1[21:16] Syracuse Fengari says, "You know, I've never gotten comfortable with that sound."
2[21:16] Vedran Ivanovich asks, "Sound?"
3[21:16] Hathor asks, "What sound?"
4[21:16] Syracuse mimicked the noise of a lock, locking. It was a perfect imitation.
5(Syracuse Fengari)
6--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7
8[21:17] Syracuse Fengari says, "Make's my skin crawl."
9[21:21] Turning her head to the door, she simply just shrugged. "Don't be paranoid Syracuse, if we had any intention to harm you we would've done so outside. Not in our lovely home." Obviously making it appearant to Syracuse that the Nethradin and the Vampire were indeed a couple. She even went the extra mile of simply reaching to hold his hand. Knowing that Syracuse wouldn't judge.
10
11"Vedran here is interested in perhaps becoming a Belialite. So I figured it'd be best he join in on this meeting." The devil then turned her eyes toward her Vampire lover. Waiting to see if he would confirm her words. Though at the same time, she was just looking at him to enjoy his face. Her adoration for Vedran was genuine and radiant, so atypical of one supposedly so vile as a Nethradin.
12(Hathor)
13--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
14
15[21:28] "Personally, I don't have any intention of bloodying my home - Especially with the blood o' another member of the legion." Having the leftover blood-splatter from a cadaver staining his table due to Hathor and Nyphadora's necromantic endeavors' were enough! No more. "Interested, Aye." Grabbing the Nethradin's hand in the meanwhile.
16
17"Hathor has taught me the key principles of Belial, but I've yet to meet another - Haven't necessarily been in touch with Azrael nor Cain despite expectations." Faithless. That's how the Vampire normally preferred it--
18
19This however was a different case, quite the intriguing philosophy.
20
21"So I was hopin' that you'd grant me enlightenment." Turning to face Hathor, and display a faint, yet genuine smile-.. It was almost endearing if you ignored the pointed Canines!
22(Vedran Ivanovich)
23--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
24
25[21:39] The half-horned man cast a glance towards the door, he'd grind his teeth for about five seconds. As if he was processing something or perhaps wondering if he was just being paranoid. He'd then shift his gaze back to Hathor and Vedran, he'd watch the duo for a moment. In fact his scarlet hues seemed to enjoy the sight, there was an honesty there. He'd even offer a soft smile at the sight. If the dream would ever hope to come to fruition couplings like they would need to become the norm.
26
27"Less fear of harm, spent too long in a cell alone. Locks remind me of that time."
28
29His gaze drifted away as he spoke, remembering something that was pleasant. Yet, the faint smile that'd touched his face contorted to a scowl swiftly re-fixing itself to a more manic expression.
30
31His gaze turned towards Vedran, after all he was the one with questions. Syracuse interlaced his fingers, leaning forward as his elbows rested upon the table.
32
33"Azreal is bound and gagged, his touch is long gone. Only through his visions granted by the Oscuri do we get glimpses."
34
35He'd shake his head, that angel had suffered an even crueler fate than Belial. At-least the sealed god could communicate to it's followers.
36
37"You see, I can't grant you enlightenment. Oh, I can show you a path that I tred. I can even offer a hand when you are weakened and weary."
38
39He'd tilt his head, showcasing the broken jagged base of his horn. As if it was symbolic of his own path.
40
41"Yet, I am merely a prophet of Belial. Among other gods. Though, my first bit of advice would be to continue as you are doing now."
42
43He'd gesture with his hand between the two, clearly finding the connection to be one that Belial would be pleased with.
44
45"You exercise the tenet of freedom in this act. Those who obsess over control and domination would try and expunge such relationships. .. "
46
47He'd stop for a moment, his gaze idly drifting towards a window. As if he were looking far away. Down into his own memoires, searingly vibrant.
48
49". . .But! Not Belial, it craves that we of Humanity utilize our free will to become all that we could be."
50
51He'd take a breath, perhaps realizing that he was talking a bit to much.
52
53"After all, we'll all have to choose to fulfill the dream together or it will never come about."
54(Syracuse Fengari)
55--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
56
57[21:43] Hathor remained quiet for the moment, allowing the two to speak. She could add comments to what Syracuse said but yet--- she felt the two men needed to talk amongst themselves for a bit.
