The Alar Gives His Terms

As you read in my last blog post, Dante of the Alar had given Nocra three days and today he returned to give his terms. I won't give out spoilers, but it is pretty juicy role play that any mamba would be eager to sink their teeth into. Things are starting to boil and we'll have to wait and see how it all plays out.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[06:36] Nocra Neuman Sits next to Rahl and fills him in on all the juicy details of her last 3 days and the capture with Dante of Gardar so that he'd be all caught up and able to help advise her.

[06:43] Mişş Ŧσяtυηє (Destind4u Randt) cups her hands to her lisp as she screams her voice echoing off the walls ov the caves," NOCRA..a.a.a.a.a.aaHH"

[06:44] Nocra Neuman Hears an eerie echo reverberating through the tunnels and her pulse quickened. "Come...", she murmured nervously and grabbed up her weapons.

[06:45] Mişş Ŧσяtυηє (Destind4u Randt) growls as shwe walks along the caves and she looks around the corners," nocra..." she blinks and then clears her throat," oh... there is a man to see you at the front gate... Dante Son of Jaym.

[06:46] Nocra Neuman Looks to Desti and gestures to Rahl, "This is my Beta and Umthakathi of the Blood Moons.", she explained so that there would be no quarrel between them. Hearing the name of the man she spoke of her pale flesh seemed to whiten even more and she clenched her jaw, a surge of hatred pumping through her veins, "Lead me to that tuusie traitor."

[06:47] Mişş Ŧσяtυηє (Destind4u Randt) looked to the man behind Tariq's grandmother and she then looked back to Nocra as she cleared her throat a bit and then back to the person as he is spoken of and she hmm'd softly as she ," not sure what a beta is,' but yeah sure.. follow me.":

[06:47] Rahl Bellic inclinde his head to the women as he was introduced,"Sawubona" *before following

[06:51] Megatron (dante Caggles) Sees them all approaching and lets out a bit of a grin "Ohh look what happened to show up" He would turn his attention back to Dest, "You brought me a Queen how nice of you" He looks towards the man and then towards Nocra "So, What is the outcome"

[06:52] Nocra Neuman Halts her steps a wary distance away from the treacherous man who dared to stand before her. After what he had done and told her, she had every right to slay him on sight. But she forced herself to remain calm knowing that is she acted rashly that the consequences might be dire for her own people. Her eyes burned with a sense of loathing and she stared boldly at him. She waited for him to speak and glanced over to Rahl, thankful to have her second in command beside her. "Why have you come.", she demanded, waiting to hear the terms he had said he would propose in three days time.

[06:57] Megatron (dante Caggles) Grins as he hears her words "These terms are rather quiet simple you see, I told you that you could keep the knife that has slain hundreds if not more of your kind, I am a man of my word, HOWEVER, The time has come where we must talk about why you was chosen as the person for this task." he then looks the man over to the side of Nocra "She is in no harm and we have business too attend too."

[07:01] Rahl Bellic watch the tuusie evenly, the dark hollows of his bone mask hiding his eyes from view, Nocra had told him of her talks with this man and that this man may have been responsible for the destruction of many other tribes, his spirit would be a powerful addition to the tribe to be certain, "Oh but ya business be quite interesting ta me... see I be dey Umthakathi.. dey one dat puts ous people on dey path.. no matter what tribe, I am father to all.... some o dem tribes ya butchered were those that I had known... dey spirits weep and nash teeth wit yous presences and I would learn more of ous peoples great enemy" *keeping his arms crossed over his scared and tattooed chest

[07:02] Nocra Neuman "Rahl stays.", she said flatly, her words hinting to the fact that she would not negotiate on them. Crouching down she pulled the blade he had presented her in their last meeting out of her boot and clenched her jaw tightly. "What task? Chosen for what? For you to needlessly slaughter my people then boast about it?", she hissed venomously. Her fingers clenched tighter around the dagger so that her knuckles were as white as a ghost. It took every ounce of strength she had to hold back the urge to leap upon him and carve the heart out of his chest. "What do you want tuusie, speak your mouth words or be gones.", she added with a warning growl.

