From the Ashes... A new king's day?

[Dracos]

The man, noticing he had a consumer, a consummate listener, began talking louder switching tracks.

"In the beginning, there was... THE TABLE...  and around it they gathered..."

The ratty book he was holding was hard to get a good glimpse of.  It seemed much maligned, made of paper and he was waving it around energetically with his motions.  Leets could kind of make out Player Guide on it though.

Resting his spirit, Jan found his way to King Cecil's throne room, where an audience was quickly had, for the two men both had much to speak and hear from each other.

"It is good to see your return, Jan.  I trust the rest of your companions are well within the city walls?"

Dracos

[Olvelsper]

"Most of them...Fizban didn't make it." Jan paused as he admitted it to the king.

[Dracos]

"mmm, the quiet gray wizard, was he?  Did you find what you were seeking?  My men tell that you returned ahead a village worth of people."

Dracos

[Olvelsper]

"They lost their home when the demon showed itself. It knows what we're trying to do...and it's strong. Much too strong."

[Dracos]

Mary's mostly left alone to his drinking.

Felix:
The woman smiled, a warming sight indeed.  "White magic is the purvoy of those who would as the winds to hide them, the waters to heal them, who would aid with their thoughts and their strength others."

Jan:


"There is hope, for despite this strength, you stand here before us and it has not followed you.  Do you have a plan for it?" The older king wondered.

Dracos

[Olvelsper]

"I'm going to leave by myself. I'm going to go to one of the Towers and use a starstone. My other self can probably handle it. If one of the towers gets sealed, maybe we can have a fighting chance."

[Merc]

"Healing? My, that'd be useful!" the magician nods. "Well, I'll look around I suppose."

As he starts to look around he asks, "Oh, since you said white magic, then what are other classifications of magic? Thinks like black magic, red magic and purple magic or something? Could you explain a bit about all that?"

[Dracos]

"Sealing a tower seems wise, but the entire trip by yourself?  Those to the south seem a brutal people, uncivilized and course."  He remarked worried for the young man.

Re: Felix

She graced him again with a smile, "All I know is of white and black.  Black is the art of destruction," She said with distaste.  "To harness the elements to shatter those before you."

Dracos

[Merc]

"Harness the elements, you say? Like throwing lightning or fireballs?" Felix asks, a bit more interested. "I met a young lady some time ago that helped save the life of myself and a group of friends that used such spells," he says, thinking of Miss Klein.

Shaking his head out of the memories, he comments, "But I'm disgressing from your prefered topic of making a sale, I suppose. Are there any spells you might recommend as useful, and not too difficult to learn? They don't have to be the easiest you have, but not something that would leave an old man such as myself with a serious headache either, if you please."

[Olvelsper]

"Maybe, but it's not right for them to die like Fizban did. I dragged them into this mess by opening Pandora's Box, so I have to try my best to stop it." He snorted a bit. "Besides, I'm not human. Maybe I'll get along with those demons better."

[Dracos]

"The basics of healing and curing should be part of any white mages repitoire," She pleasantly suggested, holding forth a pair of books.  "The power of illusions is also found to be welcome novice skill."

The king frowned disapprovingly.  "Martyrdom, while noble, rarely serves much purpose.  Believe first you alone can do it, and free yourself from the doubts of the past or they will hinder your strength when you need it most."
