"Oh, he'ssss not a Chaossss god anymore," the Ra'zac replied. "But, of courssse, there issss a catch: Zazikel demands your allegiance to him when the time comesssss."

[Godzilla Forever]

Draco replies, "Agreed. BUT- I wish to settle a vendetta my people have had against a certain race of people for a very lnog time.... it will make my people happy, and will eliminate one of the greater threats to your fledgling overlord......."

[UndeadRaptor]

Ikargu, soon landing in the valley close to a small patch of trees, lowered his form so Sarah could easily get off of him and walk around on the grassy terrain...

[Godzilla Forever]

Sarah hops down and looks around the area. She touches the grass with her hands... it was so soft. She hadn't felt anything quite like it. The gravel of the city's hardened streets could not compare to this. The smell of the air was better than anything she had smelled in Freyr-Lunge. The beautiful sky seemed even more bright than it did at her old home. She was already forgetting the dull life of a pickpocket, and seemed to be looking towards the future......

[UndeadRaptor]

A slight reptillian smile spread on Ikargu's face as he watched Sarah feel what must have been a strange thing for her, telling she was growing happy of the new life that would come for the child...

[Godzilla Forever]

Sarah touches the ground some more and smells the air a bit more, along with let the wind blow through her hair. She then turns around and says, "Is it like this in most places outside the city?"

After they landed a little while later, Arsenic dismounted and turned to face his friend. 'Go carefully, Aviva.' He gave her neck a quick hug. He felt her contented hum as a vibration in her throat as she responded, 'And you, Arsenic.' He stepped back and watched her take off again, shielding his face against the wind she created. It was only when she was in the sky and on her way that he heard a familiar voice calling his name. He turned, and found himself wrapped in a feminine embrace. He returned it with a mental chuckle. 'hello to you too, Vix. How've you been?' "Bloody exhausted!" she replied, her familiar accent helping him to relax a bit. He always had some trouble dropping his wary attitude after a hunt... "The other assassins and I have been busy while you were gone; sorting out jobs. Some were just petty things, and we had a hell of a time getting those clients out of our hair. It's a good thing you're back. We need all the hands around here we can get." She paused to breathe, and he chuckled again as he steered them inside the multi-story building where most of the assassins roomed when they weren't out hunting. 'And the others that weren't petty revenge things?' "Oh, not just revenge, hun. We got one kid in here, couldn't have been more than thirteen, who wanted his parents dead because they punished him after he broke a neighbor's window." She shook her head, her auburn French plait swinging as she did so. "And then there was the farmer who wanted us to kill the kid next door because he was throwing rocks at his chickens." She snorted and Arsenic smiled. Vix was unique, that was for sure. She had a temper like nothing he'd ever seen; she even scared him at times. But she was also a truly good and kind person. She took care of the people she cared about, and even gave the assassins who had nowhere to go a place to stay. It was a wonder she could put up with them - but then, her personality was the reason she was his best friend. She was the sister he never had, and she thought of him in much the same way.

[UndeadRaptor]

"Indeed it is, Sarah. But not all, as other places are owned by intelligent beings like yourself, mainly humans, but elves and others too," Ikargu soon replied as he began moving towards the river for something to drink...

[Godzilla Forever]

Sarah cups her hands to get a drink from the refreshing river. She smiles before saying, "Have you ever met elves, Ikargu? I've always wanted to meet them.... they sound so intriguing, but my people want to get rid of them for good...."

[UndeadRaptor]

"Not yet, but it would be nice to see them atleast one time and learn more of their ways," Ikargu soon replied after pulling his snout out from the water. "I wonder why her people would want to rid Aster of elves?" the ice dragon thought to himself, before saying, "you may be able to come face-to-face with some actual elves one day, Sarah. I'll try and help you do that, aswell..."

[dinoman666]

"I'm sssssure Zazikel will be happy to oblige," the Ra'zac said with a chuckle.

