"Ma'am.. I'm hardly a ma'am. Just a cripple. You.. should get going."
-
"I know." He looked to Camella, "I hope you can recover, quickly."
-
"Yeah.. um.." [i]Camella blushed a little, shrugging at that. She sat up, sighing.[/i] "You, uh.. get going, I guess. Thank you, though. For stopping by."
-
"I'll visit again, when I can," David promised. He really was starting to like her. Maybe not romantically, but she was a good person. He left her room. Amethyst followed, "I still think you like her." "I don't [i]like[/i] like her," David replied. "You keep telling yourself that, Mr. McNamara. How do you think your dad met your mom?"
-
[spoiler]Timeskip![/spoiler] [b]The Palace, The Council Room[/b] [i]David would find himself almost late to the meeting, while Armillion welcomed him freely. Though he still seemed angered - saddened, even.[/i] "David. Good afternoon. Take a seat, we're beginning soon anyhow.." [i]David would find that the seating of the table was.. most unique. A long table, but the inhabitants had already taken seats: a robed woman, elderly yet smiling as if she were a child, sat to the left of Armillion, while another, a middle-aged, dark haired man, sat next to her, adorned in political robes. Yet all the way at the end of the table, beside the aged man and yet, purposefully away from them, was a bearded man, jewelry and wealth lining his robes. Pontiff Latrans, Hyaenis the advisor, and Lupus the banker.[/i] [i]None sat across from Armillion, however, while an empty seat - no, two empty seats sat to Armillion's right. Where Arthur and Isabella would sit, likely.[/i] "Sit wherever you please. We need to start, anyway.."
-
David took the seat across from Armillion. "Alright," he nodded. He sat down.
-
"Alright.. Hyaenis?" [i]Armillion began, as the politician nodded.[/i] "The city's been locked down, entirely. Trade routes are cut off, caravans are being searched, alongside their passengers. A city-wide search is being lead, from the palace to the sewers. And yet, nothing." "Nothing, yet." [i]Armillion muttered.[/i] "...Could Julian's kidnapping and David's assault be related, though?"
-
David would speak, "It most likely would seem it would be. But... we have no evidence of any connection avalible."
-
"...Other than the dagger I showed you." [i]Armillion sighed.[/i] "It's as if a wealthy noble of Trayve instigated this." [i]His eyes studied Lupus and Hyaenis in general. While Hyaenis met his gaze calmly, Lupus would only stare at the table, before speaking.[/i] "Or it could be a framing, simply put."
-
"He raises a fair point. Those cutthroats will do anything, to gain power. Including framing. You look awful suspicious there, Lupus," David would note, "On the flip side, I think we all know their motive. Eliminate the heirs, then the guards, then you, Armillion. If they ask a ransom for Julian, I'm willing to bet it will for you give up your throne."
-
"[i]Suspicious[/i]?" [i]Lupus sighed, his green eyes staring upon the Titan.[/i] "Suspicious, hmm? Not a day after you arrive, and all of these events occur in the hour or two that you were present. I would have you know, I have nothing to gain from.. regicide." [i]He murmured, looking at Armillion.[/i] "These scoundrels want to separate us. If we keep infighting, they will." [i]Armillion announced.[/i]
-
"Armillion is right. If we keep b*tching and pointing fingers, they'll have more chances to attack," David agreed, "I regret pointing my finger at you, Lupus, during this matter."
-
"[i]Thank you[/i]. That means so much." [i]Lupus sarcastically remarked, while the lady Pontiff would clear her throats.[/i] "Even the songstresses have no foretelling of Julian's fate. All that we have is the knife.." "A ransom is coming. That's how kidnapping works." [i]Armillion closed his fist, while Hyaenis silently took notes in the background.[/i] "But if they seek to eliminate my heirs.. Arthur's disappearance, Freya's injury, Niki and Oliver kidnapped, now Julian.. Isabella would be next."
-
"Ní bhíonn Knight Glas ar iarraidh, tá tú ag iarraidh," David muttered under his breath. [spoiler]Translation: Green Knight [Oliver] is not missing you morons.[/spoiler] "I told you, they want Armillion's throne as their ransom," he replied.
-
[i]While Latrans and Lupus payed the murmuring no mind, Armillion remembered it from earlier, while Hyaenis clearly noticed it. He recognized the language, but didn't openly admit it.[/i] "Then what? Do we just wait?" [i]Armillion muttered.[/i] "No. I'm taking action." "Sending innocents to die isn't action, it's stupid." [i]Lupus muttered.[/i]
-
Edited by Splashback77: 1/21/2018 1:13:57 AM"We can't send innocents in. But we can't sit around. The symbols on the dagger can either mean who made it, or who it was made for. Well, I'm not sure which one because I'm not really from around here."
