[Game Thread] Lord Windos’ PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

Greater surprise.

Deeper confusion.

That was what you felt as Morgana stared at you, taken aback by your vehemence.

Wait, feel?

Looking at yoursef, you can see that the Fae Lady was proping you up, trying to get you back up on your feet until you spoke out.

She still had contact with you.

Was that the reason...?

Realization.

Relief.

Bemusement.

"Ah,"  she said, before cupping her own face with one hand and giving a small laugh.

"Mmm hmm hmm...dear, what happened was not my intent. Held no malice, had no mischief for you, oh nay and not. 'Tis but an accident most unexpected. Most unforeseen. Most very exhilarating indeed."

The way the witch said that made, the way her smile widened in fae satisfaction....you can't help but shudder.

"Know what happened or how, I do not. Precisely no, at least. Something, something, something to do with how our Souls interacted. When I reached out to you, to see. Something strange. Something Unown. Something very
very
very Interesting."

Again she let out a laugh, this one more amicable. Friendly. As if what happened was not a huge deal.

"Painful through and though too, but, yet -"

Suddenly, you felt a surge of power - !

And you felt all better.

The picture of perfect health.

Still, the memories of what your endured still remain.

"Nothing a little Magic can't fix, hmm?"

...
...
...

"*Tilts head* ....Still, more....that is not enough, I wager. Hurt you when I meant no harm, shared something you wish not seen, and antagonized you, no matter how unwitting or known. Mere apologies will not do; reparation's and amends made still need be done. Know not yet how and what to do for this and that, but will someday near and soon. Allow this Lady some time to plan, to arrange, to make things Correct and Right, okay?"

Sincerity.

Self-Remonstration.

That is what you felt from her as she vow to 'make amends' with you.

However, what you did not feel at all was Sadness.

No, you felt something akin to Happiness in its place.

Elation.

For sharing something so Unique and Momentous to a Strange yet Mortal Soul like yours never normally would..

The Slaying of the Divine.

The Remaking of Resolution.

Death and Defiance itself. 

Unintentionally it may have all been...

Sorry for it happening she may be...

Morgana considered this, in the end...

A Surprise Gift for you.

"*Tilts head* Mmm....something tells me this may not be enough. To even the score, to allow good grace to flow between I and ye. *Sighs* That was expected anyway, to be true. One that follows the Old Ways, The Dead Gods, and The Fallen Swords would not be so nicely opposed to me, oh no. Especially after seeing such a fond old triumph..."

Morgana gets you up off the ground and on your feet at last, and it is then you notice something important: Leaves and Ceruledge have been knocked flat too, connected and Bonded deeply as they were to you. Only Ceruledge could struggle to stand, glaring daggers of her own at the most whimsical woman. The only thing preventing her from trying to run her through with a most Bitterest of Blades was how close she was to you.

You also notice a big hole behind you, and could faintly hear what sounded like terrified *zzzsssszzz...* from it. Looks like this is where Sand Crawler went off to.

Morgana grabs your attention again, almost literally, by resting her hand on your shoulder, and gave you a Honest and Friendly Smile.

"Still, yet, it is true: I rather have friendliness and make merriment. Some harmless mischief too, mmm hmm hmm~! Given thy Quest, Thy Purpose, Thy Truth and Ideals....shouldn't such peaceful and good tidings be desired by you?"

She doesn't stick around to hear your answer (though you may still give it if you wish) - already she is off, approaching the next poor fool in this arcane and fae gathering.....

Insight Check
*Rolls* + 2

...That boa.

That fuzzy blue boa....

Was it...?

...Call it a gut feeling....

But if you asked for it...

Maybe you'd received it.

Seddi continues to stare at Morgana with narrowed, wary eyes.  If she's not going to stick around to hear his answer, then he won't answer at all.

But.

He'll still say something that will likely give her pause.

"If you really want to show some goodwill, then let me have that boa of yours.  Future promises are only as good as First Impressions."
