A Dark Wanderer

[Altonas Arken'neld]

Silently in the night footsteps went walking along the road. He could not be seen but then again that was one of his perks. He kept walking along the road until he stopped by the Inn and looked at it. He sighs"Usstan usieva nindol orn xun."He walks up to the door of the Inn and grabs the handle. He opens up the door and walks in, He closed the door behind him as he scanned the main lobby. When he made sure that no one was there to attack him he started to remove his piwafi."Nindol k'lar zhah yugho z'lonzic."

It was then you could see what he was wearing it was purple and gold. It was intricately designed with gold trim. It looked like battle armor made in cloth. More or less it was made for a battle mage of high status. He folds his piwafi then puts it over his right forearm. As his red eyes scanned the lobby he sighs in relieve as he sees the bar."Usstan kestal nindol k'lar 'zil fol bwael jhinraen."He walks over to the bar and takes a seat.

[Emilia]

Emilia was in a mood for a walk and was heading downstairs. She stoped on the landing when she saw the drow. She stood back for a few moments and then sighed. From the looks of his robe he was probably from a noble house, this was going to go one of two ways, he was going to be polite or he was going to be really rude.

"Hello, are you in need of help? I can find someone to check you in."

[Altonas Arken'neld]

"Ou'tix siyo......."He started to turn to the direction of the voice when he saw the person the voice was coming from he groaned. "Zhennu natha kitrye bred Darthiir nindel zhah jal Usstan ssrig'luin." But he was on above ground so he should have been used to it by now. But that is never going to happen. He sighed again "Ou'tix siyo, Usstan tlun lorith whol natha bar ser drill 'zil ol loren saph." He waves his hand in a sweeping motion to show the the other end of the bar was empty. "Gaer 'udtila naut kluth tlu uss bauth a l' klew'ar." He had a look of distaste on his face but what could he do. He was in an Inn on the surface they have Darthiir everywhere here even half breds.



(Actually yes.......
Great a half bred that is all I need.
Actually yes, I am looking for a bar keep but as it looks like.
There does not seem to be one around at the moment.)

[Emilia]

She looked at him and shook her head, she was almost saddened by the fact that some people couldn't over look someone's race.

"I may not understand all of that you said but I know kitrye bred, that I may be but at least this half bread's other half is a God."

[Guest]

Tasha's stomach told her that she had forgotten to eat all day again. It had become a very bad habit of hers. So she changed out of her sweat pants and torn up t-shirt. She donned a short blue skirt, plain suede, and a matching blue bustier. Slipping on a pair of matching suede heels she headed out of her room.

She headed down to the employees room first. She knocked on the door and when Jorge answered she smiled. "I actually need to eat something before my stomach eats me, can someone come down with me in case Armandeus is not in the kitchen? I don't actually have kitchen privileges." Jorge nodded and closed the door behind him joining her on her way down to the bar and kitchen.

They got down on the bottom floor and Jorge headed for the kitchen to see if Armandeus was there while Tasha made her way over to a barstool to wait. She saw Emilia and smiled. "Emilia, nice to see you again." Then she turned to the man to her other side and smiled as well.

He was obviously Drow, and of some importance as well. She thought for a moment before she spoke, had to make sure she said exactly what she was trying to say, not mess anything up. "Vendui ush'akal, lu' al'doer. Zhah gaer folbol udos shlu'ta xxizz dos xuil?" She hoped that was right. If not, she might have to call in Venis.



((Hello sir, and welcome. Is there something we can help you with?))

[Altonas Arken'neld]

He stares at the half bred tilting his head to one side and stares at her. He then notices that the aura around her was different then a mortal it did give off a slight glow of a god. "Usstan apologize, Usstan tlun naut used ulu having phraktos lu' quar'valsharessen bauth. Rak'nes uss d' dathiir arlathil.". He then looks at the new person that has come. She was human or so he thought.