-
[i]Hyaenis would nod towards David then, as the rest of the council fell silent. He had an interest for the man and the dagger. Perhaps he could help.[/i] "Gods help us now.." [i]Armillion muttered.[/i] "I'll need a messenger. This council is temporarily dismissed. Isabella needs to know."
-
David looked to Hyaenis, [i]Maybe he can help....[/i] Suddenly, a dalmation-patterned pegasus bursted into the meeting. "What. The. F*ck!" David yelled. The equestrian seemed skittish, and tired, as it whined and bucked. Amethyst appeared, "I hate to admit this, but I understand horse."
-
"[i]Seven hells[/i]-" [i]Armillion yelled, as the Lionknights in the room drew their swords. Though while Latrans seemed shocked, and Lupus merely observing, Hyaenis stood.[/i] "Hold!" [i]He yelled at the knights, who sheathed their swords.[/i] "...Now.. what exactly [i]is[/i] a pegasus doing here?"
-
David's hand reached for the Dark-Drinker. The pegasus would lie on the ground, writhing in pain, and shifting, until ot was no longer a pegasus. But, a man in seemingly lanky old Middle-Ages knight armor from Earth, and a cloak that was a wolfskin, with a wolfhead for a hood. "Oh Traveler... that dragon. That little psychotic elf lady... that damn dragon..." he cursed, panting. The man sounded younger, even younger than David. "Who are you?" David asked. "Fabio," the man panted, "I was supposed to infiltrate Khaom... until psychotic elf.... released that dragon..."
-
"Psychotic elf.. Charla." [i]Hyaenis muttered, looking at Armillion.[/i] "Charla. Releasing a.. dragon? But.." "[i]Treasonous whоre![/i]" [i]Armillion yelled out, while he certainly didn't show any mercy to Fabio.[/i] [spoiler]RED ZONE. Though it's really unlikely that you screw up, lol.[/spoiler] [i]The hulking man stomped over and grabbed Fabio by the throat, lifting him up with only one hand. Even as he was aged, Armillion was terrifically strong, as Latrans cried out, Hyaenis setting down his books.[/i] "Sir, this is no time for death!" [i]Meanwhile, Lupus leaned in his seat, smiling.[/i] "[i]Silence![/i] I want answers. Now! Why did you let her free Ragnarok? Why is she not dead? [i]Where is my daughter's companion, Traci[/i]? Tell me, damn you!"
-
"Beating... the shit... out of elf... and the dragon...." he croaked, "I... know... other information..." David raised his eyes, and looked at Fabio. "Má deir sé rud ar bith faoin áit a bhfuil mo mháthair, beidh mé ag fulaıngt orm féin," he muttered. [spoiler]Translation: If he says anything about where my mother is, I wil f*cking smite him myself.[/spoiler] "Whoa, David. Calm down," Amethyst warned. "Luaigh an fučk síos? D'fhéadfadh sé a fháil amach cá bhfuil Sarah agus ridire uaine!" He whisper-yelled. [spoiler]Translation: Calm the f*ck down? He could know where Sarah and green knight [Oliver] is![/spoiler] "Well, they're going to f*cking know if you don't stop talking about it in your native language," she whispered back.
-
[i]While Hyaenis was still heavily intrigued, even understanding of David's angered yells, Armillion only grunted and then threw Fabio to the solid ground, stepping back and allowing the shapeshifter to rise.[/i] "Speak, damn you." [i]The king murmured.[/i]
-
Edited by Splashback77: 1/20/2018 8:49:36 PM"I know where the bastard [i]really[/i] is," Fabio spoke, "I can tell you where he is, and show you for the right price?" David jumped at the Hunter, holding his sword at Fabio's throat. "Even though your mother that was in the Dojo was not the one from your timeline, you're still a Momma's boy," Fabio noted. "I'll slit your damn throat if you don't shut your mouth, bean farmer," David warned. "Oh don't worry, big buff, cream puff, I'll only going to asking for double my last offer," Fabio muttered. "How do you know?" David demanded. "Grey may be clever, but her Ghost, not so much. Didn't lock up the private channels good enough. Centauri was able to eavesdrop with ease."
-
"Then speak." [i]Armillion's tone was cold and ruthless, for Oliver was his son. Yet David could see something within the lumbering giant of a man. Something.. that suggested that he wouldn't let Fabio live.[/i] [i]He was going to kill him.[/i]
