Member Posts: 21 Group: Members Member #6 Joined: June 6, 2008	Eddie ghosted through the streets in his black robe, he had the hood up to hide his face, he'd already encountered one guard on the way down and managed to get away without causing a scene, but he couldn't go back not yet he was on his way to speak about something very important, he'd heard a rumour from one of his acolytes that a local guard had a wife who was powerful in the void she could be exactly what he was looking for. Since hearing this rumour he'd asked a few of his contacts to investigate and tonight decided to pay a visit to their house. He didn't now what to expect from these people so he had a cloth wrapped over his lower face up to the bottom of his eyes, people usually didn't react well to his appearance. He was making his way through the streets they were quiet now they would be empty when he would make his way back up to the temple, he went past one shop that was closing up the owner eyeing him suspiciously he didn't know this part of town well, but felt confident he was at his destination the street was solid here it wasn't some slurry way like the lower city but it wasn't a marbled walkway either. checking his skin was well hidden he adjusted the black cloth hiding his lower face and banged on the door and stood awaiting an answer

Little came from his reading sadly, half of the scripture was damaged beyond readability from years of miss use. With a grunt, he thrust the tome to one side, letting the stone scrap across his wooden side table. “No luck my husband?”, a red headed woman by the name of Rose whispered lightly in his ear. Her arms slipping around his crest and lightly gripping him within her embrace. She softly kiss his cheek and nipped at his ear while glancing toward the room with lazy eyes for a second. “No, sorry to say”, Lagan replied with a light tender kiss to his partner cheek. “We’ve got more to look though in the future though, so not all’s lost I guess”, Logan grunted light as he pushed himself to his feet and brushed her hands away. A heavy knock stuck the door. The room fell silent. “to the basement, quick”. For a moment to stood idle, her long red locks boarding her wonderful looks. Taking control of herself she quickly stepped toward her lover, striking him once, hard against the lips with a kiss, then retreating from sight. Thrusting the tome away, he wondered briskly toward the front door, and swept the door open. He was taken back for a moment by the sudden appearance of a black robed figure at his door. For a moment, he stood wordless, unknowing of what to do or say. Recomposing himself and taking hold of the situation, he narrowed his eyes and glanced down dark at the man with a slight look of disappointment. “Can I help you?”.

He was beginning to wonder if the man would let him in but he didn't wish to be too long on the streets in case he got caught outside of the temple

He leaned forward, meeting the fellows eyes, starring hard into those dark orbs, nothing seemed to give way. It was clear at first sight where the man had come from and his trade by the colour of his robes, but Logan didn’t wish to think about it. His and his wives actions had surely been kept under raps, someone from the temple surely wasn’t investigating. Were they? “Get in here”, Logan said as he grasped the scarred mans robes and heavily persuaded him to enter the room. Closing the door heavily behind himself and the man, he glanced out into the street from a crack in the door. No ones seems to be following. “You know you should have sent out a message before arriving on our door step. Your steer up some gossip with our neighbours you know.”, Logan informed the man as he pointed toward the living room, where chairs and drink resided for his new guest. “No might I ask why you’re here?”, Logan asked in a calm manner, his hands no clasped hard at his sides, his eyes glancing over the scarred man, weighting him up and guessing how much of a challenge the figure may be. A unsettling feeling began to churn in his gut as normal when in a stressful situation, yet he hope violence’s wouldn’t be needed. More than anything he hoped the ghastly figure would soon leave.

