The last time he had seen the peculiar man was when he stayed behind with Aklenroth. Wearing a smirk, Elthrael stood north of the spa, the very edge of the more populated area of River Port. His gold irises almost appeared to glow in the night as they reflected the soft gleam of the moons. He did not reply initially and simply met Darius' greeting with a smile. From his perspective, Darius appeared to be doing well for himself, but he did ponder if "Vaeril" was still in his company. He still had his suspicions of him… [Color=aba000]"Ah worry not of me… Darius was it?"[/color] Darius nodded with a smile as confirmation. [color=aba000]"How might you be fairing here. I assume you have met with more of [i]your[/i] people."[/color] The fairy's smile widened enough to show off his fangs. He indicated they should start north by nodding his head in the direction before turning to walk. Darius hurried over to Elthrael's side without breaking into a jog. Malgormuun urged his host to let the fairy be on his way, but Darius didn't think a short conversation would hurt. [Color=mediumpurple]"Of course. They're all headed here to be [i]heroes[/i]"[/color] Elthrael turned his head to peer at Darius after hearing him say such a thing He had remembered Darius speaking positively of Risa a few days earlier. To Elthrael, Darius had either changed his mind, or these were perhaps his true feelings all along. This was interesting to the night fairy. [Color=aba000]"And you are not?"[/color] He was curious, he could not hide that. [Color=mediumpurple]"No… And you shouldn't waste your time either. You didn't seem to like Risa all that much from what I could tell. Well, guess what? Everyone else likes her… Love her even. She makes a speech and everyone comes running to this place from all over…"[/color] Darius casually kicked a pebble along the path the two were walking. Elthrael remained silent. [Color=mediumpurple]"Like it or not, she's the one my people are coming to see… I guess you could try to sway the crowd. I don't know… Maybe you got some good points to bring up."[/color] He tried not to be too negative, but then saw that there was a smile on the fairy's lips. Elthrael sighed before nodding, internally accepting something. It had taken some time, but it was all clear to him. The events of the days past since the resurgence of humans to Avalia was proof enough. It was all truly a pity… [Color=aba000]"It seems the door is already opened, and there is no key to lock it back up. What manner of things shall step through that door, and who will pay for it? I shall leave that to you wonderful people to find out... hahah...hah... no matter how you intend to live, or how long you intend to try. The fairy princess and the lich king are one and the same, both paths lead to the same war that will destroy everything and everyone. Why? Because all wants to be the winner, and none wishes to be the loser. Take it from one whose transparent... ethereal... Elthrael... yes... that is me. The words may be grim, but unfortunately, they are true. Did I exist? Did any of you? Does it matter when it ultimately comes to the epitaph of the final chapter? When everything is returned to white, we are all nothing. Nothing is more appropriate as my final premonition prayer to you people... Hnn hnn hahahah....."[/color] Darius simply listened as Elthrael finally shared his thoughts just before fluttering his wings and smoothly ascending into the night sky. Back to the forest he would return, where he was in control and held all the power he would ever need in such a place. [Color=mediumpurple]"Good talk!"[/color] He still found the way Elthrael spoke to be so odd, but he understood his grim message, or so he thought he did. [Color=mediumpurple][i]See. It was short like I promised. Now, to the spa![/i][/color] Darius walked back to town and went straight into the spa. Finally!
