I usually do. But this operation is under your command, and we are on your property. He explains the situation. So, I was thinking set the faerie to task as guardian of the Sa Dragonera Vis Pool, barring access to all save for the magi of Sa Dragonera and those that serve them. You see where I am going with this? We need to be clever in our wording and subtle in our application of it. Plan for the future.
Anyway, it offers to submit itself to being reshaped by an artist of my choice. What that means is a mystery to me, but the only artist I know is Carlos and all he does is croon romanceros and strum flamenco. So I was thinking about your friend Donna. That woman is an artist. I saw that wyrm-hide leather armor she made for Arnau and his Flame Brothers before they were reassigned. I want to make her a Warrant Officer in charge of the Armory and get her goods into the hands of our men.
I digress. Watch me, I do that a lot.
But you see my point. Where do you think we should go with this?
"I think those are all good ideas, I wonder if there I a way it could also be called to defend the sanctums of those who are in the Sa Dragonna network." She looks to Felicia.
"Donna would be a good choice, or dough boy, he could probably make some significant changes, but we'd have to be sure to explain what we wanted him to do very slowly."
Who is Dough Boy? Is he that fat kid that cooks for you? I don't think he is the one for this. Donna is my choice.
"Yanni actually cooks at the keep, but either should suffice."
With the plans agreed upon the beast directs you to a hidden niche within his cave, where you are able to dig up 10 rubies and 10 moonstones.
Petrus does not let down his guard, even though the beast is slain. He has no way of knowing whether or not there is another such beast here in the regio.
Also as the beast's surrender is accepted the first beast, which was bleeding towards the back, transforms into an attractive young woman.
Carlos takes quick notice of this.
[color=blue]You seem lost. How can I help you?
Phelippe also remains wary - he doesn't trust the beast's sudden desire to please.
The injured woman glances at the black beast. "I... I need to get back to my father."
"And who is your father?" Petrus says, stepping between the woman and Fleur.
"He is the Lord of the Grove"
"And where might we find him?" Petrus adds.
Epona is also wary, not only of the beast's surrender and giving up a bunch of jewels, but of the other beast's sudden transformation. Too many bad things have happened in this cave, as far as she's concerned, and she hopes that this isn't going to be another one.
She keeps her bow strung and arrow at hand, as she stands by Fleur where she can try to keep an eye on both of the beasts.
"He would be in the grove, if someone wants to give me a hand, I can lead you to him."
The black beast chortles "Be wary the wiles of a woman, she may be more dangerous now than when she was in my court."
Roberto snaps at Carlos. Get back from her. The little beast can take care of herself,
Now you, big beast. Care to explain?
"You are still here, the story is still afoot. Whether you can claim what you have won depends on how it ends. The little beast is no longer mine, so she serves the other master, and attempts to take control of the story to his ends.
"I had a feeling there was more to this than just defeating that beast," Petrus says with a shake of his head.
"Who is the other master?" This last comment is directed at the wounded faerie-beast.
"Her father, the alternate predator. I was predator of claw and tooth, he was the predator of heart and loins. The Seducer."
Ah, th...th...the Ssssss...ss...sssat.... yr. W.w..we mmm.mmmet h..h..him tthhhhhhe fffffirst t..t..t..time.
Carlos shakes his head. [color=blue]Swallow your food before you talk mumble man. I think he means the Satyr. That is Charro's father too. I think. I am escorting the lady home, and that's just the way it is.
