<I am sure that Aeon would be willing to help with this.. if you would help her as well... we do need to eat after all.>

When taken to a private quarter and caught up she explains "Yes... I would join you save for my other duties. Autochthonia is a source of order that's grown out of balance and is growing to a frighting strength of power that U4 would use. It started with 3 sides I'm told... the number of sides have been increasing sense the dawn of time... now it's accelerating faster and faster and it is thought it will soon transcend such sides to only one... and become a sphere. We do not know what this will doe... but it can't be allowed.  ....  I was actually hopping you could help with that.... a stealthy ship could cut down on casualties, not that I am not willing to die for this but I do not want to see so many other people who are merely doing this for money to die for one of my mothers causes."

Concerned by her words but not fully understanding the meaning behind them. He did however understand the fear and worry behind them.

"Luci, I think we have found a job for you and your crew. Can you think of a stealthy ship our lovely friend her could use?"

With the jokingly talking to the room finished he turned to her with a serious face and said. "Can I ask one thing of you Ms Owusu, Do you possess the ability to send me to the spirit realm, or call a particular spirit for me. I need to have words with one called Léilóng, he was the one who said I was to witness what happened back at the station. After this I promise I will come back with you and help with the healing." he sighs and looks to the katana on his side, he was a man of peace at heart but so many souls had been lost. He needed to move forward with force so that others could be saved from whatever horrors these dark forces were planning. "I fear this is only the beginning and my part in all this has only just begun."

<I have integrated a stealth device and am capable of copping the spectral paters on my surface to allow simulation of physical invisibility.>

"So you found your dragon? The idea of the spirit realm is not so finite... there is simply a separation of spirit and flesh... out here it is not so much the case.... right now we are in the spirit world, on mars the spirit world engulfs the poles. As you would see it that is. There are many many realms all layered over each other, some take up the same space, others just lay over each other and have affects on eachother... it's all.... complicated. It is why navigation is valuable to all out here. I can help you get in contact with the spirit if you wish, I do not thin summoning it will be possible till you are ready to bind it. But I suggest you ask all that you will of it, once it binds with your flesh it will fall into a deep slumber."

"Right. Well I look forward to working with you Luci." He says with a smile, things were shaping up better now.

"Yes he did speech of a slumber. He also said he was going to share the stories of his people, so have much to talk about before the binding." Removes his pack from his back and the sword at his side, placing them at the side of the room. "So how do you get in contact with a spirit?"

"Meditate with me and I will help..."

She asks for the name and then sits down across from you, wrapping her wings around you as she starts to chant something sounding rather like an African tribal chant. It takes some time but a familiar mountain top scene is soon before you.

You are now alone with the dragon as he looks down to you.

Ah.... and who are you?

The beast you spoke of, I witnessed it level an entire city. We are currently still fleeing its wrath but we have survivors. If my experiences have changed me so much then so be it. I have also been shown more of the akashic record and my own past. Your guidance I believe had allowed me to do this. I come me offering thanks.

I remmeber as far back as before the sundering... I do not know what memeories are mine or those of my ansesters anymore though.  I remember seeing him before the imperium before Cain became cursed. My brothren spoke of him being around even longer  they say from before the sudering... there are those that whisper he caused it.... though I do not beleave this.  Others say he is Ixon the man who first slayed his own brother. Others say he was the first human driven mad by his lonelyness. Others say he was the first of your kind created by dark acts and the pure ones became avatars out of fear of what he may become. What I do know... he is the first to have contacted Grandmaw and her children and sell his soul and even his name for power.

You truly are wise great dragon. I fear that he is moving again, and that my path through this cycle involves this. One who shares the resonance type of the ones I battled before revealed to me that his master's plan is to stop the wheel and start it a new. My seeking revealed much to me about myself and my path. The more that is revealed to me the more it seems I am to do, I still seek your help with taking on the sin essence beasts but it seems that also this man behind the seat also has a part in all of this. You speak of the grandmaw and her children, what am I to look out for to find if they are involved in the plans I seek to stop?

They would not be a part of it, it is in derect oposition to there goals. The grandmaw, her children, the unamed, and his alies... they all wish to brake the cycle to end it for good.

Huoshui
Well I can take some comfort in that the grandmaw would not be involved. Your kind is old and you have the memories of them, part of my seeking I was part of a grand war between two towers. My uh... form... was that of a blue hermaphrodite. Did your kind witness this as well?

just now

^He seams strained some laying down into the clouds rubbing his head around his horns with his fore legs.^ You strain an old dragon with such old memories it is not easy to remember so long ago and I am so weak and I grow tired. *He sighs* But yes.... it was the time of what you refure to as the second fall... the distruction of Babalon and the formation of Quaf. Lucifer wished to free his army from it's prison so they may help user mankind into its new civilization and prepare them for  the coming of the red star. Unforantly grandmaw and her children had tained the angels durring Lucifers long recovery. Thus demons were born onto this world, the tower was qiuckly distroied to prevent them from physicaly passing into this world... but they were free and many had already manafested... some far to powerful be ended and they were bound to places and items of power... they became the Earthbound many speak of.  The demons constructed a tower of there own lead by the most powerful of the falen. They whanted to kill all the humans that they had fought and fell for.  There was a band of hero's that fought along side the weakened Lucifer to stop them.
just now

It was a short and brutal war that many died in, including my own kind.

