Brunnex2 saluted shifted into human form again and taking the lead. He saw the sense in it so didn’t argue. When everyone had filed behind him he started off carefully into the cave.
***
Brunnex eyebrow rose. This ought to be good. “Oh, and what would the prophet desire?” He asked with a light smile. His face grew serious as he waited for an answer. Whatever it was he would give serious consideration to.

Er're came up the back of Rend, whom came up the back of John, whom came up the back of Brunnex. Their shoulders were close to the brown cave walls, the moist vertical walls seemed to rise above them like giant ominous stone giants.
Er're walked with in a slight crouching position, his footsteps made no noise at all but that mattered little since Rend's heavy mettalic footsteps echoed off of the walls.
The tunnel before them stretched for a good few hundred metres, into a solid wall of darkness...

"Uh guys." John whispered. " Do you think it would be wiser to create an orb of light up ahead, or go night vision?" He asked, knwoing that turning his eyes so that they could see in the dark would be better, but thought that if Redn could at least see the outline of a dragon attacking them, he wouldn't be useless from far away. It might even serve as an early warning system for them.

Er're sniffed the air several times before replying; "I can't smell any dragons, they could have disguised their scent but I think its safe to plant a light up ahead.
Let me do it, I know of ways to use as little magic as possible, as not to harm our Ork friend." Er're smirked, and placed his right hand against the cave wall, from his right index finger shot a dull amber light, it glowed at the tip of his finger for a moment. Then, in a perfectly straight line, it dashed along the cave wall and lit the way for a hundred metres or so.
"I rearrange the molecules so that that strip glows in the dark, its not much but we won't be getting ambushed that easily now." Er're caught up with the others whom had kept walking whilst he had done his minor spell, it should only have caused Rend a minute level of pain.

I need someone to go to the king in Sardo. I must know his plans, especially those relating to Unu'Kuth. I do not want him to know we are searching for information though, so you would have to be discreet. You risk losing some respect or status with the king if you are discovered. I will also have to go to the capitol fairly soon to take care of certain obligations. But still, i would appropriate it if did a little reconnaissance. *

Brunnex2 was grateful for the light being that he was the person in front and had almost fell twice. He quickened his pace with the heralding of the light feeling an anxiousness creep up inside him. He wanted to be done of this whole affair.
***
Brunnex frowned. He didn’t know if it was just respect he would lose. The King didn’t seem like the merciful type. “I don’t know...” He said seriously considering his options “That Sin is pretty powerful. I’d have to be very discreet and try not to venture to close to the King himself.” He didn’t know how he could accomplish something like this. “I shall go but promise I will not. Deal?”

I would not ask you to promise results. *Tourivil said with a shrug. * I suppose that makes it a deal. If all that you accomplish by going there is to bring back a few shiny tourist baubles. I'll consider it a success.

