[OPEN] Awake & unafraid, asleep or dead

[Axel Shikkei]

Kal smiled. "Did you like the power? Yeah know being in control?" she asked, walking over to the couter as if doing something.

[clouddancer]

Tersias continued to stare at the ceiling blankly, as though in a trance. It wasnt the power which tripped me up. He replied, his voice hollow and empty. Tersias just couldnt get Akaila out of his head! Oh god what had he done? What had he done...

[Axel Shikkei]

"well..." She turned around, the true Kal facing him. The scarf covered her mouth and head. "that's what I am offering," she finished.

[clouddancer]

Tersias frowned at the Leeanne as she turned around to face him. if it hadnt been for the distinct lack of magic in the room whilst he had been there, and the fact that he had been able to see her all of the time, Tersias could have sworn that it was a different person. Sitting up on the bed he shot back at her in a harsh, challenging voice. Would it be enough to get me back up there? He jabbed his finger towards the sky violently. Or bring someone down here? He continued, somewhat more softly as thoughts of Akalia drifted into his mind.

[Axel Shikkei]

"Maybe," she said. Her eyes showing the expressions on her covered face. "Maybe, " she repeated. "Anything is possible," she said.

[clouddancer]

Tersias sighed, finally resigned to his hopeless position. As Leeanne murmured that "Anything was possible", the tiny spark at the end of the tunnel disappeared completely. He was a realist, not an optomist, and that one little phrase was used so much to fob people off. And what conditions would come with said power? And advantages? he asked, his mind suddenly thinking tactically, though his face wouldnt show it.

[Axel Shikkei]

"You can follow orders can you not?" she asked spinnig a small dagger in her hand. SHe had him hooked, that was it. She had done something good for her "god," the king had saved her from her prision and for that, he was a god to her, no matter what he was in real life.

[clouddancer]

Tersias sighed slightly, sounding bored, though it was only really to try and clear his head of Akalia for a moment so he could think clearly. What extra power will i have, bar that i already posess? He asked, his voice louder than hers as his bright blue eyes bored into hers.

[Axel Shikkei]

"The power over people. Fear will be a powerful weapon for you," she said, pacing at this time.

[clouddancer]

Tersias rolled his eyes slightly.
Fear IS power. And fear is easy enough to ensue amongst the weak. He knew that this couldnt be more true. Even in said "heaven" fear had been used to control the actons of individuals. Tersias had never been particularly schemeing in the past...but now, he had nothing to loose, and every reason to fight.

[Axel Shikkei]

"So, will you join the army of the king?" she asked turning to him.

[clouddancer]

Will I get anymore power than that which i already posess? he fired back swiftly, watching her calculatingly.

[Axel Shikkei]

"You will have more power then you could've ever imagined," she said. He couldn't see her face but her eyes showed she wasn't lying. She knew what a being such as him would get, and that was power more then what he had ever had before. "Well?" she asked, her voice soft and melodic, even with the hints of melencholy.

[clouddancer]

Tersias watched her carefully, his eyes narrowed. Her body language showed no sign of lie, so he decided to take her word for it...for the moment. And what...limitations...would said position include? he asked, wondering for the first time it Leeanne was really her name. What did it matter? A names a name, and it doesnt change anything. Well...that was what he used to think...but some names posessed a strange power...

[Axel Shikkei]

"None. Absolutly none," she said walking around him. Her unifrom danced slightly around her small build. It hung open, reviling her well toned body but, after years in a forced trianing camp, if you weren't in shape you were an idiot.