"Then hopefully we will see eachother again soon.  I do not beleave you wish to weaken your friend, and will have truble finding an alternitive due to the dificutly of the task.

He beleaves Nerigal may restore his sword. The magic it takes to bind a spirit takes a grate deal of energy... to the fara this energy is not as easy to supply as it is to your kind. It would leave her weakened for months.

Huoshui
I bid you farewell and I look forward to our meeting again. I shall seek advice on Nerigal with her. Thank you Dragon as always it has been an education.

Returning from his journey still within the embrace of her wings. He looks at her and says "Thank you. The dragon has guided me once again."

Staring deep into her eyes he says but one word. In a more serious tone than she has ever heard him use "Nerigal."

She sits up and tilts her head some ears twitching lightly. "Guided.. Nerigal? .... We are going to.... he means the incarnation, well.... that is not an easy thing. I could take you, but he would prefer you go with out such guidance I think. He has a few names you might be more familar with.... Ares, Thor, Anhur, Akhnet... If you wish to see him you will have to travel to the (sothern/northern forgot which) pole and face his trails.... if you pass you will be given an audience. He is a warrior and respects strength... if you travel there you should not use your powers or hyper tech, he will look down upon this and send even more agent you. What ever faces you with violence you must answer with violence, and do not try and reason with your foes just end them... they are spirits and can not easily die in such such a way. Do not be fearful of him, but treat him with the respect of one that can end you with a glance."

He stares back at her his eyes burning with determination. "The dragon has again guided me to where my path must go, I am to seek the aid of Nerigal. He also told me that Kairos should meet with him, to repair his sword. When we reach mars, all I need then is for you to point me in the right direction. If he is a warrior I shall prove myself to him."

"I shall go as I am then. Use only the physical training I have gone through. My master taught me well enough to threat spirits will the respect they deserve." Placing one hand upon her shoulder. "I owe you a great deal and when I have met with Nerigal, I shall come back to you and we can go about sorting out this Autochthonia business. Seem fair?" The usual causal smile appearing on his face again. His recent experiences had left their mark on his soul, but he would never abandon a friend or leave a debt unpaid.

Rising up and holding his hand out to her. "Lets get you some rest, I am sure you need it. Do not worry about the patients, I shall help with that."

She shakes her head some "Nerigal's ream is a harsh one and the realm it's self will test you. For one the tempature during the day is below what your body can handle, durring the night... you may parish even with your magics, you should take a shuttle or the like and wait till the temperature rises from the rising sun to set out with your warmest of wears.  The inter realm is clouded in a terrible storm that covers it the snow storm will never let up and you must push through it, past the storm is the wall of ice made up of much the same as the dagger I gave you... it can be deadly. All this just to get there my friend, it is not an easy task you have chosen."

He smiles back to her "Léilóng requested that we do the binding with his help. The spirits deserve our respect, I shall respect his request. Besides he has not steered me wrong so far." He takes the wrapped dagger out of his robes, looking at it. "I shall have to wrap up warm then and wait to set off as the sun rises."

"I appreciate the concern but I have given my word and made my mind." he places the dagger back into his robes. "I shall suggest it to Kairos, if you wish to be there to help point out the dangers that would be fine."

"I would be best if you went unguided. Knowing the danger you face, and having some one lead the way through it are two different things. You seek his respect so you must earn it."

"Well we shall just have to go it by ourselves, Reply aggression with aggression to spirits who attack and to show the proper respect to him if we make it." he sighs lightly, he knew she only meant well. She just wanted him to fully understand what he was going to undertake. "It is a trial, I fully believe I can pass it. If I didn't I would find another means to do what is needed. I believe in myself, why can't you? Has not this trial been past by others?"

"Yes... I have passed it myself with my bow. But if you fail you will likely die."

"Then I shall pass it with my staff." he says with force as he knocks it with his foot so that it falls into his hand. "and Kairos with sword."

"If the staff fails me, then with fist I shall continue the challenge." He grips the staff tightly in his scarred and wooden fist. "You too must have been warned of the dangers of the task, you did not turn away from the challenge. Why?"

"My rage was never strong, I was sent to the grate warrior so I could find it, and I was learned other things from him as well... such how to turn my rage into blood ice."