58(Hathor)
59--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
60
61[21:56] "Imprisonment within a foreign nation will do that." Shifting his gaze from Hathor and to the Neries, One who the Vampire had only heard stories about-- In fact, despite seeing Syracuse in action? The pair had rarely exchanged words with eachother.
62
63Narrowing his gaze, while leaning forward, propping himself upright with his arms. "Similar to Cain then, Long gone by now-- We've shared zero connection with him other then blood." May as well have been dead. It wasn't like the progenitor communed with his own kin, his children-- They were lost.
64
65"Continue what I'm currently doing...?" Initially puzzled until he'd gesture between the duo-- A coupling most would consider forbidden and unwise.
66
67Yet they defied all caution. "... I see! So, Belial doesn't want us restricted nor' controlled" Like Azrael did. Like Sors does. "... It's funny, my entire race was discarded like refuse, an anomaly because we didn't fall under heel."
68
69How similar they were, except a few more prominent differences.
70
71Giving Hathor's hand a gentle squeeze, still leaned forward-- Eager to learn more about this path they've all chosen.
72
73But, for a moment, the chosen's gaze flickered to the door, contemplating if Eniel was ever going to make a miraculous appearance.
74(Vedran Ivanovich)
75--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
76
77[22:02] Syracuse looked towards the door, however, it did not linger. He'd been asked here to spread the message he'd awoken to. Not to dwell on those who may or may not arrive. Not to dwell on what may or may not take place.
78
79"Azrael wished good for Humanity. Once. However, he suffered one terrible, irreemable flaw."
80
81As the man spoke he'd slowly start run his clawed finger-tip along the surface of the table. Twirling circles around the different little spots of blood.
82
83"He was an Angel, in the end they all darken their wings. Become masters instead of saviors. Yet, we can remember his dream, the wish of this worlds flaws smoothed away."
84
85He'd glance up at Vedran, the case of the vampire was an example of what happened as an angel drifted deeper into the lure of control.
86
87"It's a Dream that the Prophet Sareen took note of for our use. One that, despite the foolishness of our ancestors. Connects with the beliefs of Belial."
88
89He'd tilt his head to the window once more. The soft hues from the moon beyond shining like beacons in his eyes.
90
91"I speak of the tenets, do you know them?"
92(Syracuse Fengari)
93--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
94
95[22:04] Hathor says, "I do not like the idea of trying to fuse the faiths together."
96[22:06] Syracuse Fengari says, "Not many do, it is why I do it."
97[22:08] Hathor says, "I don't feel the tenets of Sareen that speak of mercy and justice are necessarily approriate with Belialism."
98[22:08] Syracuse Fengari says, "Yet, I am blessed."
99[22:08] Vedran wordlessly shook his head, possessing absolutely zero knowledge of any tenets.
100
101"Unfortunately, I do not."
102
103Shifting his sanguine gaze to the little bloodspots that littered his tables, remnants of various feedings and experiments gone awry-- Not commenting on Hathor's concern regarding the fusion of faiths.
104
105Wasn't necessarily knowledge enough to confidently speak on the matter!
106
107"Hard to believe, in the end he created a race that sought to feast on humanity! Ironic."
108
109Tilting his head as his gaze shifted between Hathor and Syracuse-.. Two horned Belialites having a debate.
110(Vedran Ivanovich)
111--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
112
113[22:13] Eniel knocks at the door
114(Eniel Daigal)
115--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
116
117[22:13] Hathor says, "Come in."
118[22:13] Eniel Daigal says, "Sorry...for my lateness."
119[22:17] Smirked as he glanced at the Nethradin, he'd wondered exactly how the old strain of Belialists had operated. He'd hoped to get the chance to debate with them, seemed now was the time. Though, the pure fact he'd been blessed seemed enough proof of his views for him.
120
121He'd instead focus upon Vedran, he'd offer a smile. It was enjoyable to hear one who could admit they didn't know something. The blustering of those to arrogant to see the different paths had been the key thing to irritate him in Huangzhou.
122
123"Would you like to? I've found that they provide a measure of focus. One that I follow out of my own will, as you could do. If you found them to your liking."
