He... Was one of us for a long time... But I digress. My lady is coming, and she wants him to pay for his actions. We haven't informed her of June's demise, because we intend to return her to glory. Would you like to see you mentor again?
-
...explain... You're being a little too vague for me...
-
I would, but trust is a two-way road. We can bring her back, but you must agree to our terms. [b]He holds out his hand.[/b] You must accept that your mentor is a piece in a larger game: Our lady is our master, and you too must submit to her will.
-
Right, my terms are that you're straight with me, instead of like this. Considering I still have what you want I presume. If you want it, you'll have to make me willing to put it on the table.
-
I'll be compliant, but understand that I do not need you alive to return her to life. Do not mistake my hospitality for weakness. You possess a gift that even the original owner could not master. I believe in what I see, not what I hear.
-
Yet you wanted me, specifically, alive didn't you? So explain.
-
I made a promise to a one Winston that I'd bring you home alive. I intend to keep my promise, but it is not my first priority. [b]He removes a compass-like object from his pocket.[/b] If you want to help bring her back, you are going to need to surrender your powers. Catheris is the key to resurrecting her.
-
...You said you talked to Winston?
-
Aye, he was considering the bounty. Not broken up, but slightly worried. Do you have any questions?
-
What did you say to him?
-
I told him that I just needed something of you, and that I personally would escort you back to him once I finished.
-

-
The crystal you crush, I need it back. This device is the means to it. All you need to do is open it. Understand that this means you agree to our terms, and you will forfeit the power bestowed by the crystal.
-
So you want this "power" right? What exactly is this "power"?
-
I haven't taken you for a simpleton, why do you take me for granted? We both know you've used them already.
-
No actually, I haven't purposefully and... Well, not since she died I guess. It's been around that long I think. Since you know what's up with it though, and you have something yourself and plenty of time, feel free to explain it more. I've certainly got time.
-
[b]He unwraps the larger object on his back.[/b] I do not. Not to be brash, but time is of the essence, and I can't afford to let my chances slip away. If you won't come now, I'll bring you instead. [b]He holds the object in position for battle, a nagamaki.[/b]
-
[b]She keeps sitting, not at all worried looking[/b] That actually does sound very brash. You had the time to bring me alive, to talk all this time about it, instead of just using force, but you're low on time? Sounds like you're just impatient to me...
-
Truth be told, I am being impatient. Our lady arrives within the day, and it my responsibility to show her June never died. So permit me if I may, but I believe my reasoning is more appropriate than yours.
-
Are you late to your appointment at the spa or something? Awww..... sorry sweetie.
-
As am I, my deluded friend. [b]He pockets the compass, bowing again, this time in a dueling fashion.[/b]
-
[b]She waves from against the shovel[/b] ....this is so boring....
-
[b]With a snap of his wrist, he dashes towards you, swinging the sword in a crescent shape from the ground up. He finished the strike past you and does not look back.[/b]
-
[b]You hear a mild, bored, yawn behind you[/b] -so when is it you're going to do something fun?
-
[b]He lets out an airy chuckle.[/b] I'm satisfied. How long has she been dead? One doesn't develop a tendency to use our powers overnight. [b]He listens carefully for an answer. [/b]