Your steer up some gossip with our neighbours you know.” Eddie looked round to the man but seated himself and casually poured himself a drink before answering "Yes sending a messenger would have been proper, however my comings and goings from the church aren't really official, and a messenger sent by me would be looked into and we don't want that now do we?" he looked around for a sign of his wife, eddie had heard he had a wife and there were some signs of two people being here but she wasn't in sight perhaps his information was wrong he didn't to look at that possibility just yet however “No might I ask why you’re here?” Eddie looked at the man and took a long gulp of his drink barely moving the cloth to get the cup to his lips, he wiped his lips and spoke carefully "you might, but i wouldn't be quite so worried this isn't official church business, in-fact i wouldn't say it was church business, I am here of my own accord, there are whispers about you you know? very hard to hear but if you listen well you hear them." He paused momentarily to lick his lips "They say you've a touch for the dark arts, and you have a wife who led you into it" Eddie paused to allow his words to sink "i do see your wife isn't here however most unfortunate, she'll be back soon I hope?" He slowly pulled his hood back revealing his scarred head, it was bald and the flesh was pink and ridged "As you most well know a person is forbidden to use the void but can however study it, and a void user can be seen by the visible scarring it leaves on their body" He took the cloth covering his lower face completely off showing the ridged and hardened flesh across his cheeks and throat, there was no hair on his head and his eyes seemed out of placed in the scarred face "So I am here to tell you if these whispers are true then you maybe able to help me" Eddie knew this was dangerous to openly suggest someone was a void user and reveal himself, but he knew the church would bend the law his way and if things went badly he could always become a shadow disappear a plus from using the void

His mind was quick to work. If he wasn’t aloud to send message out, it was unlikely your meant to be here yourself. Him mind worked quickly on how to take advantage of this information. "You might, but i wouldn't be quite so worried this isn't official church business, in-fact I wouldn't say it was church business, I am here of my own accord, there are whispers about you, you know? very hard to hear but if you listen well you hear them." Logan’s eyes narrowed, his body began to tense and he lightly shook in anger at what this man was say. Was he threatening them? Or was he simply informing them. He liked neither. With another barbaric grunt, he turned to the drink cabinet and drew a bottle of brandy to hand. While doing do, his hand caught hold of a hidden blade concealed inside the cupboard and slipped it benefit his sleeve as he poured himself a drink. Never can have to many knives. "They say you've a touch for the dark arts, and you have a wife who led you into it", "I do see your wife isn't here however most unfortunate, she'll be back soon I hope?", "As you most well know a person is forbidden to use the void but can however study it, and a void user can be seen by the visible scarring it leaves on their body"‘ Logan stood idle for a moment, his hand clasped tightly round his class to the point it was almost shattering in his thick figure’s. His wife now stood in the door way. Her soft looks, half covered by her sweep thick red curls. His body bound up in a black dress, which hid most of her markings, but her full chest and neck bared from fresh marks of use. “So I am here to tell you if these whispers are true then you maybe able to help me" “What of it cripple? What if we do know a thing or two about these arts?”, Rose spoke with venom in her voice. Her hands hung loose at her sides, bearing no weapon, but the energy that radiated from her gave off a threaten image.

Member Posts: 21 Group: Members Member #6 Joined: June 6, 2008	Eddie could tell the man was dangerous, he knew the full implications of what was being said 'you realise he's probably worked out if you cant send a message your not meant to be out, which means if he kills you then there wont be some great search... after all if everyone knew of you you would be allowed out' Eddie hated these thoughts that plagued him, he knew they weren't his but they were often right, he needed this mans wife to be here if only to show him his information was true, his thoughts were broke by the mans wife suddenly appearing “What of it cripple? What if we do know a thing or two about these arts?” He looked to her he could see the marks of the void, he allowed himself a smile he could feel the dark energy radiating from her she was strong, he allowed his own strength to radiate from him let them see my own strength he thought to himself "Well my dear if that were the case you obviously wouldn't be terribly fond of the political climate, which i am not either, after all being locked up in the temple with feeble old men and having to hide from some crazed prejudiced overpowered witch" 'Tell them everything, after all he will probably kill you very soon if one of them doesnt learn to trust you and she could be just what we need Eddie realised how precarious his situation had become now, he once more followed his mind sometimes he didn't know it at all he wondered if this was a side effect of the void "let me explain myself, I am Eddie advisor to the council of the temple, I advise them in areas concerning the void, they know i practice the art and they take my advice upon and allow acolytes studying it to talk to me, slowly over the past 6 years i have been allowing these acolytes to feel the power of the void subtly of course but there are a few who are drawn to it and now secretly practice it, my burns are what i inflicted upon myself to hide my use of the void. when my use was discovered i was locked away and kept hidden from the public, however i have some contacts in the city, but they need to gain easier access to me and i can only bend the law so far." He let his words linger for a moment before speaking to logan "and the acolyte that was found dead in the lower city a few days ago was the one who informed me of the rumours about you, terrible that he didn't get to report on my movements for the month... still he always was a little too curious" He licked his lips and spoke to both of them now his magical energy still radiating from him "if you are interested in what i have to say and feel you can trust me to some extent then i shall discuss my plans with you, you two could be very helpful to me" he looked from logan to his wife, he hadn't gotten a name from his contacts but he hoped he would soon enough either that or it wouldn't matter