When he hears her talk in his language his eyes widen and he laughs. It was a hearty laugh evil but a hearty one. He then gets up putting his piwafi on the counter as he walks over to her and bows. "Siyo foluss nindel telanthen l' seke xanalress. Usstan commend dos ussta d'anthe. Ol zhah ji yugho ulu nym'uer l' xanalress nindel Usstan inbal naut nym'uerus wun natha verve draeval." He smiles as he talks to her."Al 'zil Usstan said p'los dos doerrus harl Usstan zhahus hoping ulu inbau natha drital drill alas gaer zhah nau bar ser bauth ulu kla'ath l' drital."

(I apologize, I am not used to having gods and goddesses around. Especially one of dathiir nature.
Yes someone that talks the true language. I commend you my dear. It is so nice to hear the language that I have not heard in a long time.
Well as I said before you came down I was hoping to get a drink but alas there is no bar keep around to serve the drink.)

[Emilia]

She looked at him.

"I'm sorry I do not understand what you are saying."

She caught a few words here and there she knew he used the word for calling her a surface elf a traitor. She was becoming agitated but she kept it under control.

[Guest]

Tasha looked over at Emilia. "He said he apologizes, that he is not used to having God's and Goddess' around, especialy ones that are ..." She stopped and turned her head to look at the man as she spoke the last word. "Traitors." She furrowed her brow then looked back at Emilia. "Now that he knows you are a Goddess, he will be a little more polite Emilia, I'll translate anything I need to for you."

She looked back to the man. "Dos orn tlu mzild rnahm, siyo?" She smiled at the man again. "'zil whol l' drital, l' nesst vel'uss fridj alus wund l' kitchen zhal'la yutsu wun natha klew'ar, uk shlu'ta inbau dos natha drital." She slowly lowered her lids and gave a slight bow of her head before speaking again. "Dos bel'la uns'aa xuil dosst commendation. Usstan bel'la dos, kl'aein dosst xanalress zhah l' mzulst Usstan shlu'ta xun." She smiled and waited for Jorge to come back out of the kitchen, ready to keep the peace between the two on either side of her.


((You will be more polite, yes?
As for the drink, the man who just went into the kitchen should return in a moment, he can get you a drink.
You honor me with your commendation. I thank you, using your language is the least I can do.))

[Emilia]

She nodded to the drow.

"I accept your apology, My name is Gilraen Telrúnya now if you will excuse me I was about to go for a walk."

She looked to Tasha.

"Thank you for the translation, but I am sure he speakes Common just fine."

[Beastie]

He was in the process of making plans, plans that would change many things for him and his new found daughter. But he needed sustenance. The big beastie stepped into the front room on his way to the bar and stopped. A Dark Elf? Here? This did not bode well for him.

There was Tasha and Jorge. He did not recognize the other lady, and he was not as in tune with all the deities as many were. So he did not recognize the lady for what she was.

He looked at the Drow and nodded a greeting. "Vedui' aterruce d'lil Har'oloth. Tlu kyone xuil nindel uss. Il 'udtila tril lu' ol zhah mzilt mzild hurtful t'yin ilta growl. P'los dos joros, 'zil Usstan tlun natha kitrye bred. Natha b'vecko uss ke."

He stopped and thought about it a moment then said, "Ol zhah b'vecko whol natha ilythiiri tlu wun l' harsh ssussun unless nind ph' hunting. Vel'bol xor vel'uss xun dos tah? Lu' vel'klar zhah l' v'dre d' dosst party? Xor xun dos detholar ulu tah maglust?"

He awaited an answer, not really expecting a true one.


(Greetings creature of the Underdark. Be careful with that one. She does bite and it is much more hurtful then her growl. Before you ask, as I am a kitrye bred. A strange one indeed.

It is strange for a drow to be in the harsh light unless they are hunting. What or who do you hunt? And where is the rest of your party? Or do you choose to hunt alone?)

[Guest]

Tasha smiled. "You're welcome Emilia. Have a nice walk." She turned her attention back to waiting for Jorge and just as he came from the kitchen, she heard Dre. She should have just stayed in her room and ignored her stomach. She wasn't mad at Dre, per say. But she wasn't in the mood for palling around either. In fact, she was not in the mood to leave her room much at all any more.