124
125A hand came to scratch at the soft stuble of his chin, as he was about to make a comment about the irony of Azreal's creation of vampires.
126
127Then a knock at the door! Rising from his seat he'd wave the young Eniel as they entered.
128
129"Ah! Lad, you've just arrived to a religious commune. Perhaps, you would like to also share your thoughts on the blending of faiths?"
130
131He'd shift to Vedran rolling off to answer his previous statement. A bit of amusement in his voice as he spoke.
132
133"He'd gone mad! To create those who where blessed with the heights of Human emotion and then try and lease them like dogs? An angel's arrogance if there ever was one. Yet, when one loses their mind such things happen."
134
135He didn't seem to find the paradox of Azrael's original goal, with his latter actions to be an issue. Perhaps, being just as insane made it understandable.
136
137"Though, even before I was blessed I found the feeding of vampires exciting, I've always found others that are so fearful regarding it as odd."
138
139He'd hum as he thought back to his youthful interactions in Obsidia. Giving the duo time to speak, ask questions, respond. To act upon what they desired most out of his presence.
140(Syracuse Fengari)
141--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
142
143[22:25] As Eniel arrived he'd apologize again to everyone for his tardiness yet the linger anger of the match between him and his brother remained. He wouldn't forget it either. He clutched his cloak as he sat down allowing the anger to subside.
144
145As he listened to Syracuse speak he knew some of the odd stories regarding Azrael and his connecting with the first vampire Cain but he could not say he was learned probably in this subject so with that he left it alone.
146
147What he cared for more was the words of the Belialites of old and the ones of now. " I want to know how I can be blessed in the same way you are..I have sworn myself to Belial on many occasions and I've even heard the voices of the Red stars bring back his messages but never have I yet to hear the Sealed ones words directly...and I wonder what is preventing me from doing so...The stars tell me of my destiny but I wonder if that much is true even now I have doubts. That I am adequate enough to live up to what he bade me."
148
149Eniel thought about the recent losses he faced...was he truly the one for the task he wondered? What would his role be otherwise...He had to do something proactive otherwise his madness would take over him in the most horrid of ways.
150(Eniel Daigal)
151--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
152
153[22:26] Sliding her hand back into Vedran's own, the Nethradin who was so publicly restrained adored what moments she could have embracing what small bits of love and romance she could. For the moment, the red-skinned woman took a glance at Vedran, smiling.
154
155"I have no abrasion to feeding my dearest blood when he needs, mmm? It is an exciting feeling but one I rather not discuss in full length." She then paused. Turning over toward Eniel and then Syracuse. "Azraelism is the antithesis to Belial. Where as the former wants control and domination, the latter wants freedom at any costs. Azraelism should never be blended with Belialism. Nor should worship of this Dreamer. Because it was Azraelites who sealed him--- for simply wanting to let Humanity be free." Her own personal opinion as a traditionalist when it came to Belial. It was the only fragment of Memories she retained from her human life.
156
157"I believe however, before we move to liberate the Apostles we should first discuss how we all might regain that crimson power. And how we can free ourselves adequately enough." A subtle hint at her bondage to Sors. It may not be appeaant, but even now she felt those aetheric stakes in her hands and in her ankles.
158(Hathor)
159--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
160
161[22:27] "I don't see the harm. Haven't had necessarily any tenants or anythin' to guide my immortal life, nor provide much focus." He'd shout as the common riff-raff decided to knock at his door! Stepping away from his seat to undo the door, it'd remain that way for comfort's sake.
162
163"An experimental attempt at Necromancy! To create perfectly immortality that resulted in our precursor-- Don't think he expected us to multiply in the rapid fashion that we did."
164
165Ironic. Discarded for being free and unchained by Azrael's own will. He'd quirk a brow in curiosity, to think that someone welcomed the feeding of his kin?! Inconceivable! Most were cautious, if not downright terrified!
166
167".. Do note, I imagine that I can't necessarily get that weird, glowly red blessing but it's interesting to hear about." Glancing at the red-skinned woman, it felt nice..
168
169Not having to hide.
170
171"But-.. Yeah. No magic."
172(Vedran Ivanovich)
173--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
174
175[22:31] Hathor whispers something.
