Darion just sighed a bit with what W'ineton Said, and gave her a moment to look around the cabin for her own little scan, though he himself did look at the bed he used.  He didn’t see any loose feathers from Alapha on the sheets.  That was a blessing.  He was pretty sure that little clue would lead to violence since he had slept with W'ineton’s sister during this past month.  It was a surprise the girl didn’t blame her for the youngest sister’s death, but she had needed the comfort.  The two hadn’t ended up in bed together too soon after leaving.  She was the one who had come to him for comfort.<br/><br/>When W'ineton finished speaking Darion returned his attention to her.<span style="color: seagreen">“I know… a prophecy is the reason your home city is gone… and your youngest sister is dead.  I am sure the creatures that attacked and slaughtered everyone were there on order of the Kaiser, maybe led by a general of his.  Probably the same as your demon that attacked you.  All for a prophecy of the Kaiser’s death…”</span><br/><br/>Darion paused a moment after that, remembering the prophecy that whatever had been speaking through Verita.  He had not been able to forget the whole thing word for word.  He began speaking it, but not with the power, or the wisdom that the voice from Verita had been using to speak with.<br/><br/><i><span style="color: seagreen">By touch and breath, I can see of the world to come,<br/>
this vision of things done and not done,<br/>
I see fire that covers a ungodly god's ethereal sky,<br/>
Demons rising from Hell and of these feathered angels who die,<br/>
I see.. I see the End of time.<br/>
<br/>
My vision is not diluted with loyalty to either side,<br/>
For both within the realm of heathen I lie,<br/>
Both side are unyielding with unrivaled power,<br/>
But neither will give for their attitudes are dour,<br/>
The earth will shake a bleed blood of steel,<br/>
From all over creation warriors take to battle with zeal,<br/>
<br/>
On the side of dark a man has ruled who has been named,<br/>
The Kaiser who has covered this earth with death like rain,<br/>
Demons long imprisoned who take to skies,<br/>
For at the heart of this might true evils lies.<br/>
<br/>
The side of light is now awaken,<br/>
Holy rollers march to his Hell with a white light baken,<br/>
They foolishly believe they are stronger than death,<br/>
But for their freedom Demons will steal their last breath,<br/>
<br/>
I have seen what he has feared,<br/>
This earth where he does not belong will be cleared<br/>
All heaven and hell will tremble before my division,<br/>
Thee would be wise to heed my vision. <br/>
<br/>
I will make him fall to his knees,<br/>
with warriors that were once his trustees,<br/>
he will tremble and perish upon their wrath<br/>
this for all who follow me, will be their path.</span></i><br/><br/>He paused again after to absorb the prophecy.  He spoke it as it had been spoken to them before not looking at Winnie, but instead down at the table.  He had more to tell.<span style="color: seagreen">“That was the prophecy that he had feared, as the young girl who told us had spoken it.  Your people’s city is dead because we were there… because Verita was there.  The Aviari were cursed to die while the army was trying to capture us all… all the non-Aviari in the city.  But as we were escaping, Verita said I was supposed to have died along with the Aviari.  That was part of the prophecy according to her.”</span><br/><br/>That explained something he had said earlier.  But he obviously wasn’t done yet at all.<span style="color: seagreen">“She told me to come with the Aviari, otherwise they would die.  Apparently I somehow escaped the fate that I was cursed to by that damn prophecy.  That is the only thing I could think of that led to her saying I would be the reason she says I can keep them alive…”</span><br/><br/><span style="color: seagreen">“I never believed in fate, or prophecy…  but what she said and the fact I could name dozens of times that I should have died in the battle… made me believe that she was right about that.  I have to keep these people safe for our failure to protect them in their home.”</span>He completely believe this, even though he didn’t believe in fate still.  He definitely wanted to protect them because of his failure to protect the younger sister.  He was sure she had died in his place for some reason or another.  That didn’t reach his mouth but the guilt was on his face.<br/><br/>After a moment he also remembered what she had said about what he needed to do, to gather an army to march against the Kaiser’s forces.  To draw his attention away from her.  But he had no idea where to start…  and he wasn’t sure he should tell W'ineton that part of all this.<span style="color: seagreen">“I do not know a specific city to take them in Gha’mos as I have never been there…  but … I need somewhere safe to take them and leave them… can you provide any suggestions?”</span><br/><br/>…………………<br/><br/>The old Aviari looked at the little Vulpari girl for a moment then at the human man that the red girl was holding, the one who had passed out from weakness.<span style="color: gray">“Mirri?  Was that little fairy I saw following the human and the young idiot?  She looked fey.  I can guess…”</span>she stopped though as she watched the little girl pass out from exhaustion.  She watched her a moment before sighing and doing as the little fox asked.  First she moved over to the one indicated as the Thief.<br/><br/>All she needed was a cursory exam with some magic to tell he wasn’t all that injured.<span style="color: gray">“This idiot is fine… he had just, by my guess, used way too much magic fighting, and then had a pixie take a meal.  It was too much, he will be asleep for a while to regenerate his magic.  Whatever brought him here is likely also a problem that caused this situation.  Just move  him somewhere where he can sleep.”</span>She said before standing up and moving through the rest of the newcomers.<br/><br/>Most seemed to be in similar condition.  Exhaustion was her guess as to the cause of all the problems of the people that had shown up.  Probably from whatever spell W'ineton had used to get them all here.  If it was a spell at all.  Stuff like that always had some consequences when used wrong.<br/><br/>While the healer was looking over the others what had actually made it to the ship, the little girl that had been talking with Parin, watched W'ineton as she followed Darion down below decks to talk.  She didn’t know what to say to what the older Aviari had said, but she believed the woman didn’t mean them harm.  She had no idea really about what all the problems were about.  She hadn’t heard any stories about W'ineton.. but if she had wanted to protect them… what had she done to get banished?<br/><br/>After she was out of sigh, the little girl looked back at Parin and the iron giant watching guard with only 1 arm.  Instead of looking at Ogun though, her focus was on Parin.  Especially her ears and tail… she couldn’t resist anymore… reaching down and kneeling, she took her hands down to the vulpari.  Her right hand went up to, and started playing with the girl’s ears.  Her left went down and started playing with her tail.  A giggle escaped her lips before she spoke up.<span style="color: orange">“She’s so fluffy!”</span><br/><br/>Finally she came over to little Parin and couldn’t help but smile at what the girl was doing.  Who knows how annoying that would be for the Vulpari.  At least she was passed out from exhaustion.<span style="color: gray">“Tialla.  Go get the girl another sheet to cover the girl, she must be cold.”</span>The girl whined a little, but with a stern look from the healer, Dashed off.<br/><br/>With the girl gone the old healer looked up to Ogun and spoke up.<span style="color: gray">“There is no need to stand such a close guard of the girl, she is fine… just sleeping from her exhaustion… like the few of you that appeared here… though I don’t think I can heal you… I’m not exactly even sure what you are, but you are not alive like your friends from what I can sense.”</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
