Nora thought for a momment on what the figure said about secrecy Nora could see concern was caused from her questions and she knew that she would sound a bit crazy from her answer but she did rembere her finals questions answer and if she was secret with her friends it could allow even for Hersey to take hold in her or her comrades. Deciding to be honest and to take some recaf she answer truthfully. "Well this will sound crazy but before bed I said a prayer to the emporer and a figure appeared or came into my after I locked by door and said I could ask them any question kinda like a diviner would and I asked them several questions on where the gang could find help, find a way to help Tyesha's power grown and stabilize, where to go next telling me about the map our armorer found before coming down here and Then how to make sure how to protect thee gang from things that would cause us to falling down the wrong path." Nora said gulping down her recaf and somewhat expecting to be viewed as a bit crazy or hallucinating. "I believe the figure was either a vision or someone trying to help us as my door was unlocked after they vanished."
@Keidivh "I'm plenty friendly when I want to be." Marcus said with a smile as Tyesha nudged him and showed she wasn't going anywhere. He noticed she started to drift off into unconsciousness and was actually about to join her when she had a sudden burst of energy from Nora asking her questions and he frowned when Tyesha leaned forward thinking she was going to get up again but was relieved when she just leaned forward a bit. He adjusted himself so he could remain comfortable and listened to Tyesha's words and the news of a fallen house intrigued him. "What's this about a fallen house?" He asked with his happey demeanor turning serious for a moment as he was quite curious about the spire. @Vulpas "Uh you sure you're not drunk too?" Marcus asked legitimately confused about what the medic had just said about some figure appearing in her room and answering questions. He just assumed she really needed some sleep at this point and hallucinated do to exhaustion and what did she mean about wrong path they were already criminals each and every one of them. So what worse paths could they be led down at this point? With that thought a sudden memory of a certain night flashed in his mind. First fire, burning, and pain then an explosion, rubble, and digging. He found his left hand that wasn't around Tyesha shaking and he went into a cold sweat as the memory of the thing that burned him entered his mind. He brought his hand to his forehead and sighed. 'Oh, that kind of wrong path' he thought to himself as he now stared at the table and kept breathing as the memory faded back behind the alcohol still in his system. "I guess it's not the strangest thing I've ever heard of." Marcus said to Nora as he kept on breathing rapidly and pulled Tyesha a little close as if her presence would make him feel better.
@TuskatheDaemonKilla @Vulpas Tyesha chuckled lightly at Skyruss, who was definitely flying high on the amnasec. "You're quite right about that love." She pulled down her hood and scratched at the back of her head, trying to figure out how to explain. It was an unpleasant tale. One many in the Spire have tried to forget about. But with Nora apparently receiving bloody visions from the big man on the Throne, seemed it couldn't be avoided. "Must say dear, this is... Well quite the tale. I'd ask if you'd cracked your head during the mission if it was anyone else." In all honesty, she had seen stranger things in her life. It was actually comforting in the way, imagining the Emperor watching over them, some lowly Hive scum like them. Part of her trusted Nora, and the other truly wanted to believe someone was watching out for them. Noticing Skyruss was near trembling she took his left hand into hers, holding it tightly and giving him a gentle smile, hoping to calm him from whatever old memories were haunting him. She knew what it was like to deal with that. @Casavay @bossaroo @TechCaptain @BuriasDempsey "Well my dears, s'pose everyone should gather around the witch for story time. Graves can actually help chip in on this one I'd wager..." She squeezed down on the Wanderer's hand, taking some comfort in his presence and took a shaky breath. "Years ago there was an upstart house that joined the ranks of the Great Houses, House Kelitra. They seemed to appear out of nowhere. Some records showed them as existing as far back as the founding of the Spires. Others showed them as appearing as recently as a few decades ago. They actually tried to join the New Blood. Then... Well Graves' family did what they did best. They got the dirt on the family, and it was more horrific than anyone could have imagined. They were agents of the Great Enemy, servants of horrific demons and traitors. What followed was a bloody shadow war, the Great Houses fighting tooth and nail to kill the traitors. It was horrific. And then..." Tyesha bit down upon her lip as she tried to suppress her tears. They don't need to know about that. Not now... What would they think of us? "Well, that was that. But there are rumors of groups of veterans wandering through the Hive, scarred veterans who faced the horrors of House Kelita. Graves love, have anything to add on that?" She quickly wiped away a few tears as she settled back against Skyruss, trying to forget what that damned house caused...
@Keidivh Vetgar let out a guttural almost animalistic growling sound when Tyesha spoke of what House Keltira stood for. His hands clenched into white knuckled fists as his good eye teitched out of sheer rage "Madam Demetris, are you telling me their was chaos SCUM IN THE HIVE ?!" The man reigned in his fury when he started thinking of the poor bastards who went through that hell. "I feel for those poor bastards , stranded in the abyss an' only after they'd fought the great enemy . Heh the reward of honor, right ?" The old warriors cynical side began to show through again. "Fightin the great enemy an' survivin' to tell the tale is somethin' i can respect biased i may be" Vetgar poured himself another drink amd downed it quickly before more rage could bubble to the surface
@bossaroo Tyesha nearly jumped from her seat at Vetgar's rage. Course he'd be angry. Poor dear could be one of the ones wandering in forgotten parts of the hive... Tyesha stared down at table, guilt weighing her down as she thought of the souls lost down there. "You've every right to be angry my dear. The Spire has been blind to much around it for far to long. Some of my own were lost against those bastards." Her hands curled into fists, sparks jumping from them as a rather dark smile formed on her face. "But we ground those frackers to dust."