[07:07] Megatron (dante Caggles) Would let out a bit of a laugh as he heard both of their words "The Mambas i have slain in the past are gone, They are with whatever god your kind believes in, You asked me last we met why i did such a horrendous thing, and why i have been seeking you out for years at a time, Rather simple, one of your kind has corrupted my blood line and now there in Alarian mamba mix, This had to be dealt with i can not and will not allow my blood line to be tainted, You being the self proclaimed Queen of the Mambas would of been able to stop this HAD you not been hiding, Your people had been invading the lands of Alar for too long, Had they just kept it at that all would be fin, BUT when one of your men took the Doombringer Kid and raped her and impregnated her actions had to be taken, The man is still on the lose, you are now responsible for hiding the man who did this,YOU TWO must seek out those who was with the Haud Deus Mambas and find the thing that raped the Doombringers daughter and either kill him yourself or bring him to me"

[07:12] Rahl Bellic listened then at the last part of what he said he could not help but laugh,"Dey Haud Deus?? Ya slaughter all dem mambas ous odder tribes because o dey dark ones? Ones dat eat women, dat eat dey weak? Who even try to eat mees cus dey heads was so lost they not even know what dey spirits scream at their deaf ears?" *he shook his head,"Ya tuusies be all dey same, ya see only wat ya wish ta see and not know anything of dey world outside yas walls... they people of dey Haud Deus be apart from odder tribes... ya quarrel be wit a fallen tribe and you kill and murder innocents so much dey blood not come clean from yous body... ya be a fool" *craning his head to the side

[07:15] Nocra Neuman She paced slowly while he spoke, her body shifting like a predatory and feral beast that looked about to pounce upon its prey. Yet she held back and listened as calmly as she could manage. His words surprised her when he explained the situation that had happened, though she did not know of the Doombringer's daughter that he spoke of... she did recognize the name of the Haud Deus. Turning her head to the side she spit in disgust and laughed in a haughty tone, "Them not be mambas. Them be urts... with bitey teeth who think they can get away without paying tribute to Nocra. I know of the Haud Deus but they do not follow the true ways of the mamba people." Turning her head to the side she listened to Rahl's words and grinned, "As my Uhmthakathi says, we says good riddance to the Haud Deus. Do as you wish to dems, we no cares."

[07:21] Megatron (dante Caggles) Burst into laughter at what the man said "Perhaps you mis understand what i am saying, The world knows the Haud Deus is dead or spread amongst the lands of others, Odin himself knows i have killed at least half a dozen of them smelly bastards, What i am saying is this so listen carefully Mambas, There is two other tribes of Mambas about in these lands that are not i repeat ARE NOT Haud Deus and they are always running in fear when me and my people show up, So the best way to have them dealt with is send some of their own kind to deal with them" He turns his attention back towards the man "And you speak of Walls i hide behind?, NAY i hide behidn no walls my open lands is where i fight and where i bleed, i need no walls to protect my lands" He then leans to the side and looks at the walls behind the man and grins a bit. He would step a bit closer to Nocra and the man. There is a big reward in it for the person who brings me the head of the man or even gives me knowledge of where the mamba who raped the Doombringers Daughter is hiding. You two up for the task or do more as you call them Innocent Mambas need to die till i find the man responsible?"

[07:25] Nocra Neuman Crouching down she scooped up a handful of earth and held it out towards Dante, "You sees this tuusie? This ground be soaked with bloods. Do not think me or mine people weak. You will stop your threats upon my people or it will be your people who pay the consequences." Blowing the dirt from her fingers she wiped her hand on her thigh then raised her chin in a regal and proud manner, "Now if you wants this mamba you claim sowed his belly fruits in this daughter... what is in it for me? If you can offer me something more dens a threat, then mabees I'll be interested in finding him."

[07:31] Rahl Bellic listened to Nocra as she spoke, nodding in the gesture she had made,"Dis is true... by all account ya owe us far greater blood debt den dis one dark kin has done to you, ya have yas honor slighted.. and so reap any in ya path... in such way you is no betta den dey Deus... yes?" *folding his arms over his chest once more,"We will need payment for the blood debt you owe us.. more than the word of a tuusie who feel he is not accountable to any... what stops you from hunting more of my childrens should we give you dis one? Your blood stained word? Such is worthless now"

[07:38] Nocra Neuman She began to pace again and tapped her chin while she thought about what to do. It was a difficult situation. The man Dante sought she did not personally know but still he was a mamba and already so many of her people had been slaughtered by Dante that to send another to his death was just one step closer to the extinction of her own people. "Who are dese two tribes you spokes of and where are they found. Also what does this mamba look like? Does he habs a name? When did he does what you says he did to this daughter?", she asked spouting off one question after the next to try to learn as much information as she could before making a decision on the mater. Hearing Rahls words she nodded in agreement and added, "My Umthakathi speaks truth... he cans sees the spirits of all you havs wronged and slain and if we are not appeased, you will forevers be cursed and haunted by the mamba people for all the innocent body reds you have spilled."

