OOC: Hey everybody, here's my long promised RP, putting a twist on the whole elemental relics deal. Click
here for the backstory and discussion. Enjoy.
IC:
I see the stars of light, stars of night
See the stars of our souls burning bright
Hand in hand we shall join another;
Without our souls we go no further
The power of spirit lies in each
Soon the walls that trap us will be breached
The power lies within you, it's true
Just go to sleep and begin anew....
Please do not fear the future, child
For only we can tame the wild....

"So...." said a young man, trying to make some friendly conversation with a guest's escaped pet lapdragon. He was bored out of his mind, and was waiting for something to happen. He looked down at the dragon again, who merely walked off as if snubbing him. The young man sighed, and looked at his companion with annoyance. She was coming back to the table, holding two mugs of ale in her hand. "Took her long enough," he grumbled.
"Did you say something, Alex?" she asked.
"Nothing, just forget it." She sat down, and put the mugs on the table so she could smooth out the wrinkles in her robes. Alex shrugged, and began drinking his mug. He shuddered...it felt like millions of eyes in the inn were watching him.
"Er, Tristan, can we just finish our drinks and go to the clock shop?" he asked. "I don't reallly like this place...."
"Nonsense," she responded, taking a swill of her own ale. "Kotoki's Inn is a nice place, one of the best inns in Doma. Besides, staying here for a bit couldn't hurt...having help is never a bad thing. We aren't exactly battle capable right now."
"Hey, I'm perfectly ready for battle, thank you very much."
"Of course," Tristan said, her voice in a hushed whisper. "If someone suddenly attacks us with a sword, all we have to do is make sure you wave your hand in front them and hope to the gods that you suck their energy out of them like you did to that person in Riva."
"Besides," she continued, her voice now normal, "I wouldn't let the stones just slip away. I'm not that irresponsible."
And with that, the two continued to drink their drinks.
