curseeviloctopi: A shadow slipped through one of the hedges around Sabins manor, moving stealthily on four paws towards the manor house, having one duty, and one alone, to find his master, Lanuccus
Sabin Duvert: *Mordath is in his room, a candle burning despite the conveniences of electricity available to him. A heavy black-bound spellbook on his lap, subtle shadows streaming from the pages, collecting to form words*
Sabin Duvert
: *he is deep in study, occasionally running a hand through his hair, or pausing to grab another book for reference*
curseeviloctopi
: The silver wolf pads up to the door, headbutting it, and barking
Sabin Duvert: *sabin, also awake, hears a noise at the door and rises, brows knit in confusion as he opens it, looking out, and then quickly down to see the large wolf*
Sabin Duvert
: what the...?
curseeviloctopi
: The wolf dashes by, heading for Mordaths room, headbutting the door open <Master Lanuccus!>
Sabin Duvert: *Sabin turns as the wolf runs into his house and straight for his son's room* Hey - You! Wait!
curseeviloctopi
: The wolf just keeps running. No human could stop him from seeing his master
Sabin Duvert: *Mordath looks up, finally noise reaching his ears and he pulls himself from the book, looking up towards the door as he hears the quick clicking of claws down the hardwood floors*
curseeviloctopi
: The wolf stops, and barks once
Sabin Duvert: *Mordath rises smoothly, heads to the door and opens it.. Tslanak, meanwhile, stirrs around the area of his bed, looking suspiciously towards the door*
Sabin Duvert
: *Mordath opens it, looking down*
curseeviloctopi
: The wolf bows to Mordath, speaking into his mind <I have found you at last, Master Lanaccus>
Sabin Duvert: *Mordath blinks in surprise at the communcation, and its presence, and then his eyes widen as he notices the silver sheen of the coat*.... Silver...? *he asks, startled, wondering why he would call him Lanuccus...*
curseeviloctopi
: <Silver? Who? I'm Argentflash, master> The wolf tilts his head at mordath
Sabin Duvert: *Mordath blinks, the name sounding hauntinly familiar, yet not quite placeable....yet... *
Sabin Duvert
: *Mordath stops, looking down at the wolf, mouth agape - might this be like what happened with PurrPurr... with the return of Silver's memories, might he be having "spells"? Flashes of Memory..?*
Sabin Duvert
: *Mordath steps aside, opening the door to "Argentflash" just as Sabin rounds the hallway, a befuddled look on his face*
Sabin Duvert
: It is fine, Father - I... think I know whom this is... and we have matters we must discuss...
Sabin Duvert
: *Sabin stops, runs a hand through his head awkwardly and glances at the wolf* I.... see.... well... ah... if you need anything - do not hesitate to call me....*
Sabin Duvert
: ~And Sabin wanders off, to leave them to speak*
curseeviloctopi
: The wolf pads into the room, sniffing around <Master, is something wrong? Do you not remember me?>
Sabin Duvert: *mordath hesitates, thinking his words over carefully* Of course I remember you... but... it has been... a very long time since we last met
curseeviloctopi
: The wolf tilts his head <A long time, and many lives indeed. But you remember me? Are you sure? Has the seal been broken again?>
Sabin Duvert: *Mordath winces* I... do not remember .... only pieced together through contexts.... seal? You know of it?
curseeviloctopi
: <You, you did something bad. So you sealed all your memories in your diary, and then used a spell to hide the diary from all, even yourself*
Sabin Duvert: *Mordath frowned to himself* I have.... heard of my actions... *he shakes his head* But I do not -care- what pain there might be - I know of what i did now - and I want to remember my past, despite the... emotions...
curseeviloctopi
: Argent curls up at Mordath's feet, making a shrugging motion <I know not how you did it master. I just know that you did. And that you hid it from me as well. I'm sorry i can not be more help>
Sabin Duvert: *Mordath winces* I even took the precautions from hiding it from you as well...? Damn my thoroughness... but... what you say is true - I was the one who loced it myself??