He spoke to the Drow that was near her. His warning to the man about her left her no choice. She had to smile. That was such a wicked thing for him to say. She pressed two fingers to her lips and then reached behind her and patted her cheek. She knew that she was going to have to stick around for a bit and make sure that no war broke out, after all, the Drow had no idea who Dre's mother was yet. The Drow. She hadn't even asked the man his name yet, or for that matter offered her own.

[DrDonaldBlake]

Doctor blake was on his way down to the bar before a nice shift back at his old clinic. and was even dressed in all the finery of a doctor. khaki pants, a button down that was tucked in and even a tie, which wasn't really pushed tight up to his neck, at least not yet. over the ensemble he wore his lab coat, name emblazened on the right, and on the left, was his name badge.

'Donald Blake:Neuro Surgery'

He wasnt favoring his walking stick this morning but he was holding it. and when he heard the languages that he didnt understand comming from the bar he paused in his approch.. and listened for a second before slowly making his way in.

"The uh, bar is open... right? nott too early or anything?"

[Guest]

Kyra wanders down from her room and sees a gathering in the bar. Still a little sleepy eyed she yawns as she walks in seeing her dad standing there talking to a man. She was pretty much hidden behind the man who walked in before her so she moves to where she can get a better view. Not understanding what her dad said she moves over next to him and puts her hand up to his to let him know she was there. She whispers to him.

"Dad what's going on? Everything ok?"

She looks up at him and waits for an answer.

[Madeline Cauthon]

Maddie having just left Venis and Lord Kahn, she saw her friends Kyra, Dre, Tasha, Em, the handsome Doctor, an a new creature.

Maddie snuck up behind Kyra andwhispred in her ear. "What's going on?"

[Guest]

Kyra jumped a little getting snuck up on but looked over her shoulder to see it was Madeline and she shrugged. Whispering back to answer Madeline.

"I don't know...trying to find out from my dad."

[Madeline Cauthon]

Maddie smirked. "If anyone can, Scaley Butt can." Maddie knew Dre would here but she couldn' help it.

"Listened I have to go check in with my Dad, seems I left a few days before we left for the castle. I'll explian later." She gave Kyra a quick hug, and walked off to find Gawain.

[Guest]

She nodded to her and returned the hug and whispered.

"Be safe and I will catch up with you later. I need to talk to you anyway soon."

She turned back to Dre and watched and listened.

[Guest]

Tasha sighed for a moment. For the middle of the night, this place was rapidly becoming a hub of activity. Now Emilia, she understood, she kept as odd of hours as Venis and herself. Dre, well, he never seemed to sleep. But now so many other people were coming around that she was beginning to wonder if she was going to have to start having the men deliver her meals and drinks. Because even in the middle of the night she was finding herself surrounded by people.

She looked at the Drow once again. She smiled her best fake smile and again spoke. "F'sarn taudl, lu'oh kke d' uns'aa. Ussta kaas zhah Tasha. Zhah ussta abbil ditronw? Ph' dos hunting maristo? Xor fridj doeb whol natha stroll? Lu' 'zil feir 'zil ussta tril ..." Said with a wink to Dre. "Al, ori'gato's fridj telanth Usstan'bal alus ulu wearing natha muzzle. Vel'bol orn'la dos saph ulu drital? Dorn quarth whol dos." She was trying to not let the crowd get to her. But she seemed to be working on a serious case of agoraphobia.



(("I'm sorry, how rude of me. My name is Tasha. Is my friend right? Are you hunting tonight? Or just out for a stroll? And as far as my bite ..." "Well, let's just say I've gone to wearing a muzzle. What would you like to drink? I'll order for you."))

[Beastie]

He looks down as he feels a hand touch him. He misled as he saw Kyra, after shooting a "Yeah right you are muzzled," to Tasha.

"Hey sweetie. Yeah everything is alright. Just talking to a new guest. As of now we do not know if he speaks as we are right now. Better known as Common. So just talking with him in his own tongue is all." He flashed her a smile. "Would you be a dear and head to the forge to take down the vacation sign and make sure the fires are lit and such. Make sure we are ready to get back to business. Take Maddie if you want. I will be along shoortly." He gave her that look of 'please do not argue with me right now'

Kyra got the hint and nodded. She then headed off to the forge to get things in shape.