Her actions have made thinks more…difficult”, Rosie replied with a smile as he drifted across the room to stand at her lovers arm for a moment, grasping his hand in her and lightly pressing the concealed blade to his wrist, reminding him of the weapon he bared and not to be fearful of this old fool. "Let me explain myself, I am Eddie advisor to the council of the temple, I advise them in areas concerning the void, they know i practice the art and they take my advice upon and allow acolytes studying it to talk to me, slowly over the past 6 years i have been allowing these acolytes to feel the power of the void subtly of course but there are a few who are drawn to it and now secretly practice it, my burns are what i inflicted upon myself to hide my use of the void. “When my use was discovered i was locked away and kept hidden from the public, however i have some contacts in the city, but they need to gain easier access to me and i can only bend the law so far." “Touching but uninteresting tale”, Logan grunted as he glanced away toward the thick white netting surrounding the bay window at the far end of the room. All this business was meaningless to Logan but from Rose’s body language it seemed to interest her. Jealousy swept over him for a moment, clouding the ill feeling in his gut. "And the acolyte that was found dead in the lower city a few days ago was the one who informed me of the rumours about you, terrible that he didn't get to report on my movements for the month... still he always was a little too curious", "If you are interested in what i have to say and feel you can trust me to some extent then i shall discuss my plans with you, you two could be very helpful to me" “I would advice you water down your confessions, some of us stand on the right side of the law might I tell you”, Logan uttered with a sense of a growl in his voice. “City guard, pay him no mind”, Rose countered her husbands words. “To bussiness then. Trust is something to be earned and you’ve yet to do so, but my wife Rose seems to take great interests in your plans”, “As you say Logan”, Rose replied as he took her lovers glass and drank deep herself.

"what we need is to figure out a way of recognising one and other but that is a small matter, we need someone strong in the void and based is accessible from the city, so i have been looking and you my dear have been very hard to find, now if you are willing to aid me in the building of this underground network i may be able to avert the churches eyes from you should the need arise." He paused a while letting them consider this, he took a drink "I understand this is a weighty decision and one with large consequences should you be discovered, but whatever I can offer you I shall see you get it, i notice the tome, over there" he leaned his head in the direction of the discarded book. "If you are researching something I have access to the temple libraries and slipping things in and out isn't so difficult, so what do you think of my offer?" He was wondering about the pair, the man clearly had no taste for this but he protected his wife, he would never turn a void user over to the authorities but surely he saw the advantages of this?, the woman however seemed to be interested good perhaps she could persuade him