Er're stopped suddenly; "Stop, Brunnex don't move a muscle!"
If Brunnex did not stop in the exact spot he was in then he would step upon a small, almost un-noticeable, glyph. Which, of course, could herald all kinds of problems ranging from, but not limited too; A sudden explosion, a demonic summoning of some kind, Brunnex being sealed inside a tea-cup for a thousand years, absolutely nothing.
In short, it would be best if he stopped immediately. If the others bumped him, all was lost.
-
Fen watched as Faolin drew what appeared to be a small dragon scale across the edge of his blade, red sparks shot from the two surfaces as they scraped together. Faolin held up his behemoth sword and checked its edge with hawk like eyes, he shook his head slightly and then set the blade back on his knees, he began to sharpen the edge again.
Fen sat up and reached for his own sword, his father had said it was wrought from the finest Olympian steel. Matched not even by Dragon bone in strength and durability, Fen could barely lift the thing never mind swing it with skill. He grasped the cool teal hilt and slid it from its clear sheath, it exited with an almost inaudible *Slink*.
He studied the sword with both his eyes and his arm, testing its weight by stretching it out before him. Its blue metal catching the orange of the camp fire brilliantly, the blade shone like a fallen star in his hapless hands. He truly did not deserve such a blade, who was he to hold a blade so many would kill for, so many would die for? He was just a seventeen year old, a peasant no less, with less right to hold this blade than most farmers had, at least they could swing the dam thing.
Faolin stood, taking a deep breath and lifting his sword with a single hand, when most would struggle to do the same with two. He looked towards the night sky as if he were searching for something dear to him, a smile crossed his lips, then it faded as he turned to face Fen; “Right, get up. It's about time you learned out to use that thing.”
Fen looked at him as if he were mad; “What? You can't be serious, I'm not a fighter!”
Faolin rolled his shoulders and moved a yard or so away from the fighter; “Like it or not, boy, you are Fenrir Shalza, the son of Lazarus, the god of battle, and a greater swordsman I've never met. I would be dishonouring the man if I didn't teach his son how to wield a blade properly.”
Fen grumbled and rose to his feet, he lifted his sword, his arm trembled under its weight then fell to his side. He groaned, how the hell he was he supposed to lift this thing!? How did anyone swing a sword so dam much, these people weren't normal.
Faolin smirked; “Come on, lift the thing.”
Fen grimaced as he tried again, his right arm simply couldn't do it. He rolled his shoulders, loosening them as much as he could as if that would solve anything, then grasped the handle with both hands. He brought the blade up to waist level, its tip aimed towards Faolin; “There...Easy.” Fen barely managed to say that before the blade almost fell, he just caught himself and raised it once more.
Faolin nodded; “It is a warrior in the making.” He looked around for a moment, seeing Shang he wondered if the boy would like lessons but thought it would be a question best asked later. His eyes narrowed on Fen once more; “Ok, hit me.”
Fen looked at his sword, then at Faolin; “What? We can't fight with real swords, we'll cut each other to pieces!”
Faolin laughed and raised his left hand, he clicked his fingers and then lowered the hand again; “There, I've blunted the edges of our blades. No head shots and we'll be fine, a few broken bones is the worst you'll suffer. I promise.” He smirked, making it obvious he thought Fen couldn't hit him and therefore he wouldn't be harmed.
Fen nodded, he bent his legs slightly and stared at Faolin, awaiting an opening as he had seen sword fighters doing in the tournament. He saw none, so he charged anyway.
Roaring like a beast he dashed forward, sword floating by his side since he was not able to lift it any higher.
Faolin sighed and stepped forward, his left fist curled into a neat ball. Before Fen could react, said fist was buried into his stomach, Faolin grabbed his right wrist and twisted it. Fen dropped his sword, Faolin shoulder barged him and sent the youth sprawling to the floor, he hit the ground the same moment as his blade did, Faolin's sword touched his neck a moment later; “You'll have to do better than that, if you can.” Faolin retracted his blade and stepped backwards a few feet allowing Fen space to stand.
Fen pulled himself up, retaking his stance with his sword back in his hands. Blood thumped in ears, what was the point in this? He would never be able to hit Faolin.