[07:43] Megatron (dante Caggles) Laughs as hears her words "Your land has seen blood shed, mine has seen blood shed, hell every land has seen blood shed,But if you think for one moment i will back down to you or your mambas you have another thing coming, I can make hell reign down upon this place day in and day out, I can make this place turn against their own kind and trust me when blood starts to spill and it puts family against family you will see what happens when i do not get my way, You actually think i owe you anything?, IF ANYTHING i would call it even i have slaughtered my own kids cause they stood up for the mambas, i slaughtered the Doombringers Daughter for corrupting our blood line, and should i find her child EVER i will remove his head from his shoulders, You say my word is worthless yet has your bloodline been corrupted by such foul beast outside of it do you not wish to keep YOUR bloodline pure as the way it was when you was brought into these lands, If anything your blood stained word is worthless to me and my people, His attention turns back towards Nocra and grins a moment "The Mambas you seek are called Makucha and Sa Fora Ost, i do not have maps to these lands as if i did they would be they would all have met their end by now, YOU SPEAK as if i owe you some kind of debt for slaying your people, NAY it is your people who owe my people a debt your kind corrupted our blood lines and before any more blood is shed i will give you two personally two weeks to come up with the man who is responsible for this. He walks a bit closer to Nocra as he leans down in her face and puts his lips almost on hers as he whispers "Your Move Queen of Mambas" He then steps back a moment and looks them both over.

[07:52] Rahl Bellic shook his head, listening to his ravings,"We do not see any corruption in bloodlines... we accept even those not born from mamba to follow in our steps.. after ritual has been preformed, we only care for the strong, for those dat can be showin strength in spirit ta match ous heritage such strength not be solely ones blood..." *craning his head to the side as he listened to his bloody tale, and perhaps as if he was listening to something else as the wind picked up,"Your soul be weak, be rotted, to kill so many ous your own kin... for what? Purity ous ya blood? A word out ous place from yer childrens? How does such strengthen ya family? When all are dead and you stand alone will yous bees dey stronger for it?" *shaking his head slowly,"You shall see dey falseness ous your ways.. at dey end... I say you give us a Tuusie bargain, one dat only satisfies you... I would allow you to never find dis child, or dis one dat cause you to kill your family, for it seems he has not even needed to raise a blade wit his own hand to cut you so deeply" *glancing to Nocra,"Though it is Nocra's choice in this... I give her my blessing and the blessing o dey spirits for what ever she decides in dis..."

[07:56] Nocra Neuman When he leaned forward and his foul breath stench washed over her lips, she was tempted to thrust the dagger clutched in hand up through his jugular. But before she had time to act, he wisely withdrew. Keen hawk like orbs fixated intently upon him and she growled low, "You would kill your own bloods because you hate mine so much?", she asked in disgust. "What is the name of the man you says did this? And what is the name of her belly fruit who still lives?", she added still awaiting a few details from him that he had neglected to explain, "What does they look like? How can I finds a faceless and nameless mamba?" With a huff she shook her head and walked closer to Rahl, consulting with her second in command for his opinion. The weight of the situation weighed heavily on her mind, she did not wish to go to war... not yet, not when her tribes were so scattered and their numbers at an all time low. A strong ruler was a wise ruler and knew when not to provoke a situation. But at the same token she could not ignore what he had done. How much innocent blood he had spilled. He would need to face his actions and be punished for them. Slowly she began to form a plot, one that might trick him into believing he was getting what he wanted while ultimately fulfilling her own agenda. Forcing a smile to her lips she spoke in a calmer voice, "Yes... a bargain. You says there is a reward if we brings him to you, what is this reward you offers?"

