Mire story

[10:12] The eldest didn't really care about all these plans and ideas, yet he was willing to support the youthful interests of conquest and desire. If they had a Fire in the Mire then perhaps not everything would be so dire.

"You have a mind, something that isn't in a bind. That is good in this hood, just remember in December when they try to dismember that we always remember." a few steps were taken as he was looking through all of the items he had intended to merge together and bring into this realm. Unlya and Azan had a few more key ingredients inside of their home that he needed to relinquish.

"Anything is possible and crossable, just need the time and a proper Rhyme. Once we are done everything can be left to a son." there were light steps that he could feel, it dragged his attention as he could also sense a light degree of mana... Something he didn't know.

His attention shifted and drifted as his eyes told him lies, why was another youth looking to lose a tooth? "Do you understand where you are? This isn't a place that you can run very far. There is a toll if you wish to stroll."
(Rigs)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[10:15] Balimund wasn't sure where he was the boy saw a cave and assumed there could be ore there, but he found something totally different. Two people unsure if they are men or creatures.

"I think it's another cave, but something about that says otherwise... If I'm wrong do you mind telling me where I am?"

He didn't think there needed to be tolls within a cave, but he started to jingle the little bit of coin in his pocket.

"How much coin do I need to pay? I don't have much at the moment, but I'll pay whatever it is."

The young boy started counting his coin.
(Balimund)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[10:20] The ominous presence of Rigs was certainly one that would push the assumption he was no mere human, rather a Mutant of the Dark and this was no park.

"You are a fool, not very cool. The toll isn't about money, don't be funny. We accept blood, though less than a flood." a vial was removed from one of his many pockets alongside a knife. This youth was going to learn just what approaching the Shadowmire was all about.

"We take a drop and watch it plop, this is for our Mother no other. If you resist then you will smother. Your heart will stop as we chop and pop, even put you in a shop." the disgusting voice was like a layered cacophony which reverberated out of his chest, the only working component on Rigs face was his eyes.

Taking a painful step forth the crunching of metal seemed to linger like a finger "Will you resist and eat a fist? Or you wish to live and will give?" another step forward extending the vial with a disfigured right arm which was enlarged with a purple coloration and exuded a green occultic miasmas.
(Rigs)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[10:30] "Hold you I'm confused you want blood for your mother? Where is she I don't see a mother around here.." Perhaps it was better if he kept quiet for now since he wasn't much a big fighter at the moment. He coughs and tugs on his collar for a moment. "So, you just want some of my blood and I can walk around this place? It doesn't seem that hard but..."

He remembered what the old man said 'you'd likely lose my blood smiting than anything else..' He pulled a little dagger from his toolbelt and cut his hand. He was going to go for a finger, but that likely wouldn't be enough.

Balimund however did close his eyes as his hand started to bleed something serious..

"Here take it I'm not gong to fight over this... it's just not worth fighting over.."

He turned his head and allowed him to do as he pleased Balimund just wasn't ready for any of that yet.
(Balimund)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[10:41] The vial was held out under the hand that started to bleed, he was collecting as much as seemed to fall into the container even though he just needed a drop. Silly mortals never understood when he spoke about quantity, that was exactly what he had meant.

"It's not hard, but many like to be a bard. They bitch and moan until their final groan. Many die because they won't comply." it was a pathetic truth but that was the way of this place, they needed to prove that with a face.

"I am the King of Rhymes, committer of crimes. Rigs you Digs? I lead the Shadowmire and if you didn't comply things would have gotten very dire. I'd take your face to a mace without the grace of a chase, you wouldn't be able to brace."

True words fell through the air as he would put the vial back into his pocket, much like a stolen locket. "Do not start a fight because you do not have the might, many are a blight." taking a fewsteps away with some delay, he didn't know if they would stay.
(Rigs)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[10:50] Well, this was a good time to put his medical skills to use or what at least what he was taught from Aries. He poured some disinfected on his wound and it stung like a bitch. He wrapped some cloth around his hand while looking up at Rigs.

"King of rhyme? So, I'm guessing you're like a bad guy or something right? I don't know much about the world or what's even going on. Truth be told I haven't been many places since city life isn't something I really want.