He waited for a chance to strike again, Faolin stood as a statue not letting his guard down for a moment. So, Fen charged again in an impatient flourish. His blade slowly slicing through the air towards Faolin.
Faolin blocked the strike with ease, then shoved the pommel of his sword into Fen's forehead and sent the boy to the floor once more. Faolin's eyes became strained; “Stand boy, show some fight for god's sake!”
Fen groaned and shook his head, it ached and burned as if it were branded by a hot iron. Ow, these guys certainly weren't normal if they ran around doing this to each other; “Why? What's the dam point!?”
Faolin reached down and grabbed his collar, he yanked the boy to his feet and tossed him several feet away. Fen barely had time to raise his sword before Faolin stepped forward and brought his sword towards Fen's exposed shoulder blade, Fen back stepped but Faolin swung his blade around and once more towards Fen; “Defend yourself! Fight, or die!”
Fen stumbled backwards as he tried to raise his sword, he backed up into a small pebble and lost his balance. Faolin's blade sailed over his head as he fell to the floor with a thud.
Faolin growled, raising his sword; “Stand up!” He brought his sword downwards, like an axe using its weight more like a bludgeon than a sword.
Fen rolled to the right, and got to his feet in a rush. Adrenaline filled his body and helped him lift the blade to a more respectful level, he was breathing. Which was amazing, Faolin seemed to have lost it, he had lost care if he hurt Fen or not. Fen couldn't let himself be hit by that sword, it would dam well kill him!
Faolin swung his blade around with some serious force behind it; “Block!”
Fen's sword held firm, he would block this dam attack. Faolin was starting to get on his nerves, why wouldn't he understand Fen wasn't good at this crap!? Fen's arm held firm as Faolin's blade came towards it.....Then turned to rubber as the vibrations from the two blades meeting reached his arms.
Faolin did not relent, Fen's sword faltered slightly and yet Faolin swung once more. Fen blocked, barely managing to knock Faolin's strike aside. The youth had prodigious fear in his eyes; “Stop it Faolin, this is too far!”
Faolin roared, his eyes alight with rage; “Its too far when you can hit me back, that's when its too dam far!” He swung again, his blade moving like a shadow through the night air.
Fen's blade rose once more, Faolin's sword hit his and was knocked backwards opening a hole in Faolin's defence. Fen smiled and roared as he sloppily brought his sword sideways towards Faolin's stomach.
Faolin's left hand grabbed Fen's neck and squeezed tight, then shoved the boy to the floor. Faolin's blade was at his throat a second later, as it had been the first time. Faolin scowled at him; “Maybe you're not Lazarus's son, you wouldn't be such a wuss if you were.”
Fen growled deep in his throat, he knocked Faolin's sword aside with his hand and rose to his feet, forgoing his sword entirely. He didn't care about these dam lessons, he would teach this guy a lesson.
He tackled Faolin to the floor, his fists smacking off the giant man's body as he roared in anger. Whether or not these punches hurt Faolin Fen cared not, it felt good to actually land a blow on him for once.
Faolin caught Fen's hand, and using it as leverage simply pushed Fen off of him. Faolin rose, sword in hand. His eyes glowed red and his chest heaved like a boar's before it charged, he raised his sword with inhuman speed and then brought it down just as fast towards Fen's head.
Fen flinched, his hands moving up to block his defenceless head, Faolin had lost it! Fen was screwed, there was nothing he could do to stop the attack, it would surely kill him even if the blade was blunted.
The sound of metal smacking against metal rang through the air and Faolin made a distinct grunting noise.
Fen opened his eyes and looked up, in his right hand was his blade and Faolin was recoiling from a strike. Fen hadn't grabbed his blade, what the hell was going on?
Faolin smirked; “I thought so.” He raised his sword again, this time angling it towards Fen's right shoulder.
Fen moved on instinct, he didn't even realise as his right hand alone brought his sword up and blocked the strike. Faolin's guard opened up as his sword bounced off of Fen's, Fen smirked and stepped forward. New found strength driving his sword towards Faolin's stomach.
Faolin knocked the blade aside, this time it took some effort, then launched another attack. Fen blocked with ease as his blade glided through the air with a will of its own, his arm felt as if it been dipped in lava but he didn't care. He would hit Faolin if it was the last thing he done!
