Chapter 5: A Party Broken and A Quest Renewed

[Sinen Darkchild]

"Details, I will give in full later on, but it is a quest to find an artifact known as the Fire Gem."

 Fools rush into battle blindly, but who is really the fool? The fool or the fool who follows him.

[Kim Sandrage]

Quote:"Details, I will give in full later on, but it is a quest to find an artifact known as the Fire Gem."

Kim choaked loudly on her ale.
"The fire gem is nothing more than a myth." She said loudly.

[Sinen Darkchild]

Hearing Kim's statement Sinen looked to the female.

"A myth based on fact. The Fire Gem is real. If you are interested you are more than welcome to come along as well. I will fill both of you in on details in a moment and offer proof of this artifact's existance. My name is Sinen if you've not already gathered that."

 Fools rush into battle blindly, but who is really the fool? The fool or the fool who follows him.

[Saekti]

" 'Some lies are truth, and some truths lie.' Pardon my intrusion but, what is this Fire Gem you speak of?" This was a tale Saekti had not yet heard, though it appeared many of the others had. An adventure! How exciting. Perhaps I should see if I can tag along. But first to learn of this Gem.

"No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit."
-Helen Keller

[Kim Sandrage]

Kim looked at the elf with some distrust. Her soul told her not to trust him but her heart was to attached to what he said about the Fire Gem. She would see his proof.
"Show me his proof then Sinen and I will judge wether this is nothing but a wild chase. The Fire gem story extends to most corners of the world" Kim turned towards the other female in the room. "I am suprised you have not heard it's story. But I will not spoil the suprise. If this elf thinks that he knows where it be then I can not and will not contradict him." Kim could not understand what her mouth was doing this was not a way to introduce herself to people what was wrong with her.
Unconsiously Kim was feeling the pendant on her necklace. Still unaware of the power it had over her soul.

[Bobbo the Beggar]

"Fire gem?"  said Bobbo, scratching his beard in thought.

He suddenly remembered the wicked fire druids that had captured Oscar, Lucirina, and himself in Thambalath long ago before Troas was overthrown.  He did not want anything to do with the druids again.

He leaned close to Sinen and whispered into his ear so no one else could hear, "This is not connected in any way to the fire druids, is it?  I had a rather bad experience with their order."

It seemed as though many people were taking an interest in Sinen's quest, and it seemed there would be a full-blown debate about to start soon.  Bobbo was never one for fairy tales, but he always was interested in helping people out.  Perhaps this Sinen fellow and his fire gem were important, as they seemed by the obvious interest of all who heard.

Bobbo sat back down quietly and listened.

[Fredrick Salvones]

Fredrick stood out side the building. As he went to open the door he heard a female talking about the..... Fredrick was shocked that was something he had not heard of in a long time. Opening the door he walked in and looked around. A group of people all looking at the elf except one who was obvoiusly intoxicated.
He nodded at everyone and made his way to a seat close but not to close to the group and listened in on the conversation.

When what you believe is a silly old man sitting down to tell you his tale it would be best to listen for you may learn something about yourself in his story.

[Kim Sandrage]

Kim looked at the man who had entered and nodded her head in return. Turning back to the men she stood up and walked over to them."May I join you?" Kim looked at them, realising she had not told them her name she smiled. "My apologizes but I have realised I forgot to introduce my self. My name is Kim Sandrage a Dark Priest from the Kasumarii." Her early viciousness had left her and now she was once again calm.

[Sinen Darkchild]

"Well, Kim, I believe I've mentioned my name already, but if not it is Sinen. Now, this Fire Gem was created many years ago by eight powerful mages of fire. To make a long story short, a man leading an army assulted the keep of the mages to lay hands upon the gem for his greedy self. The eight mages sealed the gem in a chamber with eight seals. The act consumed their life energy and facing oblivious death they transformed into the eight spirit dragons to guard the gem and to remove the seals for one worthy of such an artifact. This is my proof of the tale's truth." An orb of light seperates from Sinen's chest and hovers above the table before changing into a brilliant, many hued dragon measuring not bigger than an ale mug. "While he is only in an extremely reduced size form this is one of the eight spirit dragons, one of the eight keys to the fire gem."

 Fools rush into battle blindly, but who is really the fool? The fool or the fool who follows him.

[Kim Sandrage]

Kim stared at the dragon it was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen, intoxicating. Reaching her hand out she longed to touch it and feel her body with that light.

[Fredrick Salvones]

Fredrick watched as the female put her hand towards the dragon. However he could feel something inside telling him that the dragon would not react nicely to being touched.
He thanked god that he was quick on him feet, Jumping up quickly he pulled the girl away from it causing them both to tumble to the ground.
She looked at him in suprise.
"Don't touch the dragon, It doesn't feel safe."
he looked in to the girls eyes they looked on the front so much like his beloved however there was ice in them ice from years of pain and suffering.
"Are you okay?" Fredrick asked softly.

When what you believe is a silly old man sitting down to tell you his tale it would be best to listen for you may learn something about yourself in his story.

[Bobbo the Beggar]

Bobbo listened with interest to Sinen's story.  It seemed a little farfetched, but Bobbo remembered that his own life story could be considered the same.  

When Sinen brought forth the dragon, Bobbo was startled.  He peered at it curiously.

"So," he said to Sinen, "the key to getting into the Fire Gem's location is to find these dragons.  Is that what you are saying?"

"Also," said Bobbo, raising his arm to the table and pulling his ring off his right ring finger, "this ring may be in some way related to this Fire Gem.  I have heard that it too was made by fire mages.  It has the ability to shoot fire on a call from its wearer.  It is a family heirloom now.  I got it from my father."

He displayed the ring to Sinen, but was reluctant to let the man touch it, as he was with all people.

[Sinen Darkchild]

"Yes, the key to the fire gem is these dragons. My good sir, trust me, this dragon is not dangerous. At least not unless you are my enemy. That ring, Bobbo, may very well be connected somehow. We shall have to see."

 Fools rush into battle blindly, but who is really the fool? The fool or the fool who follows him.

[Kim Sandrage]

"are you okay?"
Kim looked up at the old man. She felt a bit shaken unsure what  had just happened.
"Im fine."
She saw him looking at her and felt her face colour slightly.
The man helped her up and she turned towards Sinen and the others.
"My apologies I do not know what came over me. How far would we have to travel?"

[Captain Shaendru]

§hændru walked over to Sinen just then,and stared at him with an icy stare.
"What do ye be knowin' about The Fire Gem lad?"
