Private Tales Monsters

A private roleplay only for those invited by the first writer
Lilette did not answer right away.

Dead lungs pushed stale air through her nose, resembling a pensive sigh, and silent steps carried her along the light's edge. There seemed to be a barn at the edge of town, and that was now her destination.

"I wish I knew what becamest of them." she said wistfully.

"They stayest with me whilst I faded, but when I awoke, well..."

"Hm. I am still working out the particulars."

The vampire tugged her hood closer and pondered a moment.

"Disturbed as thine peace be, wilt thou journey elsewhere?"




 
"Hmm."

Orchid could not help but wonder what he might have become had he been so abandoned. The early months were so painful they passed in a blur of unsteady sensations.

"So is it revenge you seek, against you maker for abandoning you? That's what I should like if I was able but my dear mother put some witchcraft onto my being. I cannot harm her, at least, not as I am now."

Slowly he followed her, this fledgling which seemed both older and younger than he. Not that he was very old even by human standards.

"I suppose I will leave for somewhere else now. I wouldn't like to grow too comfortable. The post is, entertaining but I do find the nights get a bit longer the more I stay here, the days bleed into the mundane."

He let a brief silence fall before speaking again.
"Perhaps I'll go deeper into the desert, see what can be found in the sands."

"Ah, but therein lies the trouble thou see'th," breathed Lilette.

"Wert I abandoned or the one to abandon? I wokest to chaos, and ran."

Were they even alive long enough to abandon her? or maybe she'd... Lilette didn't dare finish the thought. She turned her gaze skyward, moonlight glinting off frowned lips.

"And thee? thou hateth thine maker, yet cannot bring harm to her at present? Art thou searching the means then? Tis a cruel thing, to be given hate for one's progenitors, but I suppose I understand."

"Truth be told, I always lookest up to mine brother more than I didst father."

She joined him in that brief silence for a moment, about halfway to the barn now.

"I make for Elbion." she confessed at last.

"To research mine condition, and with luck, find new kin."

"Mayhaps 'tis a good to start thine search as well?"





 
Brother was an odd word. What Orchid knew about his own *brother* was that after he was killed part of what was left was a key ingredient in his own construction but even he was not a natural thing. Monsters boiled down to make more monsters.

"The city of magic, hmmm."

It was as good a place to start as any he supposed. Where else might one uncover the mysteries of magic?

"In Vel Anir..."
He mused half to himself than his companion.
"Magic is a weapon first and foremost and Elbion is considered a place for weakling wizards and cowards who do not have the strength to take what they can."

Part of him, a dark and unyielding part that he owed to his mother's influence, wanted to test these college mages and see if the ethos of knowledge and peace through magic were equal to Anirian truths of power and dominance.

"I would not hold out much hope of vampires in the shining city."

His eyes cast out into the dark of the desert where no doubt untold mysteries lay. Cold and dead and waiting.

"Perhaps I could see for myself. The last time I travelled with company was a long time ago."
His sense memory brought the smell of oily face paint to his nose and a disdainful voice that he found he missed.

"It might be good for me and I can watch you during the day. You could tell me about your brother."

"Ah, what doth Anirians know?" she offered wryly.

"They callest mine kin 'tree huggers' and 'primitives', but still our woods stand free and proud. If might maketh right, surely the tongues of men who cannot conquer a few trees speak in lies."

The former elf wrested control of her bloody smirk while the boy continued on about what they may find, seeming to soften her features into something warmer.

"You... would'st do such a thing, for me?"

Lilette chewed her lip in thought, and what a new thought it was.

"I've uhm. I've not traveled with a companion who knew of mine affliction before. There is a half-elvish maiden with whom I willt rejoin in Maraan on our way, but she knowest not."

Stopping in front of the barn now, she glanced up at the hayloft door, flashed Orchid another warm smile.

"I've naught to offer thee save perhaps mine medicinal knowledge, or a hidden place of rest in yonder loft. But stories? Yes, I've ought to tell of mine brother, Godewyn."

"Canst thou travel by moonlight or dost thou sleepest like most?"