"I cannot say I understand your kind but it does interest me how you seeked rage where my order teaches control of such things or even elimination of it. You must have found great reward then from doing this, I shall seek the great warrior and prove myself to him. As you and many have before me."

"We are kin, but we are also tainted by what you call the ebon dragon. We can never be rid of our rage, and even if we could we would no longer be ourselves. Besides rage powers many of the gifts the spirits teach us. We need our rage but with temperance and there are times it must be unleashed. All fera from the war are this way... some more than others."

"What one may call a taint another might call gifts. It is how someone uses what we have, not how we were given it." He smiles, "Some of my fellow monks may well disagree but not everything is so simple as black or white." He clenches a fist in front of himself "The very form of Do I practice, in many schools is banned or worse. It induces rage, incoherence and other such normally undesirable traits in the fighters, but we few have seen the merit in unleashing and targeting Zuì Quán."

he pauses for a bit, thinking "Fera of the war? Which war, did you fight?"

"I did not fight... I am talking about the war of rage, long long ago. It was a terable time when the gauru beleaved they where gaia's chosen warriors and found others meddling in 'there' affairs blasphemous and sought to wipe the other fara out ...but it was also due to the fact none of us quite stood right with the fact they were enslaving humanity. Some people think it's just a dog and cats thing but they do not know of the past. Much like they do not understand it in the birds nature to share our secrets..... it is not nature that shapes our actions.... but the past that shapes nature."

"Wars from long ago always leave scars. Kairos and myself have history in ancient wars." He meant more the one from his vision than the war between their traditions, but both were valid. He was sure it was Kairo's chi he felt back then, he would have to confirm it later. For now he couldn't be sure.

"Even if the wars were eons ago some souls reappear at several points throughout history. I am not sure how this affects your kind but our avatars cross several life times." something about pasts and souls reminded him about what Avarice had said.

"Rare fera breeds, would this war have been the cause of there being some that struggle to survive while others thrive?"

"Yes and the dominance of others.... I can see your curious abut some things... I'm guessing why I say we are kin... You have given me the name of a dragon, so I shall share this story.  Long ago when men still lived in caves and the avatars first sparks of life awoken in there eyes there was one of the early mages who used what he knew to craft weapons and summon fire... he lead his people and hunted for them taking down game no human had dared to even try to kill before. He had hunted sabbertooths even, but they did not stand to be hunted and the strongest of them stalked and hunted him in turn attacking him near his home in the darkness of night. It was a long and grouling battle that nether seamed to have the upper hand in.  While they battled though a horid beast grown fat and with terable power feasting on the blood of the wounded ebon dragon attacked his people.  The mage broke off from the battle to fight the horrid beast, and they fought but the fight was short lived as the wounds from the battle with the sabbertooth left it's mark. So the beast turned on his loved ones, but surprisingly the sabbertooth was in it's way and would not let the best by. They fought and soon the mage recovered and joined fighting side by side with his foe to slay the corrupted horror. In the end they prevailed, but they had taken fatal wounds both and while tring to return to the caved they both collapsed and died side by side... there blood pooling together."

She sighs taking a breath "Seline, high in the sky, had watched the whole ordeal and began to weep. The power of her tears mixed with the pool of blood and rose the two mighty warriors as one. However she did not notice that the blood of the beast and spread out and a stream of it had flown down into the pool mixing with the blood of the warriors, tainting there reborn body with it's unspeakable anger."

"This is our story... why we protect the moon as much as the earth as well. For unlike most fera, born from gaia's power, we were born of Seline's .... though from blood mixed with the soil of the earth we still owe much to the earth mother."

"That is a truly beautiful origin story. I am most grateful that you have shared it with me." He bows low to her in a manner of respect. "I am in the early stages of trying to be accepted into the Karmachakra, an subsect of the Kannagara sect within the brotherhood. Scholars of the wheel, collected and recorders of history and knowledge. So I am sorry if my curiosity offended you."

He raises his head back up and sighs with some sadness. "My path may not be allowed to be that peaceful however, but I still plan of studying the wheel, akashic record and continue to expand  my understanding of the universe and all things within it."

"Similar are our goals as gaia gave all fera a task. It is the task of the Bastet to keep the greatest of secrets from man till they are ready for them. Many do not trust us for many of us steal secrets, but we seldom share them."

"Some knowledge is too dangerous to be shared. I can understand how some can fear those who keep knowledge hidden. Many of the other traditions do not trust ours, seeing as we do try to keep to ourselves in our temples. Well thats the side of us that they see the most." he gives her a smile. "Seems I was right anyway, we do have much in common." One of his parents had also shown little respect to him due to his genetics, his mother was not the wife of his father. But he had shown him by earning the right to join the order.

"I shall keep your story secret as I hope you keep my dragon's friend's name. I know little of spirit magic but I am trying to learn, I have learnt that names are powerful things when it comes to spirits." Similar to how true names were important to western mages and apparently a breed of fera.
