The Stars...

So, this is the place. I expected something else. Something ... more well kept.

No matter. This is where the stars have led me. For better or for worse.

Also, I feel... Ah, that was here not too long ago. Perhaps it will come back.

The stars?

[ladyofstars]

You scoff vampire? Have you not had your name on the Tablet of Promise?

Have you not seen the power of Night?

[novilunium]

[ Her expression changes from mildly disinterested to amused in an instant. ]

Oh. So you aren't one of those mystics around the place spouting nonsense about the skies. My, you would be surprised how much you resemble one.

[ladyofstars]

You are not the first to make such remarks. I do not care.

I was speaking of the Star Dragon Sword, or are you not Sierra Mikain?

[novilunium]

A wardrobe update never hurts.

You're correct. What purpose do you seek that arrogant thing for?

[ladyofstars]

It suits me fine.

My destiny is tied to the Night Rune and the Runes it most interacts with.

[novilunium]

[ Pause. ]

What rune do you bear, exactly?

[ladyofstars]

The Star Rune.

[novilunium]

That makes sense, I suppose.

You appear to be barking up the wrong tree, in any case.

[ladyofstars]

So I've been told. The Star Dragon Sword has moved on from here. However, there are other reasons for me to stay. The five Runes that were recently in conflict for instance.

[novilunium]

Such a knowledgeable creature you are.

Those Runes certainly do not have anything to do with the Night Rune. Unless you are a watcher of conflict, a keeper of balance, so to speak.

[ladyofstars]

They do not, however as they almost brought ruin to the continent... And there is the others here. [pointed look]

[novilunium]

Mm. Almost makes you uneasy, doesn't it?

[ladyofstars]

I won't lie. It does.

[novilunium]

...

What do you think happens when so many True Runes decide to play with each other?

[ladyofstars]

I do not wish to find out.

You accused me of being a "keeper of balance" while I would not describe myself in such grandiose terms, unlike that seer, I merely wish to avoid unneeded chaos.

[novilunium]

Respectable.

[ladyofstars]

And what do you think will happen?

[novilunium]

Some sort of imbalance. That would be expected, no?

[ladyofstars]

Indeed, but let's pray that's all it is. A simple imbalance.