176[22:49] The horned man would listen as those who'd gathered spoke. From Eniel's desperate attempts to prove himself to Belial, to Hathor's open disgust of Azrealism, finally to Vedran's desire to learn more.
177
178He'd tap his claw upon the table as he pondered how best to begin. It was clear that Hathor detested his own approach. It was unsurprising she no doubt was originally from that era in the past where the Dreamer's teachings weren't so understood or appreciated.
179
180"I'll start with telling you the Tenets handed down by Sareen Vedran. As I think you may find guideposts in life as useful as I do. After all, where you see the endless expanse of boredom that comes from aimlessness. I drifted in my own madness most of my adult life, anchors as some of us would know."
181
182A subtle dig at the Nethradin who resided in the room. Just a small attempt really to connect the point of his willingness to adhere to the tenets.
183
184"I'll keep it simple. As I can tell my more traditional minded friends are excited to learn how they can gain Belial's favor."
185
186He'd raise a single digit, starting with the first tenet. As he spoke going through the tents he'd add more fingers. Coming up in the end to four in total.
187
188"Pursue progress, so that all of Kraus' creations may grow closer to a utopia. Second seek truth, for understanding the differences between us brings us further to our own truth. It was this tenet that lead me to being the Prophet of Belial and the last bastion of the Grey Church upon Agartha."
189
190It was an odd statement, blasphemy. Oh so sweet and delicate. One only someone who'd believed in their own choices could claim.
191
192"Third stability, we'll all have to unite for our Utopia to be achieved. For our god to be unsealed. It was the bickering's of old that I believe led to the faith's destruction. Four, temper all of these with Justice, Mercy, and Wisdom. Least you lose sight of who you are."
193
194He'd then give a flash of a smile. Raising his thumb for the fith tenet. Speaking as he went.
195
196"This tenet, I discovered in my enlightenment. The Tenet of Freedom. Seek out the sensations of this world, be true to yourself, only accept the bounds you desire."
197
198He'd tilt his head between the two lovers, a bound they desired. It was simple really. Then he'd take a breath shifting to Hathor.
199
200"The god's fight, they always will. That does not mean we cannot find common ground with the faiths. After all, I believe Azreal is sealed within the moon alongside Belial. To gain the Oscuri and Valmasian aid in our efforts to free it?"
201
202It could be taken as either an example of Syracuse' faith in his beliefs or perhaps hints of someone willing to manipulate countless others for his goal.
203
204Finally he shifted his gaze to Eniel, the young lad who'd more want to prove themselves to Belial than any he'd seen.
205
206"Eniel, you'll have to live your life FREE stride proud in who you are as a person. You may use those guideposts I spoke of or follow the old way. It matter's not."
207
208He'd tilt his head towards the youth, a familiar smirk settling upon his features as he continued.
209
210"So long as it's your choice, do you understand? The fifth tenet, live life to the fullest. Engage in the wilds of love, the depths of hatred, whatever you desire."
211
212It was how he'd became blessed, surely other's who lived life as he did could do the same?
213
214Finally at the end he'd look back to Vedran, answering a few small bits.
215
216"I wished to experience all the world had to offer. So, when Donovan approached me with hunger in her eyes. I decided to feed them, simply because I'd never did it."
217
218He'd chuckle at that, the ironies piercing together. Then as if to further the vampires concern about not gaining access to Belials touch.
219
220"Now, I feed her when she needs it and she has taken me her son. She can feel the gift of Belial when she feeds or is close. You could to, once Hathor reproves herself."
221(Syracuse Fengari)
222--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
223
224[23:00] Raising up from her chair, the Nethradin made sure to allow the hand within her lovers to rise up his am, and slowly, she'd move to place both hands onto the shoulders of the Vampire. With a pause, she spoke out cleanly, almost angered. Perhaps with her experience in being part of the afterlife would make the others believe in what she said.
225
226"Azrael is not in the moon with Belial. Azrael is the one who SEALED him and the Apostles. And this Sareen? She isn't deserving of having her tenets merged with the philosophy brought out by Belial. How can you at once speak of mercy in one go, but pursuing ones wrath in the same breath? Can you truly believe that those who would hinder us deserve the same respect as those who have taught us we have our own free will?" Both hands of the Nethradin began to dig in Vedran's shoulders. A way for her to vent her anger. After all, any cuts she'd make on him would regenerate flawlessly.