[Godzilla Forever]

"That would be nice, Ikargu. Perhaps someday, when I'm older and understand more, we could go...." Sarah sighs before flicking a pebble into a pond. "I just don't understand all the hate in the world..... when I was in Freyr-Lunge, the hate for elves was so great it was almost suffocating. Only Drakun II seems to be neutral about them. Everyone else, including his son, have an irrational hate of them...."

Draco smiles. "Then we are agreed? Partners?" The prince sticks his hand out, a sadistic smirk stretched across his visage......

[UndeadRaptor]

"Maybe... something happened between the people in your kingdom and the elves that had caused this hatred?" Ikargu said, not seeing any other reason why the two people would hate each other at the moment...

[Godzilla Forever]

Sarah says, "No..... I've heard from non elf haters that it is far more ludicrous then that. They say that it all began when the Drakons learned to control the gifts of the dragonborn, which gave them great powers. They first encountered the elves when they had not established Draxon.... their beauty was something to behold to them. It was something they could not have. However, if a Drakon and an elf had a child, the child lost its gifts of Greshlynk, who said to the founder of Draxon, Fafnir the wise, that they "are not of my brood, and as such are nto worthy of my gift." At that moment, something changed in the Drakons. What was once admiration turned to jealousy. That jealousy has grown into a genocidal hatred that threatens all elves in Aster if Draxon was to grow too pwoerful......"

[dinoman666]

The Ra'zac's clawed hand grasped Draco's, cold and clammy even beneath the enchantment. "Partnersss," he hissed.

[UndeadRaptor]

"I see," Ikargu said, before saying, "hatred for such a ridiculous reason is what could eventally bring down most kingdoms and their peoples in time, due to the fact that anger for reasons similar ruins the lives of others, and so forth continues after that destruction. Something I had learned from a human traveller one day when I was younger and explored far more often..."

[Godzilla Forever]

Sarah says, "But what are we to do? The hate has been fed by hundreds of years of jealousy......"

Draco smiles. "Now begins our plans...... we are to take out my father, Drakon II. His death will allow me to ascend to the throne. After that, my people want the elves gone. Eliminated. Erased from existence. When that is done, we can assimilate others under us and eventually take over other neighboring kingdoms until we are victorious."

[UndeadRaptor]

"We can't do nothing other than try and avoid this hatred and jealously, we are just two beings not capable of more than what we can do ourselfs. But, we could possibly stop this by getting others to help us out," Ikargu soon replied to Sarah, before lapping up some more water...

[Hopeflower]

Arsenic settled into a comfortable chair, legs crossed, sipping from a mug of herbal tea. Vix sat across from him, scratching behind the ears of a golden tabby cat who yawned widely and began to purr. "You'd best watch your back, Arsenic," she said after a moment of comfortable silence. "There are rumors that some people would do anything to see you dead." He waved a dismissive hand. 'Old clients who didn't like that we denied their requests,' he said. 'They've tried to kill me before, and failed.' "Yes. But now they're going to further lengths." Vic leaned forward, her green eyes narrowing. "Hiring assassins from other guilds to kill you." He shook his head. 'Vix. I appreciate the warning, really. But there is a reason they haven't succeeded yet.' His lips twisted wryly. "I know, I know. You're more paranoid than a cat that's had its tail stepped on one too many times. Still - be careful." Looking at her, Aviva's words came back to him. "She fancies you." Did Vix view him as more than a friend? More than a brother? He frowned, but nodded. 'I always am, Vix,' he said more gently than he meant to. She hesitated, as if there were something more she wanted to say, but then nodded and said, "I have some dishes to wash. Call me, if you need anything." She stood and left the room, leaving him alone with his thoughts. He gazed into the fire, half-hoping the dancing flames would yield some answers to the questions that now plagued him.

[dinoman666]

"Killing your father? Eassssy enough for ussss," the Ra'zac hissed. "Annihilation of an entire race? Far more difficult. It will not be sssso ssssimple, essspecially alone."
