[@Mangrale][@Norschtalen][@Lucius Cypher][@Ryougu][@cloudystar] Michele's eyes flared at the sight of Viranti's apparent challenge. [color=f7941d]"Oh you think your tough, lizard boy? I could cut you into a million, burning pieces..."[/color] She said grabbing the hilts of her axes, she had a really short fuse and Viranti just lit it. She wasn't listening to what the others had to say, as far as she knew this was a group of assassins bent on killing her queen. [color=ed145b]"That's quite enough Michele, there Oracle sent word to me ahead of time. I have plenty of time to hear them out."[/color] A regal looking young woman with eyes as red as her dress walked into the room, escort by a large, menacing robot. [color=f7941d]"My... My apologies, my queen..."[/color] Michele backed off, bowing her head low. [color=ed145b]"I apologize for my bodyguard's aggressiveness, as she said I've been rather busy. Assassination attempts, monsters attacking the walls, and an overall discomfort throughout the city."[/color] She led the group to a large room, a meeting room to be exact. The queen sat down on a royal looking chair and motioned for the others to sit. The robot seemed to be scanning Malkai. [color=440e62]"SCANS SHOW MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF GREED... PREPARING LOOTING PREVENTION SYSTEMS..."[/color] Michele shook her head. [color=f7941d]"Don't mind Crabby, he's very protective of the queen and her palace... But if you even move the wrong way he won't hesitate to pump you full of bullets..."[/color] She stated. [color=fff79a]"Its an... Honor to speak with you Queen Salene. We wish for info on the whereabouts of the Fire Hero Stone..."[/color] Khristina said in a rather nervous tone. [color=ed145b]"That is what you seek... Well, I would like to hear your reasons for coming on this quest. Oracle, I know your intent very well, but the rest of you... Why did you answer lord Lucius's call?"[/color] [hr] [@Lady Athena][@Skepic] Loralei let out a deep sigh when the cloaked man turned out to be quite the gentleman. [color=f6989d]"Thank you... I apologize for the bumping into you... I'm in a bit of a rush to meet back up with my mistress Khristina, her work as oracle requires aid."[/color] She said adjusting her glasses. When Nephele appeared holding her weapon at the stranger, Loralei got between them. [color=f6989d]"Nephele its ok, this man isn't going to hurt me. He's actually quite nice."[/color]