227
228"People like Sors� who are Azraelites and who bind me, embarrass me. Treat me like an animal... You know it was not the Krausites who caused Valamsia's cult to go under yes? But rather the Azraelites. Fulfilling their Master's wish to subject those who did not want to embrace freedoms."
229(Hathor)
230--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
231
232[23:04] Peculiar! The ability to embrace Belial's blessing due to feeding off a believer-- Glancing over to Hathor, her whisper more then affirming that idea. Tenet of Freedom.
233
234It dawned upon the vampire that he'd already achieved what he sought after, bound to his Nethradin lover-.. Truly a tenet that he could approve of.
235
236Justice, Mercy, and Wisdom, however? Stability. Wasn't necessarily a trio of virtues that Vedran was necessarily in touch with! Pausing, as both the Nethradin's hands latched onto her shoulders-- Pupils dilating as they spoke..
237
238"You know-- I haven't necessarily inquired the 'who' or the 'what' Belial is!" Seemingly ignoring Hathor's pointed claws that dug at his shoulders-- Must've been experienced some older wounds from her past life..
239
240"Don't think I've allowed a certain Nethradin to feed off my mana as of yet.."
241(Vedran Ivanovich)
242--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
243
244[23:12] Eniel thinks for a moment these tenements made little sense to him and as Syracuse spoke more and more of the combining of the faiths his eyes tended to slant and grow more a bit more skeptical of Syracuse.
245
246
247" While its probably true our Faith is first and for most to liberate and to free its less about the gods and their fighting and more about what the overarching goal is. Oscuri are violently prohibited from following in the steps of other gods beyond their own. Most of Valmasian culture is built upon Azrael and the grey church and...Introducing the enemy of the 'Angels' themselves would never stand.
248
249Belial resists the Angels of all creeds...It is the exact reason why Belial exists and although you may be blessed by him it is the Angels who shackled the very existence of him from this realm. You're asking for Oil and water to mix in the same bottle...I do not think it will happen and even if it did it would only take one coalition of Oscuri to stop it from becoming a reality."
250
251Eniel had experienced many of tyranny under the faithful of Azrael and while he may serve into he Morninglords Legion now he held no true faith in their creeds beyond his own grasps of power.
252
253Hearing the seething venom of Hathor's words Eniel could only agree with what she was saying despite not knowing any of the history or anger behind it. He could feel it in his spirit that it wasn't something that was possible.
254
255" I think...you're being far to optimistic while not everyone here in Dawn shares high faith in Azrael there are many who do and many who will fight to keep their lords aspects wholesome. I grew up most my life in Valmasia and I know how Oscuri can be when challenged in their faith. It is not something I wish to recreate in Agartha...and Neries are not exempt from this either although they tend to be far less brutal when challenged...Those are just my opinions though." Eniel then placed his hand on the table to receive.
256
257"Even if We are not able to agree upon this pantheon idea of yours I find it less likely that the others outside of ourselves will either. The concept of Azrael no matter how distorted. Is to enslave and abuse power and dominance and control. To bind the souls to others for your own selfish desires. The creed of Angels who follow Kruas and the Lifestream is to enact peace and balance they choose to invoke trust with the lifestream and let the world fall into disaster as long as it is the natural flow of the world. Even if they themselves cause the disaster how ever many mortals give their lives for their cause is justified.
258
259And as for us. Myself and Hathor. We believe in breaking the shackles Angels have placed on our world. We require true liberation not half conceived concept of an ideal world. Some people will have to suffer. Some people will have to die...and some people will need be sacrificed for the greater good of our freedoms to eventually secure our lords glory once more...We cannot avoid this, The path to Liberating Agartha will be filled with blood and gore, It will be peerless and difficult, and we will perhaps be in the shadows of the world for along time. But it is better than betraying our core concepts at least the ones I have learned Fundamentally. The blending of concepts will not aid us...they will hinder us and eventually cause our demise." Eniel had said his peace at least from what he thought..He knew Hathor felt quite similar looking at how she squeezed Vedran's shoulders.
