[ 12] HERALD Eldrigal: Joining Heralds

Fri Sep 19 14:09:34 2003

To: Mamira

I have spoken with Zeyrsi about you, and he wishes to see more of your

work. I have told him that I enjoy our conversations, and believe you would

do well at interviewing the notables of the land. He has asked me to have

you interview someone of importance, and send what you learned to us. I

have every faith in your ability to do this, my dear, and look forward to

reading the results of your labors.

Academician Eldrigal Shrythara

You chuckle politely.

You tell Narnokles 'Hello to you?'

Narnokles tells you 'Greetings, milady.'

You tell Narnokles 'I wish to hear your story.'

Narnokles tells you 'What do you mean?'

You tell Narnokles 'I'm trying to get information to write about to Heralds.'

Narnokles tells you 'About what?'

You tell Narnokles 'I thought you would have an interesting story.'

You tell Narnokles 'How have you come to be who you are?'

You smirk.

(

Narnokles tells you 'If you wish, I can tell the story of my vendetta with the NEXUS and the SYNDICATE.'

Narnokles tells you 'But for now...my history remains my own.'

You tell Narnokles 'That story would be interesting to hear.'

You tell Narnokles 'Have they angered you more than they would most people?'

Narnokles tells you 'I came to speak with you. But no matter.'

You tell Narnokles 'With our history, I'm sure you can understand my distrust.'

You tell Narnokles 'Do you mind speaking in this way?'

Narnokles tells you 'I have...made a promise to certain personages.'

Narnokles tells you 'No more Lightwalkers shall die by my hand in the coming years whilest I focus on them.'

Narnokles tells you 'The Cycle is for all mortals, not just the Light alone.'

Narnokles tells you 'It is past time the Shadow remembered that.'

You tell Narnokles 'I see.'

You tell Narnokles 'I would agree that those two factions have made too much work for me.'

Narnokles tells you 'We will speak in person or not at all.'

Narnokles tells you 'My word is given that I will not touch you.'

Narnokles tells you 'It is yours to believe or disbelieve.'

You tell Narnokles 'Ok, we meet at the dwarven doctor.'

Narnokles tells you 'Very well.'

Narnokles rides in.

You curtsey to your audience.

Narnokles utters the words, 'oculoinfra uizug'.

Narnokles says 'Good day to you, milady.'

Narnokles kisses your hand. How continental!

Narnokles looks at you.

Narnokles says 'I trust this day finds you well?'

Mamira rests on the edge of a bed.

You say 'It does.'

NYou say 'I am doing well so far.'

Narnokles sits down and rests.

Narnokles nods.

Before you floats in mid-air a tall, rather dashing avian of

handsome appearance, clad from head to toe in dark armour.

His alabaster wings are the only part of him not fully armoured,

though there are bands of metal here and there designed to

strengthen them. Two bright blue eyes stare out at you from behind

his helmet, seemingly smiling at you, despite his ominous apparel.

Two slender rapier-like swords rest by his side, both encased in a

pair of rather flashy little cases that seem to hum with a certain dark

energy. On his helmet, he bears the symbol of Virigoth and the Cycle,

the emblem of the Snarling Skull. Strangely enough, however...it is

designed in such a way as to seem very artistic. And, in a way...

elegant, as well as darkly beautiful.

Narnokles currently holds the title of Master Questor of Aabahran.

Narnokles has a few scratches.

You say 'Congratulations on your title of Master Questor.'

Narnokles sits down and rests.

Narnokles nods at you in agreement.

Narnokles says 'Since I had entered the Halls of the SYNDICATE.'

Narnokles says 'I had taken more heads than any save the Rat King himself.'

Narnokles says 'Even more than Seium at her prime.'

Mamira gets out a pen and paper and starts writing.

Narnokles says 'Thrice did the spirit of Virigoth descend upon my weapons, granting me the Three Brethren.'

Narnokles stands up.

Narnokles draws his weapons.

