Walks-A-Shadowed-Path:
Walks-A-Shadowed-Path: In the tone of reconciliation, Walks-A-Shadowed-Path will say "I wish not to speak ill of one of such power, but I fear for the health of the Cub of the chosen. I believe this chair of rock she has is making her sick in both body and spirit, and I worry about her fascination with he whose name has been removed."
Walks-A-Shadowed-Path: "Dread she-cub, I would be happy to be your representative to the Chamberlain of the Duke-Regent and determine what sort of message awaits for you, mystical or otherwise."
Walks-A-Shadowed-Path: "Fierce lady, I seek merely to determine what the disturbance is so that it does not...disturb you. I meant no disrespect, but I would be happy to deal with the small matter of the Devonorian representative, should you but wish me to do so."
Walks-A-Shadowed-Path: Walks-A-Shadowed-Path will quickly make his way towards the alarm.
Walks-A-Shadowed-Path: Walks-A-Shadowed-Path joins the delegation being sent to the Fourfold alliance, but not for the reason the First Cub hopes. Like all who walk a precarious tightrope, however, Walks-A-Shadowed-Path keeps his own council on such matters.
The Education of Walks-A-Shadowed-Path: Having already doomed his companion, Walks-A-Shadowed-Path continues in the language of resolute uncertainty "He whose name has been freed from language had, at one point, collected a group of the children of his enemies. He decided to perform a ritual. This ritual required the death of half the children to power it, and so he did what was required. The souls of the children he slew he stored in gems for further use, and then he took the souls of the children he did not slay and put them into the undead bodies of those he did. He then returned them to their homes." Walks-A-Shadowed-Path waits for the realization of what happenened next to dawn on the Chosen's first.
The Education of Walks-A-Shadowed-Path: “The One Whose Name Was Forgotten – I would know more of him, and from one of the mouths before me.” Walks-A-Shadowed-Path ruminates on First Cub's request, and her quite unveiled threat. There is the briefest moment where the expression on his face illuminates that he believes he has a plan, and he glances sidelong as his companion while holding his tongue. He sees Light of the Moon’s Reflection inhale, and takes that for him beginning to speak, so Walks-A-Shadowed-Path begins to speak as well, saying in the language of exalted victory "He whose name is forgotten was power. He.." his voice trails off, as to the horror that is apparent on his face, Light of the Moon’s Reflection was simply breathing instead of preparing to speak. Glancing around his environment, he finishes his sentence in the language of mournful sorrow "was death to his enemies and life to his allies. The last thing that those who doubted his resolve were shown was the error of their ways. Alas, such foes never survived to share their knowledge with others." and then Walks-A-Shadowed-Path is silent, waiting on First Cub's response.
The Education of Walks-A-Shadowed-Path:
The Education of Walks-A-Shadowed-Path: As the mistress of the house of the Clipped Wing of the Hummingbird makes her demands, Walks-A-Shadowed-Path pondered the situation for a moment, then...pauses, and looks at Light of the Moon’s Reflection thoughtfully.
The Education of Walks-A-Shadowed-Path: The Carrack swells and drops with the tide, even so close to the islands. Of the two men standing on the prow of the ship, the leaner and taller of the two is Walks-A-Shadowed-Path. As the other speaks, Walks-A-Shadowed-Path waits until he has finished, then says in the language of resigned determination "Our place in history is rarely ours to choose. Such is the nature of these times. We must remember that long is the memory, and even longer the will, of our mutual friend." as he finishes speaking, Walks-A-Shadowed-Path turns and looks Light of the Moon's Reflection squarely in the eye, as if to drive his point home. He then turns and begins making his way up the steps alongside his fellow.
The Education of Walks A Shadowed Path: "May the blood of your foes always freeze in their veins at the mere mention of your name. I shall make haste." Walks-A-Shadowed-Path then bowed formally and made his way up the ever escalating steps up into the mists, and to his destiny. Taking the briefest of moments to compose himself, Walks-A-Shadowed-Path would pretend to be in awe of the edifice before him.
Upon a pale horse: Walks-A-Shadowed-Path walked the grand concourse of magically enhanced ice that led from the water itself up to, presumably, the Manse of the Cub of The Chosen of Great Tunbaaq. As he climbed the steps in short, even measure, his eyes alit on the form above that watched him, which resolved itself into Pelicans Alighting on Still Waters, the Voice for the cub. Walks-A-Shadowed-Path was unsure of what was at play here, but he did not let such things show on his face. It would do his master and family ill service should he do so; instead he climbed, focusing his attention on the task at hand, made harder as the steps increased in depth as they rose, causing even the most hardy soul to be short of breath when they reached the top. Finally, Walks-A-Shadowed-Path stood even with Pelicans Alighting on Still Waters, and each man took the other's measure, while both waited for Pelicans Alighting on Still Waters to speak first, as was his right.
Walks-A-Shadowed-Path is prepared to begin. |
