[@RabidAnubis] [@Rune_Alchemist] [@Cloudystar] Samuel, droning on about the ways of the lord with an increasingly bored looking teenager, soon noticed a cloud of dirt billow off of the ground. Laying face first on the ground was a young elven woman, followed by some demonic looking creature. Samuel pulled back slightly form shock, but quickly regained his composure. He is the adult after all, no need to look silly in front of these children. Besides, Samuel's only experience with any spirit before has been with Gabriel so, if that is anything to go off of, this creature probably just had a strange appearance. In time, the two of them may even become friends! [color=a187be]"Hey, instead of mumbling about some fictional sky wizard, ya help a lady up ya old bat."[/color] ...Well, not everyone was a fan of the lords teachings. Besides, being a follower does give one passage to paradise, it is a kind heart that does so! The creature - [color=a187be]Tania[/color] - has a rude tongue, but the girl - [color=fff79a]Lena[/color] - seemed far more friendly. Perhaps she would be interested in learning of the lord? No... don't make this a repeat of the last adventurers, Samuel! They ran for the hills and left you alone in a forest for Pete's sake! GAH! Samuel nearly chocked on his spit when he realizes that he probably talked that teenager's - [color=ed1c24] Okami's[/color] - ear off... Oh well, he hasn't left for another line, so that bridge hasn't burned down... yet. As soon as Samuel was about to question the others for their reasons on coming to the initiation, Samuel nearly collided with... a pretty, young girl in a... somewhat risque outfit and - HORNS!? AND A TAIL!? This time, Samuel actually jumped back a step, but he quickly calmed down. [i]C'mon Samuel, this is [b]exactly[/b] what Sarah was talking to you about when she said you were being racist! Don't make this a repeat of that time with the orc patient![/i] Samuel cringes at the memory as it returns to him, but quickly buries it as the small demon began to speak. [color=f7976a]"Chirpieee Birdieee! I'm Vilivyn andIwaswonderingif you had any advice for me about flying around. Because you know, Idon'twannacrashintostuff with these wings! New to this, y'know?"[/color] ... Samuel realizes that she is completely ignoring him... and talking to the small pile of feathers in his arms known as Gabriel. That... hurts a little, but it actually makes Samuel feel slightly better - this person was just as apprehensive with him as he was of her. Gabriel chirped strongly in response, giving Samuel a feeling of comfort - the wounds were very severe when Samuel found him, and a full recovery was unexpected. Samuel notices what appears to be a bat float near [color=a187be]Tania[/color] and sniff the air. That creature must be the demon's spiri-The [i]girl's[/i] spirit, Samuel, you old racist fool! Samuel holds his small bible close to him as he addresses the small group. [color=fff200]"I apologize for not telling you all my name earlier. I am Father Samuel, and I am glad to meet you all."[/color] [s] [/s] [color=f7976a]"Chirpieee Birdieee! I'm Vilivyn andIwaswonderingif you had any advice for me about flying around. Because you know, Idon'twannacrashintostuff with these wings! New to this, y'know?"[/color] Finally! A quest! A maiden has revealed herself to I, the mighty [color=6ecff6] Gabriel[/color], and she is even asking for my assistance! Sure, it's not defeating evil monsters and saving her... but helping someone learn the glorious art of flying is a noble task in itself! Surely Master has no qualms with the mighty [color=6ecff6]Gabriel[/color] lending his aid to a fair maiden! And who knows, perhaps this maiden will reward me! Hopefully with some trail mix... I turn to my Master, a beacon of radiance and light. He even surpasses the mighty [color=6ecff6]Gabriel[/color] in terms of all that is virtuous... Well, Master surpasses the mighty [color=6ecff6]Gabriel[/color] in many things that are virtuous. Surely someone like my Master would not be opposed to I, [color=6ecff6]Gabriel[/color], undisputed master of all that is virtuous, taking this maiden underneath my metaphorical and literal wing. I spread my glorious wings and, with as thunderous of a voice as I can muster, bellow out my reply. [color=6ecff6]"Of course the mighty Gabriel shall accept your request, dear maiden! I have trained many things in the art of flight: Leaves! Flies! Even the powerful birds have learned flight under the tutelage of Gabriel! I can guarantee that you shall be the best flier throughout the kingdom!" "... On a completely unrelated subject, what is a kingdom, and how many people are in one?"[/color]