So, I guess you can say I'm kinda like a nomad? You didn't really ask, so I'm not sure if you care, but yeah. I'm just a traveling boy who's trying to become a good smith and doctor."

He nods and the wound was patches up for the time being.

"So, I'm guessing this place is the shadowmire? It sounds like a creepy place if I'm being honest, but yeah... I'm good right? I won't get attacked or anything right?"
(Balimund)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[10:59] "I am bad, nobody is glad. You would be had. I am evil like a weevil, one from the dark yet I have more bite than bark." it was like dark music started to play as he was taking shuffled steps forward, perhaps it was just inside of his head "I kill for the thrill, their souls pay the bill. I live in the night and spread out fright as my delight."

"I really don't care, that's why I didn't dare. But that is how you fare." an idea was coming to mind as they were talking of their bind "We have plenty that can teach, though you would have to listen to them preach. The good Mother is one that would make you a brother, unless you wanted to remain an other. Then you will eventually smother." it was his effort to lure in the child, sometimes one needed to make it.

"It is a place of despair, you can smell it in the air. But would you dare to care about the bear that lives in a lair?" curious question.
(Rigs)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[11:07] "The good mother make me a brother?"

Something about this sounded like a cult, but he felt he could be looking a little to deep into it. He just nods his head still unsure of what he was even nodding his head to.

"Right mother makes brother."

He was pretty sure that's how families worked, but the way the man worded some of his phrases make him question everything. Perhaps he should think so deep into it, but he couldn't with all that rhyming.

"Well, I'm always willing to learn I don't want to be an other.. that's sound like a poor title to have. I rather be a brother that only makes more sense, right?"

He wasn't asking them, but it might appear that way; he was mentally trying to make sense of his situation.
(Balimund)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[11:09] Sachiko Tsuki says, "Chief."
[11:09] Sachiko Tsuki asks, "I think this will pay for my freedom?"
[11:14] The Rhymes were certainly riddles that were shrouded in mystery, for one of the Shadowmire it might sound like fire as he was spreading the dire word of Mother to another waiting for them to get smother like a brother. It was great to relate and sate the hate through debate.

"You will see that there is no glee, when Mother smother you will know less the other. You can feel, the word will seal. Perhaps some veal that looks teal." madness was circling like a vulture waiting to crack through the shell and swell.

It was then that Sachiko returned to the Shadowmire with a rather heaping helping of coins, looking it over he was enthused by what had happened and laid out but a single question. "Where did you find? Somebody happen to bind?" curious it was.

"I see you have plenty more, that is something to adore." a blade which looked rather intriguing. Perhaps the Bellboy had found a new toy.
(Rigs)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[11:18] Something was off even when he felt like he was catching up to what the guy was saying he was lost yet again. He felt like they were still talking about the same thing; however he just took a moment to process it all.

"Uh, so does that mean I'm a brother now or does that mean I need to learn? I don't know, but I think that means I'm a brother..?"

It would take him a while to catch on to what the man was saying, but he started to understand a little more or that's at least what he told himself.
(Balimund)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[11:26] "You will need to learn, that title is something you earn. If you wish to stay and not be flay then you can play. Perhaps Drokagir here can steer, unless there is a fear when it comes to one being near?" turning his head toward the newest Forgemaster and even hinting toward Sachiko... perhaps they could work on the youth that had found themselves lost in this place.

"Together you could weather and a tether with this feather before turning them into leather." it was a possibility since they didn't seem to be running away in terror, for whatever reason... So why not try to take them in.

"You both know enough of Mother to turn an other into a brother. If you don't oh things just won't. We need to teach and preach so everyone will be a peach." otherwise Nyx would be forgotten, that was something he would not see happen.
(Rigs)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[11:29] So he wasn't a brother yet, but he could be once people finished teaching him? It seems he finally managed to understand something that rigs was saying to him.

"So, which one am I suppose to learn from? I'm guessing it's the guy right there with the hood? I think the guy in the read name was something else. I'm not sure if you said it or not."

Was it hot in here or was it just him? Perhaps the wound was affecting his hearing, but it seems he got his foot in the door, but he wasn't sure where that would lead him.

