[color=0072bc][h3]Ardur The Mighty Hipixie[/h3][/color] [color=92278f] just a short detour > A trip down memory lane /// Adventuring day 5 // Afternoon / Location - Forest [/color] Ardur stayed quiet as the others talked, taking note of the questions asked of me by not just the boy but also Asura as well. At least for now, he did not sense any hostility from these two and he did not think that what they were saying was lies or had some other intent. Perhaps with the aid of this one this small rag-tag strike team could maybe do something about the undead threat that lays within that cavern. [color=92278f]“Huh, a desert… that sounds hostile for a pixie such as myself. Perhaps I shall venture there someday just to see.”[/color] He seemed to trail off for a moment before getting a questioning look on his face. [color=92278f]“It was the heart of a deer that we killed, the strongest muscle given up to the spirits as their share of the kill. Now that you explained what these spirits represent a bit more I can see why I was being called to in that direction… forgive me if I’m being to blunt but tell me, how does one such as yourself pray or give sacrifice to Galatine?”[/color] His question was out of pure curiosity, he had found out by accident how to give penance to one but not the other two. Then came the question from the knight and Asura about the dungeon core and Jason, the curiosity in his eyes faded and his facial features turned sterner in the face of the question. [color=92278f]“Yeah I was there when he threw himself upon that crystal; it hurt him bad and changed him. Sure he was always trying his best for more power but I almost felt like he wanted to leave eventually then strike out on his own.”[/color] The high pixie trailed off for a moment remembering the fight and death of the slime as well as the betrayal of trust from attacking him. [color=92278f]“But that core made him want to stay and protect the cave, he wanted to build it better. Make it more than what it was.”[/color] He figured he was going a little off topic but continued. [color=92278f]“I spent my past life as a healer of sorts and I want to continue doing that in this life, those undead… those abominations. They were a mockery of life and all that I had worked for, he was controlling them to an extent and I attacked them with the help of Asura here.”[/color] He seemed to shrug as if that explained his actions, [color=92278f]“After he died the mana crystals that were once abundant in the cave all cracked and broke. The dust was drawn to the back of the cave in Jason’s burrow where he had first met the core. After a few more minutes of fighting zompixies and skeleblins a large greyish slime charged toward us but we were able to get away.”[/color] Again, he seemed to trail off, lost in his thoughts. He figured that was all he had to say until Asura raised his shield once more this time at the boy and asking him to hit him, [color=92278f]“he’s trying to increase his resistances... Well I feel that the dungeon should be our current concern, maybe after we clear it your friend won’t have to worry about undead getting into his land.”[/color] Again he just shrugged and looked on at the two deciding to study the boys attack if he did so to try and gain further insight while singing softly, applying some mana to his throat to attempt to augment the song in some way. [hider=Aviators - Way of the Strong] [color=92278f]“Walk in the deepest of footprints Step into the fog Breaking the silence A threatening song On the trail of the ancients The demons awake At the end of all evil The battleground shakes To the sound of the metal The splinters of bone In a war with the summoned The soldiers of stone As the vessel of guardians I follow along With the words of the wise In the way of the strong.”[/color] [/hider] [@Zeroth] [@Kazemitsu] [hider=Ardur's character stats] [b]Level:[/b] 7 [b]Steve Level:[/b] 4 [b]Health:[/b] 100% [b]Mana:[/b] 80% [b]Stamina:[/b] 95% [b]Buffs[/b]: [b]Debuffs[/b]: [b]Inventory:[/b] bow horn venison x15 lbs. +Cooked bow horn venison 5 Lbs. +Rubber Frog skin Backpack - This item is more elastic than it looks.