Fen parried the blow, then once more pushed Faolin back with one of his own. Faolin knocked it aside again, the two traded blow for what seemed like hours but was merely thirty seconds. Both pushing each other's skill to their limits, Fen's new power was more than a match for Faolin's swordplay...Or so it seemed.
Faolin smirked; “Good, now lets stop playing.” He stepped forward, parrying a blow from Fen and simply punched Fen in the ribs, then he vanished. A moment later Fen felt a mountain fall upon his right calf, then upon his left. He turned his head, dropping his blade as his strength left him and his legs gave way. Standing behind him was Faolin, blade on shoulder and a smirk on his face. Fen fell flat on his face.
Faolin chuckled and sheathed his blade, Erda' s voice filled his head, they may be a world apart but both were still watching each other's progress carefully; “You were too tough on the pup.”
“No, no. Look at the results, I knew that if he thought I was truly trying to kill him then he would stop thinking he couldn't fight, and start doing it.
But, I am sorry I was so tough Fen, you truly are a son of Lazarus. Few could hope to match me for so long, especially with such little training. You'll be a fine swordsman. The first part was said in his head, whilst the latter was said to Fen.
Fen groaned as he crawled back to his sleeping place, he mumbled; “I don't even know what I done, one second I couldn't lift the thing and then the next I could. I doubt I could do it again.” It was true, his chest heaved from the effort and Fen thought he could sleep for several days and still be tired. His body was ablaze with pain, every cell in his body cried out for rest.
“Oh, so do I. It was probably your demi-god blood getting riled that kicked in and gave you the inhuman skill that you displayed, but it proves that you have an innate ability that we can harness. Given time, and a lot more lessons, perhaps we can make you a better swordsman than I.” Faolin smiled and lay on his back, staring into the sky.
Fen blew air from his mouth as if to say; “Sure.” Then he sighed, already knowing the answer but still needing to ask; “You were holding back, weren't you? I've heard legends about your skills, there is no way I could actually stand up to someone like you.”
“Shino, the fastest and one of the strongest swordsman who ever lived. My brother Tor, might not have been a legendary swordsman but he was a fine sparring partner. Shang Tao, perhaps one of the greatest sword fighters that has called Sardo home. Lazarus, your father, the greatest swordsman ever to live.
Surround yourself with greatness the way I did, kid, and your bound to become good. Plus, I'm far stronger than any normal human. Sparring with me for any length of time proves your a talented kid. Hell, dragon-blood flow through my veins its no wonder I'm so good.
So to answer your question, yes, I held back.”
Fen nodded slowly; “You were lucky to have so many people to aim for.”
Faolin smiled; “Yeah, I was. But remember something Fen, no matter how strong you think someone is, never try to become them.
Learn from them, their mistakes and their victories but don't become them. You are your own person, your own strengths and weaknesses. Surpass your forebears, it is all one can aim to do.”
Fen chuckled as he thought once more of the godly blood within his veins; “My forebears? My forebear is a god, and before that he was one of the greatest fighters to ever live. How can I hope to surpass such greatness?”
Faolin nodded slowly, a serious tone came to his usually casual voice; “True, you need to set your sights higher than most but don't you ever, ever, think that you can't do it.
Your not just Lazarus' son, your mother's mortal blood flows through your veins and that, that is your greatest gift. Lazarus is a god, but for all his power he is bound by laws and rules beyond our understanding, yet you are the best of both worlds. You have the strength and courage of a god, and yet the ability to chose your path like a mortal. You are more blessed than your father ever was, Hades chose his path from the day he was born.
Now, sleep child. We have much travelling to do tomorrow.”
Fen nodded, more questions filled his head but his body could last no longer. Rest came within almost seconds.
Faolin sighed heavily, the day's hardships weighing down upon him. But, there was still one thing that needed to be said before slumber took him; “Shang, may I ask a question of you? Feel free to inerject with your own opinion if you wish Shilor.”