"Well, I guess I'm ready to learn?"
(Balimund)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[11:31] Sachiko has been traveling far and low through the night, and her movements have been strange, to say the least. The constant snorting of the Sylv and the euphoria were eating away at his consciousness, and the slaying of the blue-haired freak only snapped the last thread of humanity holding the lad together.

"Rigs. I was able to assassinate the man who assassinated my father..."

He had only just entered the Shrine when he caught a glimpse of the conversation going on. We appear to have a new member? Yet the smell of blood and the desire for it seemed to float around Sachiko, who slammed his fist into his thigh to keep himself in check and focused his gaze on Rigs.

"Honor was returned to me, and in exchange, I snatched this. Wear it with pride, because another gleaming knight has fallen."
(Sachiko Tsuki)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[11:45] From the conversation of converting a new person into the fold of the Shadowmire to the assassination of one that killed Sachiko's father, it was drastically different and rather amusing since this was the Mire. Complete and utter chaos that spread and bled into all, that was the part which proved from the start. "Well done my son, you have proved worthy of upholding a gun. I hope it was rather fun." though this talk of honor was very odd, he was part of the freak not exactly one that should hang onto those things that made others a peak. Honour was more or less a waste of Time, it didn't sit properly with a Rhyme.

"I will take, perhaps it will assure that others break." looking it over, was much like a little bell. How very swell, one who may have been fell. It was thumb-sized and seemed to be made of a mysterious blend of ancient, enchanted metals and gold that sat beautifully tethered to a thin twine. One could tell this was of celestial influence which made it so amusing to have, so many of Osrona and other parts in this country wore these things. "I appreciate the gift, finally something that isn't thrift." placing it upon his neck, it was... dangerous to wear this type of item. Perhaps an evil presence with something of light would fight, but he was more of a blight.

"As for the boy, our new toy. They need to learn, their brain just needs a turn. Who might be willing to preach? Everyone needs a teach." his gaze drifting through them all, wondering who wanted to pick up the ball. This was their chance to take a stance, prove their grove.
(Rigs)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[11:50] He continued to cross his arms over his chest as he looked at Sachiko then at the others. He wondered what was the current conversation about. He exhaled sharply.

"We need to start plans on furthering the Shadowmire so the newer generation can prosper after we're gone. It makes no sense we're still existing within the cave and not inside a fort or something. Plus the fort would be more fortified than anything.. it'll make attacks against us more hard to succeed." He stated.

He hoped the others would value his opinion on this. They did need to construct a fort, probably near the academy so they can continue their rivalry with the Starfall Academy.

He knew constructing a fort near Osrona would probably be bad news since they're one of the strongest cities that holds magis capable of anything. He cleared his throat.

"Yes, I was there when Sachiko killed the Knight. He was nothing short of amazing. Ifeel worried for his safety going forth though.. Osrona will try to kill him whatever chance they get." He said.

He kissed his teeth then closed his eyes for a second.

"Rigs, did Unlaya leave anything in the chests that I can put to my weapon? Of course, I'll pay you for it." He states.

"Without it, I still have good enough items to perfect my weapon with." He said, clearing his throat.
(Drokagir Wraithbane)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[11:52] Sachiko Tsuki says, "I believe expansion for the Shadowmire is will deserved."
[11:55] He looks around it seems like nothing of them jumped at the opportunity or maybe he just didn't understand them. "So, who is suppose to be teaching me?"

The wound was finally giving him some trouble; he decided to put more disinfected over the cut. He wrapped a clean cloth around the area and looked at the group.

"I mean.. I'm willing to learn I don't have anything but time right now, so let's do it."

They were all talking about three different things in front of him like they didn't know he was standing right here. Balimund couldn't have been invisible or could he..
(Balimund)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[11:55] Drokagir Wraithbane asks, "Who's this?"
[11:58] Sachiko Tsuki asks, "Is this a new Mutant ?"
[11:58] Drokagir Wraithbane asks, "What's your name?"
[11:58] Balimund asks, "A what?"
[11:58] Balimund says, "My name is Balimund."
[11:58] Rigs says, "They are a human, perhaps soon to be a newman."
[11:59] Rigs says, "As for the forge, I have been trying to engorge."
[11:59] Rigs was still searching for the keys...
