Ragna knew instantly that as soon as he said something about the prophecy it was the wrong thing to say as Lydia was right their. [i]'She is gonna kill me later for this.'[/i] He contented himself, knowing that the lie was necessary. Well not necessary but needed as he can't bring himself to tell her exactly what it entails. With a sigh he slumped against the magic that held him in place. This human mage would probably tell her all about the prophecy and her potential role to play in it. Several dark thoughts plagued his mind as he suddenly realized what the Demon king wanted with her. When that time came he would be torn between two Oaths. A fate that could be deemed worse then death as the conflicting powers could quite possibly rend the flesh from his bones.

When Lydia began to stalk forward, like a predator chasing it's prey, Ragna cringed slightly and garbled out a few words under his breath. Hearing her defend him almost made him cry. Instead he sent a silent thanks to his mother for his human side and his ability to feel these emotions.

The leader magi seemed unimpressed as she Lydia tried to scare him. The other magi started to mumble to each other at the mention that Ragna was her lover. However the Leader once again silenced them with his hand. " Please, Prophet, If you seek to scare us you should stop now. All halflings are an impurity and must be culled if the balance of the world is to be maintained...But if we do that the future is destroyed." The man sighed. " It is not what we want from you, it is what the world wants from you. And if you give it to the world, then all is lost... Anyway I guess I shall treat him with the up most allowance of my patience as long as he doesn't try something like that again. Also..." He waved his hand and tendrils wrapped around the 7 of them, moving them to a more brightly lit estate on the outskirts of Termina. " Welcome to my home The estate of Lord Terminus himself and home of the proud city of Termina's greatest mages. I will apologize for my methods. It has been a long time since I've had to deal with such dangerous magics. May I get you anything, twilight prophet?"