As soon as Er're called out, John stopped, having seen the trap Brunnex was about to step on. He planted his feet firmly to the ground, and reached out to grab Brunnex. He grabbed his shirt, and pulled him back, regardless if he'd managed to stop himself. The momentum of pulling Brunnex back would outweigh Rend knocking into them.

(I suspect that Brunty may be a while longer, so I'll just continue.)
Er're breathed a heavy breath of relief as he pushed passed Rend gently, then passed John, the finally passed Brunnex so that he was at the front of the group.
He bent down, the others backing up to give him space, and examined a tiny etching on the cave floor; "Hmm, from what I can tell if you had stepped on this you would have collapsed the tunnel in on itself as well as killed us all. I think its safe to assume that this is not the only one of its kind, don't touch the walls any more and try to walk in my footsteps if possible. I'll take the lead since I have the sharpest eyesight."
Er're scored out a line inside the glyph, there was a soft beep, then he stood up and carried onwards. With a slower, more careful pace.

Rend trekked into the dark tunnel. His eyes were not used to squinting but he could just barely make out what was directly in front of him. There was nothing he could do but wait for this tunnel to end and perhaps for something to appear. He was itching, there are no better words to describe his bloodlust.. he came on this mission to satisfy his hunger for battle, there was even a chance he would meet an opponent worthy enough to kill him in glorious battle, the likes of which would be told in stories for generations to come. If not he would kill those unworthy and take his prizes when they came to him. He was a lord now and had no need for gold, or even titles. He was now in the business of respect and reputation, two things he could use to become an even greater warrior and to attract even greater opponents.
Perhaps this dragon could provide a challenge for him, but if not he would drink the finest Orkish wine from the skull of this beast and songs will be sung.
Rend listened to the Elf speak, and was careful not to trigger any traps, there would be nothing worse than for someone like him to die in a nameless tunnel with no purpose or meaning.

"I can't see Erda yet, no. But, I can smell something up ahead, its sort of like...Freshness? Something fresh, perhaps a hole leading to the surface, perhaps the very one that Erda plans to use to enter the cave system? That begs the question though, why couldn't we go with him that way? He said he'll be having to avoid a lot of dragons on his way in, but if he's entering just above then I doubt thats the case... I guess we'll just need to see what's up. S-" Er're stopped, a sudden *Bleep* appeared to be the only reason why.
"Shit.." He sighed heavily, keeping his cool; "I missed a Glyph, sorry guys it must have been hidden better than the others so that whilst we were dodging the other's we totally be taken surprise by this one. Its a pressure glyph, quite hard to do actually, but so long as I keep my foot here we'll be fine...I think."
Er're sighed, clearly disappointed with himself; "Any ideas? Sensing the magic coming from this thing, I'd say if it goes it'll bring the hole cave system down in on itself. Disarming its out of the question since I've activated it already..."

Rend walked toward the elf, still careful to not trigger another trap.
"Time for some Ork ingenuity" Rend blurted out after remaining silent for some time.
Rend unhinged his axe from his back and used it to smash into a section of the surrounding tunnel. He hoped there would be nothing else to trigger a trap but it was a risk he had to take.
Rend then picked up a large section of rock that he had smashed out from the wall. He held it out towards the elf. He hoped that if this was a pressure rune that a quick switch of foot and rock would be enough to keep it at bay, at least until their business here was finished.

Er're took the rock, and very slowly bent down; "This, might, not work but I can think of no other solution. Smart thinking Rend."
With a flash of movement faster than most could follow Er're replaced his foot with the rock.
Beep.
Er're stared at the spot where the invisible ruin sat covered by the rock, nothing happened.
He breathed a sigh of relief; "Right, we'd best be extra careful. I'll make sure that doesn't happen again, the fresh smell is just up ahead anyway.."
Er're continued onwards, taking care to not hit the rock as he stepped over it.

"You know, that would make an excellent escape trap if we run back this way" John said, smiling. "It would be an excellent distraction, and would stop us from getting attacked from behind. There is one unremained question though. Could Bahamut place these glyphs down himself, and if not who did?"

"Your smarter than you make out, John." Er're said without missing a step; "I doubt that Bahamut could place these himself, the craftsmenship required is to delicately done for it to be by a dragon of his size in such small tunnels.
No, I fear he has had some form of humanoid place these for him at the very least. Perhaps he has enlisted the aid of a mage or two?" Er're did not like that possibility.

