'it wouldn't dare be so impudent.'.

Samiyah smoothes down the length that is now knot-free, and looks at the rest of your hair. She gestures with the comb. 'May I?'

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'by all means'.

Samiyah smiles with delight as she moves a touch closer, then, starting at your scalp, slides the comb smoothly through your hair.

Samiyah shifts so she can go from roots to ends in a single long slide of the comb, leaning down to be able to reach.

Ghazkull breathes deeply a few times.

Samiyah continues the long, full strokes of the comb through the length of your hair, smiling with delighted enjoyment as she works her way through it.
Samiyah moves behind you and continues her combing.

Ghazkull's breathing seems to get shallower.

Samiyah makes sure that no part of her garments or hands comes into contact with you - only the comb running down the long length of your hair.

Samiyah scoots over a bit more towards your right, so she can reach the locks there.
Samiyah finishes sweeping the comb through all of your hair, leaving it in a long, silky, smooth cascade.

Ghazkull runs his hand through his hair, 'that's better, thank you'

Samiyah smiles happily.

Ghazkull yawns suddenly, clapping his hand over his mouth.

Samiyah giggles.

Samiyah says (in common), 'Did I put you to sleep?'.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'I am quite tired, but the feel of you brushing my hair was quite soothing'.

Samiyah smiles happily.
Samiyah says (in common), 'I'm glad you liked it.'.

Ghazkull smiles happily.

Samiyah remains where she is, standing behind you, just looking at you.

Ghazkull turns slowly to look at you, 'I should give you something to say thank you'

Samiyah drops her gaze. 'There is no need. I was happy to do it.'

Ghazkull raises his hand to your chin, gently lifting your gaze back up.

Samiyah remains quite still, but meets your eyes.

Ghazkull moves closer, trying to gauge your reaction as he does so.

Samiyah turns her face up to yours, biting her lip ever so slightly in anticipation.

Ghazkull raises a hand to your cheek, fingers reaching round to the back of your neck, gently pulling you closer.

Samiyah's breath catches, her heart racing, and obediently follows the pressure of your hand, moving near.

Ghazkull presses his lips to yours, gently at first but slowly increasing the pressure.

Samiyah moans softly and returns the kiss, rising on tiptoe to be a little closer, her lips parting beneath the pressure of yours.

Ghazkull's other hand reaches around to your back, pulling you closer, the kiss getting more intense.

Samiyah makes a soft sound of delighted pleasure in her throat, her hands tentatively sliding up to rest lightly at your waist.
Samiyah mimics the hungry intensity of your lips, her breathing quick and warm on your skin.

Ghazkull's breathing gets faster as the intensity builds.

Corri tells Samiyah (in common), night Sami'.

Samiyah tells Corri (in common), '*startled, blushes* er, uh.. night!'.

Ghazkull releases the pressure slightly, for fear of hurting you.

Samiyah tilts her head slightly, thinking briefly, then dares to nibble on your lower lip.

Ghazkull giggles.

Ghazkull releases you gently, the kiss ending sweetly, a few playful kisses made before drawing away.

Samiyah's lips curve in a delighted smile as you draw away, and she rises on tiptoe to steal one more.

Ghazkull grins wickedly.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'sorry for giggling, I wasn't expecting the nibble'.

Samiyah smiles delightedly, looking a bit starry-eyed and dreamy.

Samiyah says (in common), 'well, I thought I might give it a try..'.

Samiyah giggles.

Ghazkull chuckles, evidently amused.

Samiyah glances up at your mouth with a very happy, little sigh.

Samiyah says (in common), 'Thank you...'.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'It was my pleasure'.
Ghazkull smiles at Samiyah.

Samiyah ducks her head a little, leaning her cheek lightly against your chest briefly.

Ghazkull strokes your braided hair gently.

Samiyah sighs contentedly.

Samiyah says (in common), '... I should be going, I am afraid..'.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'as should I'.

Ghazkull smiles happily.
Ghazkull says (in elven), 'it was my pleasure'.

Samiyah shakes her head. 'No. It was mine.'

Ghazkull grins wickedly.

Samiyah shivers a little at that grin.

Ghazkull says (in elven), 'see!'.

Samiyah giggles.
