The Rise of Light, the Fall of Darkness

[leviathan]

"I'm Lev, and I didn't think your wife had a flabby butt. Not that i was checking her out, but I'm an artist so taking a critical analysis I looked to see if you and your family would make for a nice picture. It did, as you can see in the picture. I think it's a horrible picture though I'm not very good." In actuality he was but he didn't view himself as good. He had tried to say what he said in a kind not caring attitude he wasn't good at not caring.

"Interesting." In truth he didn't care much and just took another gulp of his beer. Normally people asked him to stop drinking and he would respond with a no of course. He didn't care enough to give the woman his name. He had enough courtesy that if she asked he would give it, but never willingly.

[Tatsu]

"I see you like beer, that is good." She said smiling. "By the looks you bought a lot, having a party?" She said laughingly. She was trying to make a short conversation, enough time so she would forget about getting back to her husband.

"You are showing false emotions, please show the right ones, it is muh better, do not be who you are not... it is unwise." Tatsu said, he still examined the picture. "How much?" He said in an interesting voice.

[leviathan]

"No this is actually all for me. See I tasted it as a child and fell in love with it. I have a high tolerance for the stuff so i can ingest a lot more alcohol than most people." He still didn't really care but now that the conversation had moved onto alcohol he was paying more attention.

"Well i wouldn't say that it's a bad thing, but I don't really know why i do it. I like everyone but I pretend to hate everyone. I grew up with people telling me if you liked everyone then you were weak so i guess it just stuck." This was a lie of course. The reason he pretended to hate everyone was to protect them. If he went into one of his rages he wouldn't hurt people who knew he liked them. To what the man said at the end he frowned a little bit and asked "How much for what?"

[Tatsu]

"Ahh, that is good, as long as it does not affect you." She said smiling. She didn't really care for much anymore, she was hurt to many times to care. "Alcohol, it is good, but then for me... lets say you get a secret suprise." he satrted to laugh a littile more.

"Honestly, you are a bad lier. Speak truth to an apprentice sage. And for the Drawing of coarse, it is pure wonderful." Tatsu said ...yet again trying to smile. "I would love that kind of talent...but I cant write anymore..." He said lookin at his right arm.

[leviathan]

"Well, I'm not one for surprises. I actually hate surprises." He took another swig of alcohol and looked around him. He should really be getting back to Lev. He had the sudden horrid though of Lev somehow taking alcohol without knowing it. He shuddered from the thought, because even he who loved alcohol knew Lev didn't go with it.

"Well I don't tell people the truth about that. It's a private matter that would make people afraid of me. Well the picture. Me and my brother don't charge much just whatever we can get for the picture. I know i have no right to say this but nothing should stop you from writing, but I don't know your reasons so I can't say that. However i do mean it, nothing should stop you from doing what you want to, as long as you try then you can succeed."

[Tatsu]

"We'll I have a feeling my husband is talking to someone, so I might just stck here for awhile." She said spotting a bench. Shebalanced Remi in her hands and hugged her.

"Yes, personale things, I can not write because of this." Tatsu said bringing his mechanicle right arm out. "WE all have secrets, keep yours, make sure it is safe for eternity. Would you sell me the picture for 100 orbs?" Tatsu added at the end. The arm shone in the sun, it was shiny still, like it was brand new.

[leviathan]

Lev stared at the arm in a daze but he was more in shock than anything. He had never been offered that much for a single sketch. "I certainly would, but don't you think that is a little much?" He finally said once he found his voice.

"Yah my brother will be waiting for me. We are normally never apart. I guess it was nice meeting you." Rev made kind of a waving motion and started to walk off. He was taking his time on the beer but he was still almost three fourths of the way done, so he slowed himself down. No need to drink the beer to fast and waste it.

[Tatsu]

"Yes, it is worth that much, or would you like more?" Tatsu asked while putting his cloaks arm down covering his arm. He was now focused more on the artwork.

Nephra walked over to the bench and sat down, then she put Remi down next to her. Her 1 or 2 year old daughter, who was still unable to walk. As she went to get a bottle for Remi a metal head stinger jumped on her and dug its stinger into her leg. She yelled in pain then grabbed it, throwing it to the ground. She then remmembered she had her knives at home, leaving her deffensless.

[leviathan]

Rev spun around his staff roaring through the air. Once it hit the metal head it knocked it to the side and a spinning smash killed the thing. He had reacted on instinct, and he was confused as to why he actually did it. "Are you alright?"

Lev shook his head and smiled. "No i actually think that is to much but if that's what you want to pay then so be it."

[Tatsu]

"Good." Tatsu said taking a hundred orbs out and giving them to Lev. He never bought much anyways, but he was trying to get a family portrait, but this was very close.

"Yes!" She yelled, her first reaction was Remi. She grabbed her child and ran off of the seat. She got to Rev. "Thank you, very much." She said bowing her head as a sign of respect.
