Ghaleon sighed, Looking over each of them taking in so much. He didn't even bat an eye when his longest friend questioned his motives for addressing Lilith's disloyalty in front of the others. He was making a statement, in ways, to the rest of the group. This Impulsive yet educated man would not stand for shaky knees in weeks to come. He needed everyone at the top of their games. As both vero and Claire spoke about splitting up, He nodded."That we will... We are taking all of the money before we kill the King." He said softly, His eyes twitching ever so softly as his mind began to betray his intentions. "After all, With the brigade and Derelicts already heading toward them... We need to clean them out... And quickly... I'm not looking to start a war..." He said softly, His mind going over the 15 circles. With each circle his eyes rested over. His mind sang the factions of who owned the gold. And none of them were royalty.<br/><br/>He smiled and listened to each ladies words of input and nodded, Only to smile as they all left heading outside, speaking out to delphine as she left to check on felly and claire."We will leave at dawn. Be ready Delphine, For you and Felly will be coming with me." He said softly as he sat down and listened to vero's lies."Brave... Hardly... You are Taking Claire... The two of you should have no problems what so ever, What with your feral Ways and her tenacity. You leave at dawn... We will travel together for the first two, Then after that, We branch off to destroy all the others. We can't let them take the Kings money. It's ours." Yet another verse that wouldn't sound right to Vero, and rightly so. Ghaleon was lying... If vero had been paying attention, He would have noticed that the entire unveiling of the map had been one lie after another. The Three Factions were going to be a huge problem on this job, but Ghaleon was mum to everyone as to the nature of their involvement.<br/><br/>Ghaleon's eyes looked to meet Vero's own, A deepness not seen in quite sometime. The willful and proud leader was using everything in his being to convey one message to his brother in arms."Vero... I trust you to keep her safe... Guard her with your life... No Sarcasm in your answer, No words of Subterfuge to mask the truth. I need you to speak in honesty... If I remember correctly, One word will not be enough to do any permanent harm. So answer as shortly as you can... Do I have your word that she will be safe till we reach the castle in lucestra?" He waited for the some word of truth before standing to his feet and stepping outside to be with his Group.<br/><br/>Upon reaching the outdoor area, his eyes fell on felly."Felly, You will be in my team, along with Delphine. If Your necromancer, Or Anyone for that matter comes after you, We will protect you with our lives... That is what families do..." He said softly."As such, Claire.. You will be going with Vero When we eventually Split up. The first two are being taken down together..." He thought to the ring of keys in his coat pocket. Everyone seemed to be on board, and no one aside from vero was aware of Ghaleon's Intentions. This job was going to end perfectly. The plan of attack was coming together great in theory. He hoped it would be enough to work full scale.<br/><br/>"You three, Go get some sleep, Prepare, do whatever you need to do. I will meet you all on the outskirts of town, by the large oak, at dawn. I'm counting on all of you to get some rest." He said softly, Heading back into the tavern and grabbing the money off the tables. He then headed over to reta and smirked."Now that buisness is done, Here..." He handed her one of the full bags of coin. "For the Tables, And for everyone's room. The Rest is enough to buy out the next few months... Including any damage that may or may not come to this place in the coming weeks..." He said with a cryptic smile as he reached behind the bar, Grabbed a bottle of mead and headed up the stairs to his room, stopping only to speak to vero once more."Sorry old Friend. I don't like seeing you hurt." His smile betrayed his words in such a teasing way."I needed to be sure. Prepare how you see fit. We head out for one and two tomorrow." With that, he headed upstairs and into his room, shutting the door behind him, only to lock each and everyone one of the deadbolts.<br/><br/>It wasn't like he was paranoid that someone could come in and kill him, That would actually be welcomed. He worried about his Family barging in to see what he hid. His large coat that he wore every day that he was in the eye of others was slowly peeled off of his body. The black undershirt was covered in leather straps, many buckles and went around his form several times. He slowly lifted his hand to his chest and tugged a couple loose, sighing and closing his eyes before continuing. He popped the cork on the mead, Took a long swig, before putting the bottle on the stand near the bed, and began to breathe heavy. He sharply shut his eyes as the last buckle was unfastened, all of the straps falling from of his body, loud snaps of bone and sinew. He fell hard to his knees as a large bluish black wing unfolded and snapped in the most sickening ways. Seconds, and a muffled scream later, the second wing followed suit. Ghaleon had tears in his eyes from the amount of pain that shot through his entire body. He dreaded the nights for this reason. He slowly fell forward and landed on the cold wooden floor, laying there motionless for a few minutes. He was waiting for the unbearable pain to subside. If only he would have said no. if only. Ghaleon slowly got to his feet, and without a word laid face first on the soft bed, and passed out, waiting for the hours of morning to come, just to hide his lineage from the world once again.