260
261(Eniel Daigal)
262--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
263
264[23:22] Shifting his gaze about the room he took in the responses as they came. With a swiftness that showcased his willingness to speak to all comers of the conversation he'd respond to each.
265
266"Azrael is not on Eternia, he'd have been found an unsealed by now. Thus, only the moon remains. If it is true we free two of the old gods, who perhaps have found common ground in their shared imprisonment. If not? Well the Oscuri who believe us have just aided us free him."
267
268He'd offer a shrug, it seemed logical enough to him. Though, perhaps that was the issue, to logical. He'd scratch his chin at the mention of Sors.
269
270"Sors ain't a faithful, man just uses it as an excuse for his own desires. Best you might say he looks up to the thing Azreal became."
271
272With a soft hum of cosmic energy trailing along his tattoed rune-ways. The horned man woul move past it, shifting to Vedran, after all he wasn't about to debate a Nethradin to much. They couldn't change from what they where in life after all. Or at-least, that was what he'd been told.
273
274"I think Belial is Azreal and Azreal is Belial. Yet, who can even say? After-all I am quite intude with my gods and necessarily rather mad! Bwahahaha!"
275
276His hearty laugh echoed throughout the room as he accentuated that point. As if it was an amusing joke.
277
278"The answer is simple, I don't know. Any who'd tell you they did know, well their a fool or worse a liar. As for allowing Hathor to nip upon your mana? I say why not give it a try."
279
280Offering a shrug he shifted to Eniel, listening to the lad's explanation of his own viewpoints. Giving a nod as he expressed such venom, another traditionalist.
281
282"Good points, good points, I can see where your coming from. Though don't forget, I to was born and raised in Valmasia. I grew up with those same Oscuri and I imagine even more Neries."
283
284He'd give a chuckle, he was a Neries after all. He knew well enough of their own devotion. Though after a moment he'd answer the denial of an ideal world being possible.
285
286"I'll be honest, I think you and Hathor won't see my way of things. Yet, the best part? I don't care. My freedom, my belief in what could be a Utopia? Well, it's my own."
287
288As he spoke there'd be the ever increasing sparking of corrupted mana dancing along his skin. Why, if he was wrong and they right. Why was he blessed?
289
290"Though, in the end our goal is the freeing of Belial from it's imprisonment. I for one will embrace the Tenets and praise our diversity, our ability to be united in the this goal."
291
292He'd tilt his head back to Vedran, after all he was the one on the line. Not the other two Belialists.
293
294"What of you Vedran, as I said you must walk your own path. Whether it be the old or the new, I will be pleased so long as it is /your/ choice."
295
296The cosmic wreathed man emphasized that it had to be the vampires own choice. After all, to try and force him wouldn't be very much adhering to the fifth tenet.
297(Syracuse Fengari)
298--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
299
300[23:30] Whether or not Vedran had stake in the debate, as Syracuse was shrouded in a corrupted presence of mana-- Blessed by Belial! It felt as if neries was definitely doing something proper, whether or not it was commonly agreed upon. "Your path doesn't necessarily incorrect, you've managed to achieve your blessing regardless - I'm curious.. does the particular path itself matter? Or the results?"
301
302Peeling his gaze away from Syracuse, directed upward at the Nethradin currently clawing at his shoulders.. "Unsure. I'll be honest, I feel like it'll come to me in time-- Got all the time in the world." Unless he fell victim to war.
303
304"Regardless! I can certainly see myself gettin' more invested in Belial's unsealment."
305(Vedran Ivanovich)
306--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
307
308[23:35] With a nod of his head, well several nods. The man seemed to have grown more manic with each second of the mana's coursing through his circuitry.
309
310"So long as the path you choose is one you wish to follow? Then it does not matter, your own will's use is what Belial desires to see. I am proof of that."
311
312He'd shake his shoulders a bit, using up some of that nervous energy. He'd stand up giving Vedran a nod as he did so.
313
314"So long as we don't die killing those damn jinks! My friend where right in that regard, someone's gotta get pipe'd so we can have our dreams come true."
315(Syracuse Fengari)
316--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
317
318[23:40] Eniel merely watched as the Vampire and the Neires discussed. It seemed Vedran was rather indifferent which was mostly expected but most of all he did purpose a question that resonated with him. ' Does the particular path itself matter or the result?' Eniel thought to himself about his own answer to the purposed.