"Bahamut was Shang Taos dragon, and Tao was friendly with Balthazar. Could it be possible that they're working together? or at the very least, Balthazar, or someone he commands, placed those runes." John asked, placing a spell on the rock on the rune so that only magic could remove it.

"Even so, I don't like this. Perhaps it would be best if either me or Brunnex used magic to walk on the ceiling and scout ahead. There's a few reasons why, one is that walking on the ceiling is less noticeable than walking on the floor or floating. Two,there's a good chance there won't be any runes up there, an if there is we can just float over them. Three, we could go faster alone, not looking out for Runes." John replied, matching Er're step for step.

*Deep in the grand jungle which Strange had once called home, a storm was brewing.
Jan reclined on a rock in the ever-blooming cheery grove with a few of his closest apprentices. Jan and his four followers rested, a moment of idle time spent in contemplation of beauty. But their moment was not to be a happy one. There was a rustle, and a sour wind blew through the trees. Jan slowly took to his feet, as Sebath in all his twisted glory entered the grove, a smile platered across his face. He was followed by a score and a half of other mages, all in varying states of abomination. Jan's tired face turned into a frown. *
What is the meaning on this parade, Sebath? *He said as his apprentices slowly rose to their feet. They looked distinctly nervous. *
"You know what this in Jan. The tides have turned. We are the true heirs of strange, and we outnumber you. I am the leader of this forest now, Jan. You are not but a relic. "
*Jan's hands tightened into fists. The rings made of enhancement stones on his fingers began to glow slightly. *
Sebath, be reasonable. It is just the bloodlust in you talking. You know that strange would never want this. Don't make me end you.
"Pah! You are nothing but talk, Jan!. Now, move aside. I am claiming strange's works. I know they are buried in his grove, and I will over turn the entire thing to find them!"
You will not touch this grove, Sebath. You will take your carcass, and your filthy followers and get out of my forest. *Jan said as he clenched his teeth, and raised his hands. In a fair fight, Jan could demolish Sebath, there was no doubt of this.*
*Sebath would not fight fair though, not when he had so many followers.At a flick of his clawed hand, all of his followers lashed out, high Jan with a large burst of magic. Or at least they tried too. One of the apprentices threw his arm in front of his master, blocking some of the attack, and vaporizing half his body. Jan was still blown backwards. His apprentices leaped into actions, throwing spells at the crowd of abominations. The abominations promptly fired back, and a full blow magic battle was under way in a moment. Jan scrambled about, digging up the box which contained strange's notes and journals. He then leaped at his surviving two apprentices, bowling them over, and teleporting out of the forest...*
"Damned!" *Sebath yelled to the sky. *
"Oh well, all is not lost. " *He muttered.* "There is still the grimiore. But, where to look for it? "

Dark, leathery wings burst forth from Brunnex’ chest. “If I’m not back in a month expect me to be haunting you.” He said and turned running at the veranda and leaping off it in a show of random extravagance that could truly only be pulled off by a clone of Brun. He flew hard expecting to make it to Sardo by sun down...
***
Brunnex2 was quiet and careful watching s all of these things went on. He had murmured a thanks to John for saving him. He agreed that there must be a normal mage involved and that it couldn’t have been Balthazar. The rune work was too rudimentary.
He followed the others eager to kill Bahamut. He was sick of waiting around. He had come here to regain his immortality and he would do this no matter what.
***
Shang had looked over at Shilor during the fight almost expecting him to do something similar. Shilor had not replied to his obvious look. Shang had returned his gaze to the fighting ever increasing worry etching across his face as Faolin got more violent. A gasp of awe could be heard when Fen started to fight back. He was good. Shang wondered if he were that good. Surely if it came down to it he had more skills in other departments that he could use though he doubted still if Fen was that much better than Shang. Perhaps, he reasoned, he would challenge him to a sparring match tomorrow.
When Faolin asked him the question he didn’t quite know what to say. He was still angry with the Rider but when he looked up at Shilor he nodded. “Fine.” He answered shortly.