(charrie NPC'd with permission.)

[Altonas Arken'neld]

He looks over to the half goddess Emilia and smiles. “Yes I can speak common and just because I can does not mean I have to since it is not the true language.” He spoke with class, elegance and yes even with an accent. He looked back at the lady with the red hair that was called Tasha by the half goddess. “Siyo Usstan orn tlu mzild rnahm yol dos aske'th.” As he heard that there was a man kitchen would be able to get him a drink he put his hands together and smiled. “Bel'la dos nindel orn'la tlu zhennu. T'yin Usstan orn'la saph natha yugho jhinrae.” He nodded at the last thing she said about using his language. “Lu' Usstan bel'la dos 'sohna. Ol uriu tlus natha while yol Usstan inbal nym'uerus ol saph Usstan said p'los.”

He heard another person come walking into the bar area and this person made his eyes go wide. He didn’t show fear hell he has seen things in the Underdark that would make some people cringe. When the creature started talking he tilts his head a little and smirked. “Usstan bel'la dos whol l' greeting. Ji vel'bol, ka l' fair jallil dyunhk ulu tril? Usstan tril rath.” As he looked at the creature he could that this one was also part god. With that knowledge he bowed slightly greeting the half god. He sort of chuckles at the second comment the creature made. “Vaen draeval Usstan checked ol zhahus isto doeb ji l' harsh ssussun 'udtila naut affect uns'aa ji. Lu' 'zil whol hunting Usstan tlun naut hunting jaluss xor jalbol.” He turned around fully to the creature and opened his arms. “Xun dos honestly talinth nindel Usstan orn'la ssrig'luin natha hunting party? Usstan xun naut talinth ji bwael ush'akal.” After that he put his arms back down and turned back around to the red haired lady.

He saw another person come into the bar this one looked human and he looked intelligent when he asked if the bar was open he waved his hand over at the bar. “Al ush'akal 'zil dos shlu'ta kyorl gaer zhah nau uss ghil a l' klew'ar drill nindol fair jallil telanthen nindol person dal l' kitchen nindel zhah aluin ulu inbau uns'aa natha drital lu' Usstan talinth l' toha person orn'la tlu izil ulu inbau dos natha drital 'zil al.”

He was looking at the people around him still wondering why there were some many people up in the middle of the night. He heard a female voice, as he turned around he could not see from where it was coming from. He tilted his body a little and looked down to see this three foot tall female with wings. His eyes showed curiosity. He has heard about fairies but has never seen one. He shook his head it was an odd creature but he has seen odder things. He saw another person come up but this one was not there to talk to him so that was fine with him. He saw her say something to the fairy and then she left. He just shrugged as he looked around again at the red haired lady. He looked at her and he noticed something was wrong maybe it was so many people around but who knows. She finally introduced herself to him so he was inclined to do the same.

He takes a step back from her and puts one arm out and does a formal bow. “Ussta kaas zhah Altonas Arken’neld d'lil drada qu'ellar d' Arken’neld wun l' ilythiiri che'el Ullin'Tharnor ol zhah natha ssrigg'tul ulu morfeth dosst acquaintance ussta d'anthe.” He stood back up and shook his head. “Nau ussta d'anthe Usstan tlun naut doeb hunting….naut maristo. Lu' ele ussta fair jallil orn'la dos tlu wearing natha muzzle? Lu' Usstan orn'la saph natha yugho gareth vesss jhinrae qualla.” It was then he finally saw that Tasha was getting nervous around so many people and frankly he did not like so many people himself. “Ji ussta fair jallil orn'la dos saph ulu jous uns'aa bauth vel'drav Usstan inbau ussta drital?” He started to look at the creature talking to he called daughter. It was weird that a creature like that would have a child that was only three feet tall. But hey he as seen weirder and with that he saw the three foot tall lady start to leave.

((Yes I will be more polite since you asked.

Thank you that would be great. Then I would like a nice wine.

And I thank you again. It has been a while since I have heard it like I said before.

I thank you for the greeting. So what, if the fair lady likes to bite? I bite back.

Last time I checked it was night out so the harsh light does not affect me so. And as for hunting I am not hunting anyone or anything.