Narnokles wields 'Infinitus' the Soul Reaver.

Narnokles wields 'Immortalis' the Soul Reaver in his off-hand.

Narnokles almost drops 'Infinitus' the Soul Reaver.

Narnokles almost drops 'Immortalis' the Soul Reaver.

Narnokles wields 'Eternalis' the Soul Reaver.

You nod.

Narnokles says 'Eternalis, the Elder.'

Narnokles stops using a spiked collar adorned with a demon tongue.

Narnokles wears a demon-faced talisman around his neck.

Narnokles wields 'Infinitus' the Soul Reaver.

Narnokles wields 'Immortalis' the Soul Reaver in his off-hand.

Narnokles says 'And Infinitus and Immortalis, the younger.'

Narnokles says 'Together, they form the Three.'

Narnokles says 'After half a decade of service, I became desirous of the position of the Hand, within the Hall of the Rats.

'

You say 'I have not had a close look at those other than them being used on me, perhaps.'

Brrrrrrrrr.

Narnokles nods.

Narnokles says 'They, among other things, are sentient, and possess the teachings of the Cycle.'

Narnokles says 'Those teachings have sometimes, been known to shatter the faith of others.'

Narnokles says 'But no matter.'

Narnokles says 'Everyone was amenable to the idea of my being Hand.'

You nod.

Narnokles says 'From the Rat King Ithamar, to Hand Pyrrus, to even Lord Arzaeth himself.'

Narnokles says 'Yet....Arzaeth, for some reason, is no longer in charge.'

Narnokles says 'Some young whelp named Nefar...'

Narnokles quirks his lips bitterly.

Narnokles says 'Vetoed my vote.'

Narnokles says 'And when asked, insulted me.'

Narnokles says 'Calling me a mere killing machine.'

You say 'Hmmm...'

Narnokles says 'Without craft, subtlety, or ingenuity.'

Narnokles says 'I departed from the Hall of the Rats.'

Narnokles says 'This matter would have ended here.'

Narnokles says 'But he...'

Narnokles licks his lips, as his eyes narrow slightly.

You raise an eyebrow at the notion.

Narnokles says 'Whilest I was resting in the Shrine of Tranquility, he had the idea to slay me in cold blood.'

Narnokles says 'Fortunately, Lord Virigoth protected my soul.'

Narnokles says 'That meant...vendetta.'

You nod.

Narnokles says 'I approached several organizations.'

Narnokles says 'For I have designed to bankrupt the SYNDICATE.'

You gasp in astonishment.

Narnokles says 'The NEXUS was wishing to help, but the Balor commanded that it not be so.'

Narnokles says 'Forcing Xequilant, against his will, to war against me.'

Narnokles says 'Thus, I have two allies as well. The SAVANTS and...'

Narnokles chuckles in a self-amused way.

(

Narnokles says 'Tylith and the KNIGHTS.'

Narnokles says 'I have sworn for the next few years, to attack none of the Light if they bother me not.'

You nod.

Narnokles says 'Let the Lesser Cycles of the mortals of the NEXUS be subsumed into the Greater Cycle of Life and Death.'

You say 'I guess I caught you at a good time then.'

Narnokles nods at you in agreement.

Narnokles says 'The SYNDICATE will be broke and bankrupt.'

Narnokles says 'When last I entered these lands, the Rat King Ithamar himself fell to me.'

Narnokles says 'They are many, and I am few.'

Narnokles says 'But one does not eat a meal of ten thousand steaks in one day.'

You nod.

Narnokles says 'If one merely eats one steak a day for ten thousand days....'

Narnokles says 'It is still accomplished.'

Narnokles says 'And now.'

Narnokles says 'If you will pardon me, milady.'

Narnokles says 'I am going to go to work on these steaks.'

Narnokles kisses your hand. How continental!

Narnokles says 'Good day.'

Narnokles rides south.

He later joined Herald and was an interesting member to say the least.