*Tourivil clicked his tongue as Brunnex flew away, and shook his head. He did not have time to dwell though. He had something very important to do. He had to learn to be a desertman. *

"As it is your plan John go ahead, its best I stay here with Rend in case of a surprise attack. Feel free to go with him Brunnex, two mages are better than one and the faster we get out of here the better." Er're hurried his pace slightly, the smell of freshness was growing stronger...
--
"What are your plans for the future, I mean. You must know by now that you are a Son of Brun, a great legacy has been bestowed upon you and I was wondering just what you planned to do with it, once this small trip is done of course." Faolin expected a interjection from Shilor, but it was only a 50/50 chance so he took the shot.

"Well, I best go right ahead then. If you wish to join me Brunnex, do so now, but if you wish to stay, I won't hold it against you. Neither would the king" John replied, adding the last sentence with a smile. He then started walking towards the wall. With a simple step he was walking up the wall, and soon he was walking upside down. Without waiting to hear Brunnexs reply, he was off. He sprinted down the cave, watching for signs of runes, and of any movement. His plan was for only one man after all.

*Upon travelling some 300 yards up the tunnel John would come across a large cavern, with a chunk of the cieling missing allowing in a dazzling amount of natural light. There was no sign of any life at all, being it of anything living in the caves or Erda.*
Er're smirked; "Well, if there's dragons ahead wanting to ambush us at least they might be caught off guard by his suddenness, or at least their hunger sated when they eat him."

Shang thought for a few minutes. He had only just found out about his ancestry. He had only just lost the person he had been planning on accompanying for years to come. “I guess I’ll just stay with Fen. He is my friend after all.”
Shilor did not interject. It was not his to create the path but to shield him from those obstacles who would threaten to bowl him over.
***
Brunnex2 rose up floating above the ground. And decided to go for the straight through the middles approach as only Balthazar could draw runes upon the air. Of course he went much slower than Brun not being muh further ahead than Er’re.
***
Brunnex flew toward Sardo at a leisurely pace scanning the ground below for people. It was not long before he spotted a carriage ambling towards the city at a leisurely pace. There was no driver and no horses to pull it. It would be accurate to assume it was some yuppie threllos riding in it.
Brunnex dropped down some ways in front of the carriage. Becoming a fair maiden he lay upon the ground letting some blood seep through his skin and onto his dress. The carriage, which had a little window at the front so the Threllos could see where he was going, came to an abrupt stop when he saw the fair maiden alone and bleeding in the middle of the road. He got out of his carriage looking around for any signs of bandits (as this was quite their favourite trick). There was nowhere to hide really so the Threllos decided it was safe and ran over to the girl bending before her placing his hand on her chest where the blood was hoping the heal her.
Of course that was the Threllos last mistake. Brunnex’ eyes suddenly opened wide and he grabbed the Threllos in a full body hug consuming him and, at the same time, becoming him in appearance. Shaking off his mini-orgasm he stood stretching his Threllos body. He was a Rank Three Ambassador for the King. Perfect, Brunnex smiled as he climbed into his carriage and set it in motion again.

Faolin eyed the snoozing Fen up as he spoke; "I see, and say, just for talkings sake, Fen was to get a vendetta against the King, or maybe start a rampage around Sardo killing whoever he saw fit. How would you feel about this?" In theory, if he was like his father anyway, these ideas shouldn't bother Shang in the least, Faolin was hoping he was not like his father...

Shang didn’t really have to think about it “Well if the King did something bad to him I’d help him take his revenge but if his revenge was pointless or the way he went about it was all wrong like that I’d try to talk him out of it.” He answered sincerely. Brun had been mad; Shang was still quite sane = A world of differences.

"I see, thanks for answering my questions Shang. It was most informative." Faolin was sated, for now. It was obvious Shang was not like his father, yet anyway.
