Dysis:
"On that note, I'd also like to acquire the service of the pair of sisters I've been speaking to. They know this region, are familiar with the people. And, we'd acquire another skilled warrior, as well as...well, how do I put this in the best manner possible?...a witch." She placed a consoling hand on Itylus' shoulder, knowing how he felt about practitioners of the darker arts. "Look at it this way, Itylus...she reveres Hecate. With your worship of Artemis, mine of Persephone, we'd have the complete trinity of moon goddesses. How could that be a bad thing-?"
"You want to hire a... what!?" asked Itylus, taken aback after hearing the word
witch. Then, after Dysis tried to console him with the Moon Goddesses trio, he pretended to throw a dark stare at the elementalist and muttered.
"Could be a bad thing if you consider that the other two goddesses represent the dark aspects of the Moon and the Night!..."
quote:
But, Dysis was serious when she added: "Bad is relative, isn't it? Some consider my art 'bad'. Magic, most magic, is much like your dagger. It depends for what it is used. 'Witch' is a harsh term...though, I've been called worse myself...but, they are said to have some very unusual powers. Things that enemies might be unprepared to face. That could be our advantage, in some tight spot. Anyway, the sisters are mercenaries, loyal to those who pay them. But, I know, we run this little troupe by vote. I won't try to push anything on you, or the others, that you're uncomfortable with."
"Alright then," said the hunter, now serious, to Dysis.
"If you deem that wit...," he paused
" magician woman... and her companion to be trustworthy enough, I'll trust your judgment, Dysis. I can't deny your arguments about her uselfuness, and of course, dark magic is not always synonym of a black soul as we have learned with you..." he paused, looking serious at the elmentalist.
"... However, as we know, that is the case most of times. So I'll still be keeping an eye on both of them. After all, even normal mercenaries are far from be the most trustworthy of the folks. And dark-magic wielding ones certainly don't inspire me anymore more trust and are certainly much more dangerous".
However this could be an opportunity for him to learn more about other types of dark arts besides the ones Dysis wielded. The more he knew, the better he would be at fighting against dark magic.
Arthanos:
"I apologise for interrupting, but since opinion seems to be to see if we can get the others to work with us, we may as well do something about that now. It looks like our other companion will be busy for the time being." he says and gestures towards the other noble. "I say we tell them we want to speak with them in the morning about them working with us, then get some rest." he remarks, then looks at Dysis. "Dysis, if you want to mention it to the ladies you spoke with, that would probably be quickest. Itylus or myself can speak to the Orkoi." he then glances back at the others to see if they had anything else to add. "Otherwise, I am going to go find a room and rest. This has been an exhausting day and this evening has not been much calmer."
"I agree. I can go tell the Orkoi that we'll inform him of our decision tomorrow while you go find where the are rooms are located, Arthanos." said Itylus to the nobleman that presented signs of exhaustion on his face. He realised now that, he himself felt bone-deep weariness. He wouldn't take too long falling sleep when he finally reached his bed.