@Keidivh A grim smile drove its way up the mans face only slightly obscured by his beard and the warrior nodded. "Thats the only way to make sure those bastards are gone" the warrior relaxed into his chair "so if The Good Doctor hasnt been inhalin' too much incense an' she got a message from a Saint or The God Emperor himself an' it was said to find these folks how're plannin' on doin' that ? I mean i can spot a Vet from 3 clicks away but i aint sure i'll do much to easy to escape my sight" the man tapped the scar underneath the milky white eye and chuckled. Though he laughed and looked on as he awaited everyone's reactions to the news looking as attentive as he could , anyone paying attention could see the thousand-yard stare in his eye as the memories came flooding back
@Keidivh Marcus winced at the sudden sparks he found traveling from Tyesha's hands to him since they were so close together. "Hey watch it." He said in a pained voice. He found this whole story telling quite intresting seeing as how the Spire itself was not immune to corruption from the abominations that lurk in the warp. Though it did pain him to see Tyesha clearly having to dig up some pretty terrible memories to break her usualy cheerful demeanor. Though he also thought it was just a reminder of how she was human despite her powers and the voices in her head she was still just as human as any of them and he found comfort in that. But back to more pressing matters the idea of bands of veterans from this shadow war could prove very useful not only for the gang but maybe for his other plans. After all if they were abandoned after so much they might not exactly have the best opinions of the spire anymore. @bossaroo Marcus turned his gaze over to the veteran while not leaving his position close to Tyesha. "I could always help you look for them, in my time outside this hole I've learned what a true survivor looks like. Besides I think I'd like to take a break from combat for a while." He said referring to his earlier brush with death.
Grave shook his head. " That was more or less the core of it except not every house agreed with who was to blame and took out the rest of the new bloods for sheer power grabbing. Hince me and Tyesha being here. The old houses want us dead. "
Nora - Nora felt a bit saddened by the story tyesha told noticing it brought up bad memories from her past, but it did prove a few thins that her visions were true and that they should be on the lookout for corruption. "So they were just left down here or forgotten by there former houses after this shadow war? That sounds quite cruel to do them after they fought in what sounds like a messy war." Nora said noticing Tyesha only asked about her trainer in the beginning Nora speak, "while talking to that figure I asked them about a way to help you train and grow your powers, from what he told me there is a person out there called Therisia that lives below us and where civilization meets the outside." Nora said wondering if they were in one of the hives entry ways. Gabriel- Gabriel listened silently to this whole feasco wondering if Doc was ok and telling the truth or had a screw go loose. As the conversation went on he soon found that it was possible she was telling the truth with her question bearing a story not even he expected. A shadow war in the hive against the great enemy not even he expected that to pop up. As the conversation took a turn on where to find these warriors a grim idea poppred into Gabriel's mind. "Were any of these veterans betrayed after the war or made a oath of silence?" Gabriel asked wondering If any of the veterans were betrayed and now had a contract out on them.
@TuskatheDaemonKilla Tyesha gave a goofy smile as she lightly patted Skyruss cheek, "Oh don't be such a baby dear, you should be used to getting electrocuted by now." Considering how often a spark escaped from her palms, it wouldn't be surprising. @Vulpas @bossaroo Tyesha picked her knife back up from the table and began to file her nails with it as listened to the others ideas about talking to this so called lost brotherhood. But theybtalked about it like it would be a simple search. Chances are it would be much more difficult than that. "Well my dears, while I agree bringing such veterans back into the fold would be wondrous, it would be far more dangerous than you think." She tapped the razor sharp blade against her chin as she tried to think of a good way to explain the situation without making the Spire sound completely incompetent. But under its current leadership, it basically was. "Fact is, there are rumors that the House of the Damned wasn't as thoroughly crushed as we had first thought. There were whispers that House Kelitra still roam in the darkness. House Valtinus in their efforts to keep the scandal secret abandoned the survivors and the clean up." She gave a frustrated sigh as she fidgeted I her seat against Skyruss, even now angered at how poorly the operation was handled, and how they abandoned those who had fought. "I'm not saying we shouldn't help them. But we might not be ready to face what we could encounter there." As she finished explaining this bloody event in aspire history her focus shifted to this psychic trainer. If what she said was true, it would truly be a miracle. Unfortunately Tyesha didn't have much faith in such things anymore. But what other options did she have? "Thank you Nora my dearie, I'm touched you inquired about little old me." @TuskatheDaemonKilla Now the question was how the track would she find this trainer... She had no contacts from so far down below. Except for the dashing mutant who's arms around me! Tyesha excitedly craned her neck towards the slightly less drunk Skryuss, a pleading smile etched across her face, "Skyruss, dearie, know anyone who would know this Therisia? She could help me not summon demons, wouldn't that be wonderful!" She shouted in actual excitement and joy.