319
320" In a situation like that I would like to go to the worst case scenario, We announce or faith publicly and it is rejected. All who followed the worship of the Moon. And this has been done many times before especially by the Hands of Azraelites Hathor can remember far more vividly than I can read from books however.."
321
322" I just don't trust them Syracuse Its good that you can but it does nothing to further the goal of releasing Belial if we work with Azraelites it makes things more difficult if we try to accomedate everyone and it makes the task you're attempting even more unnecessary... If we take the path that is laid out for us we will have our goal accomplished. But taking the route where it involves other aspects? It invites deceit and rebellion and the eventual cleansing of Belial entirely for another decade if any remain."
323
324Eniel stood up it seemed there was nothing more to discuss about it..he would have to follow his own path of the stars and leave whatever Syracuse was doing ot his own.
325
326" Since you follow our lord clearly I will always have your back but as far as working with those of Azrael my duty is merely a passenger. I won't expose myself in any capacity. But I do wish you luck and if your soul is to be taken by them I will do my utmost to revive your memory in our rituals."
327(Eniel Daigal)
328--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
329
330[23:41] Syracuse Fengari says, "I already publicly announced myself a prophet at the Tournament."
331[23:41] Eniel Daigal says, "You have. Not everyone."
332[23:41] Syracuse Fengari exclaims, "Exactly!"
333[23:41] Syracuse Fengari says, "I'm a canary, see if I die."
334[23:41] Hathor says, "Syracuse makes a good 'Face'."
335[23:41] Hathor says, "Due to his wish to blend the faiths."
336[23:41] Syracuse Fengari says, "And my good looks."
337[23:42] Eniel Daigal says, "So..."
338[23:42] Vedran Ivanovich says, "Sacrifical lamb."
339[23:42] Hathor says, "You may be the second most handsome gentleman I now, Syracuse."
340[23:42] Eniel Daigal says, "You want to use him as a misdirection."
341[23:42] Syracuse Fengari says, "Use him? How very Azrealite of you."
342[23:42] Vedran Ivanovich asks, "Misdirection?"
343[23:42] Syracuse Fengari says, "No, I wish to walk freely. So, I do."
344[23:43] Syracuse shrugged, it was simple. No one had manipulated him to make his faith known.
345(Syracuse Fengari)
346--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
347
348[23:43] Eniel Daigal says, "Myself and Hathor carry out our plans in secret while Syrcaus invokes his liberites of all reliigions."
349[23:43] Hathor says, "Syracuse does what he wants and by proxy enables those wh oare inbetween faiths to lean our way."
350[23:43] Eniel Daigal says, "Mhm."
351[23:43] Vedran Ivanovich says, "Huh..."
352[23:43] Hathor says, "We then take that lean and completely push them into the depths of what it is to be Us."
353[23:44] Syracuse Fengari says, "Then they choose what to believe."
354[23:44] Hathor says, "Our paths intersect and can be mutually benefitical."
355[23:44] Eniel Daigal says, "I feel the blending of cultures has always failed or has lead to more violent rebeillon...This is what history has shown us time and time again."
356[23:44] Hathor says, "And it's not like the prior three tenets seem to hold as much sway over him."
357[23:44] Eniel Daigal says, "Just as the Krausite extigusihed Azraelism once before."
358[23:45] Syracuse Fengari says, "Sounds exciting to me."
359[23:45] Vedran Ivanovich says, "We'll all seem in time."
360[23:45] Vedran Ivanovich asks, "Won't we?"
361[23:45] Syracuse Fengari says, "Well, we could all die fighting the Sheng."
362[23:45] Vedran Ivanovich says, "That'd be a disappointing finish."
363[23:45] Eniel Daigal says, "My destiny isn't to die there."
364[23:45] Syracuse Fengari asks, "Wouldn't it?"
365[23:46] Vedran Ivanovich says, "Quite."
366[23:46] Eniel Daigal says, "Even if Sheng destroys Dawn I have plans for after."
