A very loud and powerful boom rings out thru Keyoda's Hut.. "Sombitch!! Well I need to remember NEVER to do that again." He walks over and notices his eyes in the mirror. They were a frosty blue. Like the color of a crystal clear lake that was frozen. "What the hell?" He touches his face and his hands were very cold and of the same color as his eyes. "Umm ok that is new. I should've know better than to tamper with 1 of his contraptions. <oog "his" is in referance to his father> nothing good has ever come from it." Walks out of his hut, a little unsteady since his vision is a lil impaired from the blast and straight for the healer's den. "Well I hope the den has a fire so I can rest in front of it until this wears off. <oog 4 hour in-game time>
Akon frowns, focusing in on the man and seeing him looking like he is not quite steady. She reaches a strong arm out to steady him. "I heard a large boom if that is what you are refering to? Was it from your doing then? Usually that's the sound of someone's personal quarters getting ambushed..or raided...or a tavern being blown up...." she sighs. "Regardless, are you alright? What happened?"
I should've known better to tamper w/ a crazy man's bombs. They rarely do what they are 'pose to do. I was seeing how dad made them so damn cold. Well as ya can guess I think I found out. It's a liquid of some kind with herbs i believe and now I have to pay for my stupidity. <giggles a little> If ya could help me to a warm fire so this will burn off I will be very grateful. Since I can't see all that well and my hands are no longer usable for the moment it would be pointless to try and build one myself as I my do more harm than good with that effort.
Akon looks over the man, seeing his bow and nodding. "Yes, you have it with you. Last I checked, I didn't notice a fire pit in the healers den, but you are welcome to come to my quarters and I shall start a fire for you. You are welcome to sit until you are warmed." She says, begining to direct him towards her own lodge.
Akon smiles at the kind words, helping the man to her cabin, seeming grateful for his comments. "Aye, ironically enough, it was quite successful. I both killed the demon, and rid myself of any manipulation and bonds that I would have been placed under should she have consumed me. Mind you, I could have been destroyed in the process of destroying her, but it was a risk I was willing to take, for the protection of the town. Had the demon consumed me....things would have been much, much worse. But now? The town is free of her. But, the town now sees -me- as worse that ever....ironic, isn' it? Funny how before I was deformed with these horns and tail, I was using the dark arts and found little complaint. Now that I and the town am free of the demon? They think the physical signs of the curse I bare for destorying it are far more fearsome and troubling, despite the fact I still call upon the same powers, and have not harmed a soul." Akon shakes her head. "Granted, I do have a few more demonic attributes due to the curse, but they are things I will manage and live with I suppose. Regardless." She opens the door to her cabin and guides him to a chair by the fire. "Please, sit, and make yourself comfortable. I'll get the fire going."
Aye...Thank you kindly my dear sheriff. <sits down and gets comfortable for what might be a long night> Some just don't understand what being part of the law truly means. They think that you just make rules but in all reality that is only a small part. You pledge you life to do what ever it takes to keep the town safe from who or whatever undermines your authority and the safety of the people you have sworn to protect. Yes some see only the outside appearance of the person not the actions of the person. <shakes head> They just don't know......<he leaves his ramblings at that last comment>
Morzoth walks to Akons cabin and knoks on the door "Good evning mi lady i have something of intrest to you if i may have a word." Morzoth can be seen standing in front of her door coverd in suit from his newly built furnace with 4 sets of shackels thrown over his shoulder.
Akon busies herself making the fire, starting a nice flame naturally, then goes to her cabin to pull out some furs to place over the half frozen hunter. She then hears the knock at the door and looks to it. "Of course Morzoth, please come in." She says, rising to go and get a pot.
after minutes in front of the warming fire he begins to get his vision back. "My dearest Akon. I love what you have done with the place" he turns to face her and giggles. still pretty frozen from the blast but thankful he can atleast see fully now. "Thanks for the help in defrosting my frozen self."
"Of course, Keyoda. It is the least I can do. I am not much of a healer, but I know how to do what's needed in a pinch." She says, setting a pot of water to boil over the flames, looking back to Morzoth. "You're not intruding. You are welcome in." She then blinks. "And what, by the immortals, are those for?" She smirks.
Morzoth holds up the shackles with a proud look on his face. "well these be me first completed project you know i took up blacksmithing and i figured since your sheriff you might have prisoners at some point." Morzoth olds them out to Akon hoping to get approval for his first work completed in town.
Akon rises from the fire and walks over to him, taking the chains in hand and studying their crafstmanship. She looks at each fold and bend in the links, as well as how well the shackles fit together, then gives a sound nod. "For a first project, this is very well done. Wouldn't hold an angori....but it'd hold one of those little blokes." She smirks, looking up to him.
Akon smirks and chuckles. "Why don't you come in a moment, have some tea? You're welcome to sit and relax." Akon says as she makes her way around Keyoda back to the fire. She checked the water, then goes into her quarters off of the main cabin lodge. She comes back with several stalks of dried leaves and a few small cloths, crushing the leaves and placing them in the cloth over some metal mugs. She then poors the hot water into the mugs over the leaves, and allows them to seep as she hands the hot tea out to each of them.
Akon gently takes the cup from Keyoda's hand and poors the tea back into her pot to heat it again. She then takes a seat next to the fire, staring into the flames. She sips her own tea lightly, seeming to tune out the other's conversation for a moment, gaze seeming to fall inward to her own thoughts.
Of the many things I have seen, I know this for absolute certainty. If Jastrey is to survive what is to come, it will need a warlock.
Akon looks down to her reflection in her cup, the horns protruding from her head, her image reflecting slight hues of red and orange from the flame light. She then refocuses and looks back up to the others in the room, offering them a slight, distracted smile. "I'm sure it will pass quickly Keyoda. I can't say blue is really your color..." She smirks.
it's been a couple hours since he last spoken to Akon. "I must of fell asleep hun. Sorry about that. Hope i was a burden." he looks down and notices something different. he is back to normal color. he sticks his hand over the fire briefly just to make sure he can feel again. "Sombitch that's hot." he jerks his hand back quickly. "Yep I can feel again. Well onto one more question. Akon do you still have that tea available? I am quite thirsty."
The slight jingle of heavy jail and shackle keys can be heard passing through the dark streets in the evening, drawling closer until Akon's form gradually takes shape in the shadows. Her voice calls out gently. "Sir Hunter, I heard a rather loud noise coming from this direction. Are you alright?
