Domarus

Players receive 1 sp and 200 col each. Domarus receives Essence of Steel

Keres sighed, rolling her eyes. "Whatever. Regardless of what happens you seem so insistent on treating him like he's the villain of Aincrad, of the entire world. What does that make you, the heroine?.. Domarus is going to be here soon and I don't think you'll want him seeing you as of right now. Here. Take another bottle. Treats on me. Helps me forget that I can't feel pain.. I wonder what it will help you with...." She took another drink after saying this, and Porvós slithered off of Keres and over to Hestia. --------------------------------------------------------------

Keres nodded at Hestia's words and swirled her bottle around a bit. "Only change that happened to Domarus was his resolve. This world has only made him more determined to complete his mission. As usual, I'm there for him.. Every step of the way.." She took another drink as Hestia continued, stating that she could indeed believe her when it came to the children. "Well that's a start. At least you're open to seeing him in a different light. You may encounter him when he's more... Open one day, if you're careful enough. Just keep your eyes open, and try not to be so biased a

"I'm afraid I can't disclose that information until I'm certain I can trust you Hesti. Don't get me wrong, you're cute and sweet, but when it comes to Domarus you lose it. And seeing as how Domarus is the one thing in my life that I care about, I can't share anything with you unless you prove you can have self control and not do anything against him." When she mentions how she was now drinking age Keres just chuckles and takes another drink. When Hestia spoke she was silent for a moment and took another drink. "Would you believe me if I told you yes? For children that is. He doesn

"Oh Hestie~ of course I'm doing this to get you emotional. I'd go insane if I didn't have a pastime to help me forget the lack of any. Pain.. In this. World... But it's also true. I'm the only eye witness of course, though your sister seems to see it too. I doubt you'd believe me because I'm his friend, and I doubt you'd believe your sister because he's, as you put it: 'manipulating and deceiving her'." When she stated that she'd rather not go somewhere else, Keres giggled and tossed Hestia a whiskey. "In that case drink up. Irish made. Alcohol doesn't exist in this world so

Keres began laughing at Hestia's outburst, and laughed harder every time she mentioned how she wasn't like him, or how she hated him. She laughed for a while, even a little after she finished. Keres wiped some tears off her face before speaking. "You keep trying to convince me otherwise, but every time you open your mouth you remind me more and more of him. You have to remember that I know a lot more about him than you do. That, and you have such a biased opinion against him that you can't see two feet in front of you when his name is mentioned. You don't even realize just how hypo

She listened to Hestia talk and shook her head. "If you refuse to forgive him because of that, then you really are like Domarus, whether you admit it or not. You two are very much alike in just about every way save for your opinions on manipulation and deception. And is that so? They weren't supposed to ditch their stealth to talk with you. He must have felt it was important. We didn't save them from those killers just because after all. He has a job to do." Keres let Hestia finish talking before replying. She giggled at when Hestia mentioned a psychological problem. "Guil

Keres giggled and bowed slightly with a smile. "I agree it wasn't the best of first impressions, but perhaps we could move forward from that point? It doesn't bode well to dwell in the past after all," Keres said with a wink. She said first impression because it was the first time Hestia had seen Domarus in his true nature and not his facade. "That and people do nasty things when they are stressed, scared or angry. Domarus was all of the above that day so you can't blame him for, ah, snapping." When Hestia mentioned someone else coming to her about her attitude towards situa

Keres heard the door open up and turned to see Hestia walk in. Porvós was curled around her neck but upon entry the serpent quickly shot off, surprising even Keres with his speed, and curled up her leg and wrapped around her torso neck and arms as usual. Keres giggled when he did and stroked his head. "Aww, I missed you too Porvós. I'll get you some food in a second, don't you worry~" She then turned to Hestia who clearly despised her and this place. "Hey there Ember. Might I ask why you're here? Not that it isn't a pleasure to see you. It's fun seeing you get emotional, a

Domarus looked at Raven who was torn between family and friend/mentor. Who could do nothing to help Domarus in this scenario and could not allow him to kill her sister. Everything had gone wrong. He should have just killed the both of them while he had the chance. But then, it would be entirely difficult to handle if he had rushed it. He should have known better than to keep notes in this world. He growled as he drew his massive ax and swung it in a wild wide arc. "DAMN IT ALL TO HELL!!!!" His strike had cleaved several trees off their base and severely damaged three, causing the

The figure was watching but would make no move or response. Porvós however would slither up Hestia's leg and wrap around her shoulders like a scarf. His fiery body would seep it's warmth into her if she was a bit chilly, and it kind of hugged her as a thank you for returning to Keres. The figure would be following her without being detected of course, though if Hestia and Keres knew he was there, and they both knew Hestia knew. Then they may tell him to just stop hiding and walk with them. Then again he hoped they didn't, as he wanted Hestia to be focused on Keres. Who was in Domarus

The boy sighed as she showed how passionately she hated him for what he did. "You're missing what I'm saying. I know you hate what he 'does'. From what I'm hearing though I don't think you've realized it yet... Listen, Hestia. And don't diss or dismiss my words because I work for him. This is me talking, not some puppet. Put off the whole plan against him and his plans for a little, and hear me out. Don't throw a hissie fit again just listen. He's not going anywhere now is he? At the same time, he's not able to do much in this world. His plans and end goals require him to avoi

The kid heard her ask him what it is he wanted to know. She didn't seem to be easing up though, especially where he sat down and she seemed to refuse to do so. It was her business though and he wasn't one to rush or force others. Then he heard her next questions and smiled. "I'll share mine after answering yours. Domarus hired us because we are possibly the best stealth players in Aincrad other than Hikoru. We make the best spies because of this so we keep him informed by tailing important individuals. In your case, we've been taking shifts watching you to ensure you don't spill a

As the boy expected, Hestia was on full defense. From what she was spouting out it seemed she believed he was here to kill, torture her or something. He held a sad smile and took his hood off. "From what I know of you Hestia, you wouldn't kill anyone. And with the threat of torture gone, that's the only real threat you can hold on me. We both know who my employer is, but you have the wrong idea if you believe me to be an assassin. My group and I? Just petty thievery and spying to survive. None of us were fighters at heart, so we can't help on the front lines. The only reason I'm

The black cloaked figure stalked through the shadows of this floor in complete and utter silence. He was part of a group of players made up of rogues: Thieves, informants, spies, etc. They weren't an official guild as that would draw far too much attention, but they pretty much were a guild unofficially. This group prided themselves on their mastery of stealth. The only one greater than them would be Hikoru, but that was only because he had the unique skill Shadowed Path. For some reason the man decided to use it to fight on the frontlines. They could never figure the guy out. If he wa