367[23:46] Eniel Daigal says, "It would be unfortunate though...It would set me back years"
368[23:46] Syracuse Fengari says, "If I'm alive at that point I'll simple go to Obsidia."
369[23:46] Syracuse Fengari says, "Nice place, warm weather."
370[23:46] Hathor says, "I've made motions to get our priviledges to visit crafthold back, Vedran."
371[23:46] Syracuse Fengari says, "Very good bathhouse."
372[23:46] Vedran Ivanovich asks, "You have...?"
373[23:46] Vedran Ivanovich says, "How."
374[23:46] Hathor says, "I'm a very convincing woman."
375[23:46] Vedran Ivanovich says, "Also! Ugh-- Heat! Ain't the fondest of Obsidia."
376[23:46] Vedran Ivanovich says, "That ain't cryptic at all."
377[23:47] Eniel Daigal says, "Its unfortuante though I had hoped we would all be on similar pages. So we could plan the most effective way to free Belial."
378[23:47] Syracuse Fengari says, "Well ol'Malentine ain't gonna let us use the mountains."
379[23:47] Hathor says, "You know I enjoy being cryptic."
380[23:47] Syracuse Fengari says, "Eniel, my young friend. You're just that, young. Give it time, you'll find our diversity much more exciting than if we where all the same."
381[23:47] Vedran Ivanovich says, "Those old mountains belonged ta' us once durin' the days of Baukdengrad."
382[23:48] Vedran Ivanovich says, "I came outta' that big rift."
383[23:48] Hathor says, "...Oh I did want to mention something."
384[23:48] Syracuse Fengari exclaims, "I heard about some of that!"
385[23:48] Eniel Daigal says, "doubtful...I think this will result in your death most likely."
386[23:48] Syracuse Fengari says, "I'm hard to kill."
387[23:48] Hathor asks, "SHould any of you find information on Nethradin binding; do tell me, won't you?"
388[23:48] Eniel Daigal says, "But I'm willing to see it through to that conclusion."
389[23:48] Syracuse Fengari says, "That! I apprecaite."
390[23:49] Hathor says, "See if I can't reverse-engineer the spell to allow me to remain here while also being free."
391[23:49] Syracuse Fengari says, "Hathor, I'll ask my mother about it. Perhaps she's some wisdom regarding it."
392[23:49] Eniel Daigal says, "My master is a very zealous man even if he masquerades as not After this war he will do his best to drain any chance of himself being over thrown. Thats my assumption at least."
393[23:50] Syracuse Fengari says, "I've no doubt of that Eniel, none at all."
394[23:50] Hathor says, "And if not, perhaps I can find someone much more..."
395[23:50] Syracuse Fengari says, "But! I'm going to go talk to my mother if she's about. Care to open the door? I think this meeting was quite successful."
396[23:50] Hathor moves a hand to Vedran's jaw, aiming to give it a gentle caress.
397(Hathor)

399
400[23:50] Hathor says, "Accepting of me to be my anchor."
401[23:50] Vedran Ivanovich says, "You're acting like we're plannin' a coup, Eniel.."
402[23:50] Eniel Daigal asks, "Was it?"
403[23:51] Eniel Daigal says, "It seems we just split our selves into different factions."
404[23:51] Vedran Ivanovich says, "Mm.."
405[23:51] Syracuse Fengari says, "We learned about one another, and figured out what makes us different."
406[23:51] Hathor says, "Let me allow these two gentlemen out."
407[23:51] Vedran Ivanovich says, "Yer' thinking about this in a very divided manner."
408[23:51] Vedran Ivanovich says, "We all have the same goal."
409[23:51] Vedran Ivanovich asks, "Do we not?"
410[23:51] Syracuse Fengari says, "Exactly."
411[23:51] Vedran Ivanovich says, "Simply varying methods."
412[23:52] Syracuse Fengari says, "Some more. . . Modern other's more traditional."
413[23:52] Syracuse Fengari says, "None wrong per se."
414[23:52] Eniel Daigal says, "Hm...It lessens the cause if we die though. Is my point. Exposing your neck to unnecssary danger is..."
415[23:52] Syracuse Fengari asks, "Excillerating?"
416[23:52] Eniel stood up and sighed. What was the point with arguing with a madman? It seemed everyone had already made their choices long before hand.
