Overlord Thraka

The Room

*Black blood sprays from the exit wound in the Deadite's back*
*It glares at Lecter and draws it's sword to impale him*
Deadite: You get in my way! You die human!

The Room

*The Knight growls*
Deadite: No! I want to leave!
*He takes a step towards the door*

*Mergoux hears the shouting and turns to re-enter the room*

*Iris smiles at Hanna*
Iris: How'd you sleep?

The Room

*The Knight pauses and slowly turns to Lecter. He can see that it's obviously another knight of the Oakleaf from the similar armor, and paint.*
*When the possessed knight speaks his voice is hollow and echoey, the accent vaguely middle-eastern and the tone harsh*
Deadite: I am leaving! Get out of my way!

The Room

*Iris smiles and opens her arms for a hug from Hanna*
Iris: Hanna! Good morning!

*Mergoux drinks for a bit then goes outside and leans against the doorway, looking out at the forest*

*Possessed Silvan walks slowly out towards the main room. He's stolen a knight's helm and cleaned himself up so that he looks normal, except for the hole in his breastplate. He walks towards the door quickly, trying not to be noticed*

The Room

*Iris smiles and waves back*
Iris: Good morning Jillian!

*Mergoux walks into the kitchen and grabs a hunk of steak and a beer then walks towards the lounge*

*Iris stares after her, surprised and slightly worried*
Iris: She's started early... is it even 10 AM?
*She leans against the counter and picks at some fruit*

*Mergoux drains her beer and goes to the bar in search of something stronger*

*Silvan's animated body is hiding in one of the back rooms*

The Room

*Mergoux forgot to drink, and her dreams are plagued by nightmares*
*She wakes up in a cold sweat, swears violently and goes to bathe*
*She spends several minutes trying to figure out the bath before finally getting it working*
*After her bath she dresses in a sleeveless tunic that shows off her arm tats and walks to the main room*

*Iris comes out of her and Horus's room yawning lazily and goes to the kitchen*

The Room

*Mergoux glares at Lecter, not quite sure if he's kidding or not*
Mergoux: My mother was a Meadow Elf, there are Wood-Elves, but as far as I know, there aren't any elves who make houses out of tress, or houses in trees. What ever your stories are, they're wrong.
*She jams her helmet back onto her head and stands up*
Mergoux: I'm going to bed. If you want, we can talk about hunting the slaver in the morning.
*She walks off without so much as a "goodnight"*

*Silvan's body is gone*

*After a of explaining and answering questions Iris yawns sleepily*
Iris: Hm... I should probably get some rest.. Goodnight Jillian!
*She waves cheerily, gently lifts Hanna up and places the girl in her room before going to join Horus in her own room*

The Room

*Iris smiles kindly*
Iris: Oh ask away, I don't mind.
*She explains basically the same as Horus, except using the example of Scatach the Shadow rescuing Joan of Arc from being burnt at the stake as the example of how Elders have influenced humanity, as she personally loves the story*

*Horus walks up behind her and squeezes her shoulders*
Horus: I'm going to hit the hey love, don't worry about waking me when you come
*Iris nods and smiles as Horus shuffles off to bed*

*Mergoux narrows her eyes distrustfully, but knows this is her own fault. She sighs in defeat and takes off her helmet, revealing her long, pointed, heavily pierced ears.*
Mergoux: I'm a Half-Elf... the result of a union between a Elf and Human...

The Room

*Mergoux curses herself mentally, realizing her carelessness*
Mergoux: I- It's complicated...
*Tries to dodge the question*
Mergoux: What do you hunt?

The Room

*Mergoux nods*
Mergoux: I can't go at him alone... even if I could find him...
*She shakes her head in frustration*
Mergoux: He's a devil in the shadows, and it seems like his only goal is to seek revenge on me and those who helped me stop him... I've put a few other forts to the flame, but he's never been there. I've not seen his hide in over 50 years...