Do you honestly think that I would need a hunting party? I do not think so good sir.

Well sir as you can see there is no one here at the moment but this fair lady says this person from the kitchen that is going to get me a drink and I think the same person would be able to get you a drink as well.

My name is Altonas Arken’neld of the second house of Arken’neld in the drow city Ullin'Tharnor it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance my dear.

No my dear I am not out hunting….not tonight. And why my fair lady would you be wearing a muzzle? And I would like a nice strong smooth wine please.

So my fair lady would you like to show me around when I get my drink?))

[Emilia]

She nodded to the man.

"Then you may call me Emilia."

With that she turned and left, she went out for her walk.

[Guest]

The crowd was shrinking, and shrinking fast. And with each person who left the more comfortable Tasha became. Emilia left, then Maddie didn't stay, then Dre's daughter Kyra left. That left her, the Drow Altonas, Dre and the Doctor. If he said his name, she didn't catch it. She had been too busy fighting back a panic attack. Something new for her to experience.

Jorge was running back and fourth from the kitchen. "Tasha, I can take your food up to your room and you can reheat it when you get back up there. I'll get the drinks and then I have to go finish packing, I hope that's alright?" He set a mug on the bar for her knowing what she was going to be drinking, and he set one up for Dre as well in case he was going to order a drink.

Tasha looked at him and smiled. Another fake smile, she was getting good at this. "Altonas would like a wine, something strong and smooth. Doctor, what can we get you? And yes, Jorge, once we have our drinks you can take up the food and finish packing, it's fine. You could have sent someone else down if you were busy." She returned her attention to Altonas and Dre, and yes, even the Doctor.

There was a time in Tasha's life when this would have been a very happy moment for her. Right now, it was just a crowd. She would do her best to fight away the sudden urge to flee the room. She was fidgeting with the ring upon her left ring finger she had yet been able to bring herself to take off. "Ol zhah natha ssrigg'tul ulu thalra dos Altonas, lu' Usstan orn'la tlu mzild taga loff'ta ulu jous dos bauth."

She picked up the mug of ale that Jorge had poured her and took a drink from it while he searched for the perfect wine. She looked over at Dre and then over at the Doctor. "If you gentlemen will excuse us, in one moment I am going to give Altonas here a tour of the place. Well, as much as I can at this hour of the night." She took another drink of her ale.



((It is a pleasure to meet you Altonas, and I would be more than happy to show you around.))

[Beastie]

He nodded to the newcomers, after sending Kyra off. He watched Tasha for a moment. Maybe a moment to long. But he did take the mug that Jorge offered him, thanking him.

"That is alright. I am about to leave myself. Have plans to set in motion and a move to think about. Enjoy the tour and the company Altonas. Welcome to the Inn."

He also looked at the Doctor. Interesting. He nodded. "Enjoy your drink. Maybe I shall see you all around."

With that he turned himself and left. Not giving a second glance back.

[Guest]

Tasha watched as Dre took his offered drink and then said he was off, something about plans and a move. She did well to keep her face blank of reaction. But inside was a different story. "See you later Dre." And he left without even looking back.

She turned as Jorge set a glass of wine upon the bar. She smiled again. "Have a good night Doctor. Altonas, Ka dos ph' kr'athin, ol zhah drill natha bista tour. Goodnight Jorge, and thank you again." She slid off the barstool and motioned towards he back of the Inn, the direction of the Meeting Hall and Lounge.


((If you are ready, it is but a small tour.))

[DrDonaldBlake]

Doctor blake was very good at pretending he knew what people said so the drow was offered a nod and a smile. as well as an "Evening" and by that time Tasha had offered him a drink, and so he approached the bar. taking a seat not far from the man.

"How're you tonight?forgive my saying, but I'm not really familier with your language there sir, sounds interesting though, I've always enjoyed hearing new languages spoken. I'm rather fluent in Norwegian myself. " A smile and then a nod as Tasha and the other people Departed."good night guys.. I'll probably catch you later." and then the dark elf man."It's really a bit of a hike, the gym is aaaaaaallll the way down on the other side of the building, nice Gym though you should check it out."
