Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Loren seems to be in a hurry and without warning she suddenly falls backwards, having crashed into Avalon. She rubs the back of her head and gets up, looking at Avalon curiously. "Gin Avalon, I presume?"
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Avalon stumbles back as Loren runs into him. "Ugh...sorry about that." He offers his hand to help her up. "Yes, I'm Gin Avalon. What's your name?"
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
As Avalon speaks to Loren, Onarav rounds the corner, spotting the two. "So you are here. It's been a very long time, brother."
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Cloud shakes his head at Loren and turns to see a man bearing an incredibly striking resemblance to Gale. Cloud takes a step back before regaining composure and whispering to himself. "Gale... No. It's E.Gin. The one I heard so much about. He is Onarav.."
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Avalon's voice drops to a near whisper. "Onarav.... You're alive." He steps forward. "It truly has been a long time, brother."
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
"Long indeed." Vorena stands behind Avalon, looking at Onarav through eyes that are narrow slits.
Loren looks at the three men, then smiles slightly. She glances at Cloud, smiling again, then disappears down one of the halls, heading towards the courtyard. |
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Onarav notices Vorena and his face makes an un-readable expression. "Vorena? Well I'll be damned. I never thought I'd see you again. Especially here. You have no dead sons to attend to."
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
"Perhaps not. However, my daughter is here and alive, so I am here to care for her." His tone is somewhat scathing.
Loren eventually finds her way to the courtyard and glances at Ayn and Lara through the barrier that separated them from the rest of the castle. She'd like to go in the courtyard, but she seriously doubted she would be let through. |
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Avalon looks back between the two of them. "Gentlemen, please. It's been too long, do we need to continue this fighting?" He turns to Onarav. "It's nice to see you again, please follow us into the library where we can talk easier. Or perhaps one of the other rooms? The throne room is quiet. Where would you like to go?"
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Onarav considers this. "There is much to discuss between us three, lead the way to the throne room."
__ Lara looks up at Loren blankly, but says nothing. |
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Loren only shrugs at Lara and turns to leave. She looks around for a few minutes before appearing in the library, where she has a seat on a nearby couch.
Vorena's expression doesn't change. "Very well, the throne room." |
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
He nods and walks to the throne room, passing the library doors. "So, Onarav, who was the girl you dragged with you here? A mistress?" He stops in front of the throne room door, opening it.
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Onarav laughs. "I actually met her at that Café near here. She insisted she tagged along. Though it seems she's taken, as she nearly killed a young man who persistantly hit on her."
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
"I see..." Avalon summoned three chair and sets them down in the middle of the room for them to sit in. The beautiful throne down at the other end of the room. "Shall we?"
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Vorena has a seat silently, arms folded across his chest. His expression is vacant and looking past his brothers.
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Onarav takes a seat and crosses his arms, eyeing his brothers. "We have much to discuss, but where to begin?"
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
He takes his seat after the other two do. "Where do we begin? That's a question unto it's own. I guess we can begin... Where have you been, Onarav? I'm ashamed to say I feared you long dead."
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Onarav shrugs. "After Gale 'killed' me it took a while to recover. Soon after I found my daughter, Rain and I stayed with her until Sin faded." He holds ups his ring, which has three small jems surrounding a large one. One of the three is a grayish color. "I tracked him down to Estecia and here I am."
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Vorena looks at Onarav, only appearing to be paying half-attention.
____ Ayn turned to see Loren before she left, then looks at Lara. "Who do you suppose that was?" |
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Lara shrugs. "I don't know. I've never seen her before..."
__ "I am curious as to what happened here, and why my son is dead. Could either of you enlighten me?" |
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
"So we all came here because of our children. Interesting... The ones we haven't spoke with for years brought us together." He turns to Onarav. "It seems Gale had a girlfriend, after she died he went over the edge. He tried to kill all of humanity; a group of people teamed up to stop him, some of our children included. One died at Gale's hands and Ayn murdered Gale. I don't know all the details, I'm sure some of the people in this castle can tell you better." He sighs. "Even more interesting, it was a man named Rand who told Ayn about her relation to Gale. I never met him before, have either of you?"
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Vorena winces slightly. "Rand.. Yes, I know of him. My wife and I worked with him back in the labs at Blythandor before he ran off with his Synthetic Demon project."
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Onarav doesn't say anything and only shakes his head. "I'm not surprised he'd get upset over some woman. That he got killed by a half-breed, now that's something I didn't see coming."
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Vorena snarls maliciously. "Don't you dare refer to my daughter in that manner."
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Avalon rises to his feet and commands in a strong voice. "There will be no fighting okay? No more. We're going to end this. No more insults, nothing like that. We will deal with this like men, grown men. We're some of the last living Abbis. Do we need anymore fighting?"
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Onarav shrugs. "I'm simply stating the truth. A purebreed was killed by a halfbreed. It's unheard of, ridiculous. If you want to get protective, go ahead Vorena. If it's a fight you want, I'll deliver it."Onarav then looks at Avalon. "I think we all want peace, brother. Unfortunately, the past cannot be forgotten. It must be settled."
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Vorena smirks and stands. "Very well then, brother. It is your pathetic elitism that destroyed the Abbissian race and your family in particular."
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Onarav's eyes flash in anger and he lets out a snarl, but he remains relatively calm. "And what fate would breeding with humans bring us? Our race would disappear!"
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
"It was your overzealous elitism that drove you to fall in love with that inbred Abbissian woman and create an equally sick group of children!" Vorena's hands begin to glow with a white energy.
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
"Better than a lowely human whore." Onarav stands and his ring forms into a very large mace. "It's clear that we cannot make peace until this is settled, so let it be done!"
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Vorena thrusts his hand into the air and from his glowing hand emerges a large blade of crackling holy energy. He jumps into the air, and floats there, looking down at Onarav and snarling. "Your move, brother."
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
With a snarl Onarav flies up towards Vorena and swings his gigantic mace effortlessly toward his brother's torso.
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
"Damnit.. Why do they have to do this now?" His voice roars. "Onarav! Your son is dead! Vorena! Your daughter doesn't even acknowledge you! My son is also dead! Don't we owe it to the survivors to stop this? I have already made my peace! If it wasn't for us, our children would still be alive. This is enough!"
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Vorena either doesn't hear Avalon, or is refusing to acknowledge him. He effortlessly slips away from the mace's way and swings his massive holy sword on top of Onarav's head.
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Avalon recieves no response from Onarav either as he nimbly dodges Vorena's sword and swings his mace again.
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Vorena's sword clashes with the mace, and he attempts to push Onarav back into the wall to pin him.
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Onarav will not have it and attempts to break the lock by kneeing Vorena in the stomach.
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Avalon's had enough. He mutters something unintelligible under his breath and spreads his arms apart. Both Onarav and Vorena separate and fly back to opposite sides of the room where Avalon hopes to bind them.
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Vorena snarls at Avalon. "Release us and let us settle our differences in our own way, brother."
|
Re: Gale's Castle (Part 2)
Avalon sits back down. "I'll treat you like children if you want. You two are acting like Gale and Ayn." He gives a small smirk.
