[DL-W] Kibbles and Bits
June Dobson
[A few days after the hatching]
Kalyth watched Aurum take flight for the first time. Between the blue
sky, and the trees, Aurum looked more like a giant goldfish than ever.
Korl looked a bit better. She wondered when Hugh was coming back,
feeding two dragons was exhausting: those buckets were HEAVY.
Aurum and Korl suddenly settled in front of her.
*Kalyth?* her dragon called to her.
*Yes?*
*Korl wants to say thank you. He's worried about his rider, and is going
to make sure that he is fine.*
With that, the grey dragon, "bowed" and flew away.
*Do you think he'll be all right?* her dragon asked a bit wistfully.
*I don't know, 'Fish, I really don't. He's made up his mind, and he
needs to pursue his destiny as he makes it.*
Kalyth looked down, her dragon seemed to be fascinated by something.
Following her gaze, she noticed Aurum staring at Fayloth with rapt
concentration. She had a bad feeling about that look.
"Kalyth?" an unfamiliar person walked up to her, "Trinale would like to
see you in her office."
As Kalyth made her way up there, she wondered what Trinale wanted. She
knocked at the door.
"Come in," a voice called.
"You wanted to see me, Warrenlady?"
"Call me Trinale. Please sit down," Trinale gestured towards a chair.
As Kalyth took a seat, she continued, "I wanted to talk to you about your
parents."
Kalyth nodded, waiting politely for her to continue. Trinale frowned at her
silence.
"Jael and Ophar just flew off to your parents house. I've been told that
your parents wants Ophar's blood, literally, and that Jael was tempted to
give it to them. Saul mentioned something about Jael being drugged."
"My parents ARE alchemists."
"How long is the damned thing going to last? Is there an antidote?"
"The drug's duration varies. What they used on Jael was something
different. I don't know how long it lasts. I don't know if there is an
antidote...."
Trinale's door flew open, revealing a Jael storming directly towards Kalyth.
"YOU....you....."he ground out, nearly incoherent with rage. "Do you
know what they wanted me to do? Your mother is a HAG! They wanted
Ophar's BLOOD!! I nearly gave it to them. How COULD you do this to me?"
He reached down and started shaking Kalyth as he spoke. Kalyth sighed, and
with a flick of her wrist, drew a dagger and placed it against his neck.
Jael ground to a halt.
"Jael? What happened?" Trinale interrupted the stalemate.
As Jael's attention was diverted away from Kalyth, she sheathed her dagger.
"I went to visit Kalyth's mother," he stammered, and blushed. Kalyth
smiled cynically.
"And?" Trinale prompted him.
"Ophar wouldn't get close to the place. I had to walk there. When I
got there, this...old woman answered the door, and told me SHE was Kalyth's
mother. I don't know, I just realized the whole thing was a LIE, and
SHE'S responsible," he gestured towards Kalyth, who sat there impassively.
"I see. Jael, why don't you take a walk and calm down a bit.
I'll want to talk to you later. Kalyth..."
[NRPG: Kat, I don't know how Trinale's going to react towards Kalyth's
actions. Feel free to do whatever]
[scene outside the dining hall]
Kalyth looked up, noting that Thorin took leave of Merissa and was
rushing towards her. She noted the faint blush on his face, and felt
amused. She started walking in a different direction to give them a
moment of privacy. She just hoped that whatever they decided to do
wouldn't hurt anyone TOO badly.
Thorin looked briefly over his shoulder back at the queenrider. He looked at
the jar of oil. He was indeed proud that she liked it. He'd worked quite
hard to keep all the properties the same while still giving it a much more
pleasant scent.
He walked up behind Kalyth, and cleared his thought gently, "Um .. Kalyth
.." he said. She turned to look at him, "How's this?" he said
unceremoniously, holding the jar out to the woman.
Kalyth opened the jar of oil and blanched. It smelled exactly like the
mixture of herbs and fragrances her father used to drug her mother. She
looked up at him, her face still ashen. He wouldn't....
Her hands were shaking as she closed the jar.
"It..its v..v..very n..ni..nice. ThankyouThorinI'msorryfortroublingyou,"
and with that comment, Kalyth fled.
[NRPG: Sorry, Kris, but I couldn't resist....how does Thorin react to
someone being afraid of HIM?
[The day of the council, mess hall]
Kalyth looked up from her lunch to see a giant walk into the room.
Kalyth was impressed; she didn't see very many people who were taller
than her. She noted the crowd that instantly seemed to flock about him,
and smiled. She calmly went back to her meal.
[NRPG: sorry for all the short bits, I just wanted to get caught up with
the present.]
