The House of Chance

"I have been bound by them for my entire existence. How I long to be free of the shackles. But the Pact of seven oaths may not be broken with out catstrophic consiquences. AS for Ingram, no he is but a human, but he is a whily one. Other lost, are Lady eillonei, Vaun, a putrid creature called ren. He is untrustworthy and I sugest never showing him your back. And my asisytant. She too is a Valkyn'vi, but she is very shy. I hope to convice any and all of them Join the Evening Star, and by default the House of Chance."

"from what i have seen that is a rather large number, although while you can count on me do not just expect me to do what you want. you will have to tell me what to do when things need to be done. and the only reason im doing this is to learn about this town and...people, or else i would sit alone....and what oath have you taken that distressis you so?'

"If something is to be done, you will be asked, not told. We are not you keepers. I seek to protect the Valkyn'vi, not enslave them. As far as my pact, Long ago I made a pact, and it was one of many parts. I accepted this. I still do. But sometimes I must go against my better nature. For example, I can not harm on of the lost who have not harmed me or mine. Ren Lightfoot is a monster, but I can not strike him down until he harms. Worse, I must protect him. His betrayal is as inevitable as the summer and winter, but I can do nothing."

'Interesting, your pain might be worse than that i have inflicted onto others, who is this ren person?"

"I have known him for many years. long ago he betrayed me out of jealousy and spite. He murdered that which I held dear. For this I can not forgive him. He is a silvertongued devil. You will know he is lying because his mouth is moving."

"Cowards, if your going to kill someone have the will to do it, to lie, steal, and cheat, its cowards work. I may have murdered people but they all had a chance!"

"Coward is what Ren is. When confronted he will choose to flee. Then he manipulates someone who does not know him yet. I swear that I will make sure he gets his justice. " Abaddon says. His eyes pained with the thoughts of the past.

I hope for your success, but if he is as you say...why havnt others killed him, and i guess they might not mind me after all.

"He is perhaps the best liar I have ever seen. And he runs away. Someone will catch on to him. As far as putting up with you, I believe lies are sometimes seen in a better light than the hard truth. People tend to resent the unvarnished truth."

"Living with these people is going to be dificult, i dont see why people bother, It was much simpler on my own." He stops tapping his fingers. "I hope you understand that you are the first person ive talked to in some time, also you dont shun me for my doings, this is why i will trust you...for now. Although i feel that while i share the apearence of our race, and knowledge of it, Im less than Valkyn'vi."

"There is strength in numbers. This area is not safe. As far as being less than Valkyn'vi, I don;t think that matters. The Valkyn'vi are nomands wandering through the world trying to find a place, I don't think you should be excluded. I'm sure everyone one of us has done things they should not have in order to survive. It is the way of things.

Feel free to stay here as long as you like. There is food and wine."

"I did things to learn not to survive, but i will accept your offer, for now i just wish to think." Raviel re-tightens the cloth masking his face and sits down in a corner, He looks at his hands, the fog seems to move off them and slither around him as if it had a mind of its own. he sits quietly toying with it.

*One evening Darkclaw enters the House of Chance wearing no armor, or weapons. He grabs a drink and just watchs the games and the people. He keeps his peace and eventual looks for Inghram and Abaddon*

I came to say I will act civil to you and the people of the Keep. We do not like each other Inghram, but for the sake of the people, I will but my personal issue's aside and work with the House of Chance. But, you do not have to take my word for it, my actions will speak for them selves.

I have been wondering for some time now on a couple things. Do you mind if I ask you a couple questions?

Abaddon · Post by **Abaddon** » Tue May 20, 2008 10:03 am

"I adore questions. What can the House do for you?"

*Darkclaw smiles*

Thank you, I have heard much about the bell you have here at the Keep. Is it true the bell is the lengendary Dwarven bell that can awaken and put the dragons to sleep? How did you come across it? And from the sounds of it, it has been rung a couple times already? Do you know what happened to the dragons? From what I have heard, it is a wild tale. And does the dwarves in Caldonia know of the existance of the bell? I'm surprised the dwarves have not asked for the bell since there are many stories of dwarves questing for the bell to awaken their ancestors. I do love a good story and it sounds like storyof the bell ending up here is a good one.