[08:02] Megatron (dante Caggles) Dante would pull a small bag of gems from his belt as he tosses them towards Rahl "Those Gems are what was given to us by the High Jarl of Torvaldsland when he asked me and my people to help protect them from the warriors of Sais "He would look towards them both "Had i known what the mambas name is or even what he looks like i would not be here now would i, NO if i had the information that i needed that blade you hold in your hand would be used one last time to kill the vile beast. Those Gems are only part of the Reward you find me this man and bring him to me i will award you and your lands here with two of my finest bosk and a cache full of weapons and armor" He shrugs his shoulders "As i said the choice is upto you, With in two weeks i expect results"

[08:06] Rahl Bellic glanced down to the gems as he opened the bag, remaining silent as he made his offer of lands and weapons, livestock as well, all quite useful things for such beleaguered tribe, he heard his mention of two weeks before, chuckling,"Wit dat blood stained knife der, ya could have killed dey one ya sought and never know iffen he kept his tongue, ya kill ya daughter who was taken by dis mamba... so you have not even her eyes to tell you iffen it be him... " *passing the bag of gems to Nocra,"So any one dat we bring ta ya, who may be dey one, will satisfy yes?"

[08:11] Nocra Neuman She reached over to Rahl and took the pouch of gems from his hand and poured a few into her palm to examine them. One of the sapphires had been carved into the shape of a beast it seemed and she put it in her mouth trying to determine if they were fake and made of glass. Spitting it back into her palm she tied the pouch to her belt and sighed. Pretending as if she gave in to his demands. "Very well tuusie... we will seek this mamba out for you and return to meet you within two hands time for the remaining payment.", she spoke in a serious tone keeping her features stoic and nodded to him to affirm that they had an agreement. "My Umthakathi must prepare us for this tasks... we will need time to prepare ourselves and converse with the spirits. When I find the one you seek I will send you word." Hearing Rose chime in she looked over her shoulder and held a finger to her lips gesturing for her to be silent. She didn't want Dante knowing that the woman behind her was her blood.. the less he knew about her and her family, the better.

[08:14] Megatron (dante Caggles) Looks at the man and his words rang true, Dante was more of a doer then a thinker, Perhaps he was right How would he be able to tell the difference and then just like that an idea popped into his head "You claim the Haud Deus was not a part of your tribes they are dark ones, I have seen enough mambas in my day lord knows i slaughtered enough of them, I am sure i could tell if he was the one, Hell to me even if you bring me just one more Mamba be it him or not and we call this whole thing good, But i know you two would not just sacrifice any Mamba to be brought to their death " He then looks at Nocra and grins once more "Good, I shall await the final prize at the end, Should you come to me with this person then i will tell you where i have stored the bodies and give you the reward you so deserve, BUT should you fail to give me what i seek with in the time allowed" He looks at Danielle and smirks "All hell will Reign down upon these lands and you will know the true powers of the Alar "

[08:20] Black Rose Gurbux (DaniellePoole1 Resident) she would see the gesture to be silent she would smile and giggle as she did as she was wont but continued to snuggle in to her she seemed very playful and soft. she then caught the eyes of one of the men and she looked back at him with her one light blue eye. IF they had noticed her giggling had toned down and her soft exprestions had gone cold and blank as she looks at him if only he knew what rose is and can do. Her hands and bear frozen cold skin was still touching against her nocra's bear skin she loved feeling the warmth of a humans body " need help with anything ?" she referred to nocra.

[08:20] Rahl Bellic as the man makes his final demands clear as well as his threats he glanced towards the girl that had tried to speak to Nocra,"Oh indeed dey powa oh dey tussie tribes be one dat wees know.. we will be seein in short time iffen you get dey deal you wish iffen we come to yous land or not..." *nodding slowly as he began to turn from the Alar glancing back to Nocra

[08:22] Nocra Neuman She scoffed at the Alars arrogance and grinned while reaching out in a gesture to shake his hand, "Izwe lethu...Dante, tsatsi lahao lefihlile.", she murmured in a voice that was eerily calm while speaking in her schendi words so that he would think she was forming an agreeing bond with him. Drawing her hand back she stepped away from him and gave Rose a pat to comfort her. "Come with me... you must meet Rahl. He is the Umthakathi I said I would find to see you." Glancing over her shoulder she called out to Dante, 'We will meet again soon tuusie for trades!"

[08:23] Megatron (dante Caggles) Smirks as he looks at them both and makes his way back to the wagon and out of these lands