He broke away from his lovers touch and paced across the room in frustration. He didn’t take much interest in these events and worse didn’t like how they were going. " There is a small network of people within the city, void users outlawed of course most aid by helping them move about the city or getting food to ones who are struggling but the network isn't well organised and is still small and few people know how to recognise others” "What we need is to figure out a way of recognising one and other but that is a small matter, we need someone strong in the void and based is accessible from the city, so I have been looking and you my dear have been very hard to find, now if you are willing to aid me in the building of this underground network I may be able to avert the churches eyes from you should the need arise." Seems reasonable, Logan though to himself, stopping in his tracks. This offer of protection seemed more interesting, less threatening but the decision was up to Rose, seeing as Rose didn’t really want any real part in this business. "I understand this is a weighty decision and one with large consequences should you be discovered, but whatever I can offer you I shall see you get it, i notice the tome, over there" "If you are researching something I have access to the temple libraries and slipping things in and out isn't so difficult, so what do you think of my offer?" “We accept”, Rose uttered suddenly. “But cross us …”, she warned but left it at that, she didn’t need to fully explain herself, this scarred fellow knew her worth and the power of her abilities. Logan stood silence at the edge of the room, he wasn’t happy but he would follow his wife’s lead.

Member Posts: 21 Group: Members Member #6 Joined: June 6, 2008	Eddie Smiled twisting his already repulsive face into a contorted smile that looked more menacing than anything "Very well, you have no fear of me crossing you, i can feel your strength is a match for mine, i would be a fool to risk losing such a powerful ally, i shall spread word that people can contact you and that any who dare to be stupid will be revealed for what they are to the church. I feel it may be wise to find a location or way for them to contact you unless you would like them turning up on your doorstep of course?" Eddie was thinking now of what needed to be done, should they know of the access way to the morgue? 'Yes it would be best if she was healthy 'hmm perhaps... yes and the books...' He looked at again then again at she was a beautiful women strange how the void markings hadn't affected her face perhaps if he hadn't chosen burns maybe self mutilation would have given him more freedom, oh well what's done is done. He looked at logan could he be trusted? perhaps they were both hired by the arch mage to finally reveal him, yes that was it they were both here to kill him no not kill him turn him over to the inquisition, as these thoughts raced through his head his magical energy surged from him but his paranoia was cut short by the 'other' him 'Little bit elaborate don't you think? after all he has a long history in the guard, and the arch mage is too short sighted to not destroy two void users immediately, don't be so hasty you approach that which you need most and you think it's here to destroy you! now tell them how you can help them! sometimes your no more clever than a child you know... It was right it always was still keeping a caution is always good, he broke his stare from logan and spoke to the both of them "there is a fire acolyte, not very strong in the magic goes to the city every few days on errands, you will know him by the blackness of his red cloak, it is quite distinct, he can get you whatever you wish from the library. Also should either of you be in need of energy there is a section of the medical wing of the temple, near the lowest section which is the morgue, it is quite accessible from the outside so long as you can still turn into a shadow, you can slip through a crack in the wall, its not well patrolled and thats where all the dead go. Is there anything else you can think of?" he stop leaking magical energy, he hoped he hadn't broken what little trust there was

He found is intimating and he also partly viewed it was flirtatious act oddly, seeing as Rose was a powerful mage and interested in other powerful beings. “…..I would be a fool to risk losing such a powerful ally, i shall spread word that people can contact you and that any who dare to be stupid will be revealed for what they are to the church. I feel it may be wise to find a location or way for them to contact you unless you would like them turning up on your doorstep of course?" “We’re come up with something, my husbands rather resourceful”, Rose replied with a smile as he glanced in the direction of her darling husband. He stood still, arms crossed on his chest, his hand lightly rubbing the handle of the concealed blade in his sleeve, his expression grim. “There is a fire acolyte, not very strong in the magic goes to the city every few days on errands, you will know him by the blackness of his red cloak, it is quite distinct, he can get you whatever you wish from the library.

Is there anything else you can think of?" “No that will be all for now”, Logan replied as he unfolded his arms and moved toward the front door and a waited for his to move from his seat. “thank you for coming Eddie, we hope hear from you soon our friend”, Rose added with a smile as she clasped he hands together and smiled warmly toward their guest.