Sabin Duvert
: *he seems to only now catch it*
Sabin Duvert
: But.... why?! It was a lifetime ago - I do not care if I remember the emotions with them - I just want to remember! I found out the events, so how much worse can it be?
curseeviloctopi
: Argent nods <It was you that did so. The emotions where to strong>
curseeviloctopi: Argent tilts his head <You might want to beware anyone that looks like the one called "Silver" though. I'm not the only one that escaped>
Sabin Duvert: *mordath makes a skeptical face at the "too strong" comment* *his eyebrows raise*
Sabin Duvert
: What... do you mean escaped?
Sabin Duvert
: I thought you WERE Silver?
curseeviloctopi
: <I am not silver. I am that which he once was. Other once wases have escaped as well, and not all are kind and good. Just beware.>
Sabin Duvert: *Mordath regards Argent seriously* HIs other... past lives?
Sabin Duvert
: they are all about at the same time? But... how were they all given form separately? Or... do you have a strange case of dissociative identity disorder?
curseeviloctopi
: Argent nods slightly <One of them, one we tried to keep locked away, broke free, and broke the wall between his present and his past, driving him mad. He drove him to drink a potion that would drive us all out>
Sabin Duvert: ....oh.... my...
Sabin Duvert
: To keep it from overtaking him, he let it free ?
curseeviloctopi
: <All so he could escape.> Argent shudders <The one known as the Shadow wolf is just plain evil. We, we almost killed silver in the leaving.>
curseeviloctopi: <He did not know what it would do. He was tricked. I eventually will have to go back to what i now am, but for now, I stay with you.>
Sabin Duvert: Shadow Wolf...? *Mordath glances over to Tslanak, who looks quite disgruntled at the appearance of another "familiar"*
Sabin Duvert
: So eventually you all will rejoin? *Tslanak's ears perk, glad that this "imposter familiar" is not here to stay, his tail lifting a bit in confidence and dominance*
curseeviloctopi
: Argent nods <Though i think that we all will have to trap the Shadow Wolf to make it complete. He, he is an assassin of the highest caliber. Beware, he may come against you in an effort to stop you from helping silver.>
Sabin Duvert: *frowns, and nods* If he comes for me, he might be surprised to find some of the wards I have in place
Sabin Duvert
: Thank you, Argent, however - the information you have given me, while narrow -points me in the right direction
Sabin Duvert
: I do not need to seek out another to unlock the memories... I... did it myself.... which unfortunately makes things more difficult :-(
curseeviloctopi: Argent shrugs <I would not trust too much in the wards. He knows many tricks. Be on guard at all times.> Argent nods again <I am sorry master. I wish I was of more help>
curseeviloctopi: Saying this he curls up next to mordath's bed, dozing off
Sabin Duvert: hmmm.... *he nods* I understand... but... you will be with me as long as he is around, yes?
Sabin Duvert
: ....
Sabin Duvert
: *he strokes a hand through the familiar silver fur with a smile, feeling another twinge of recognition, a flash again in his mind of the vision - the running through the woods, flashes of fur, smell of fear....*
Sabin Duvert
: *Tslanak's hackles rise and he hops off the bed, coming close to his side* Remember, Master - I am your familiar now. You have no need for him. I am your ears, your eyes, your nose - I do not rest and I shall guard you from this..
Sabin Duvert
: this 'assassin".
Sabin Duvert
: *Mordath smiles* Do not fear for your position, Tslanak... I have not forgotten you nor are you being replaced - you heard him.... Silver apparently has his hands ful with problems if this is any indication... *he ruffles
Sabin Duvert
: the shadows on Tslanak's head as well*
curseeviloctopi
: Argent cracks one eye, and chuckles
Sabin Duvert: *and sits back to think, eyes resting on the two guardians nearby*
