Walking over, she soon saw the cause for the gathering.
"Maybe I could be of assistance?"

Promethius snorted. "Elven female or not, to me they're just "Some guy" as of now due to me not having a shred of information about them except for their gender and their species. Besides, I'm not kicking them, it was just a slight nudge in the side. No biggie. I was just checking if they would respond to external stimuli, it's not every day i get to see a elf in stasis mode due to poison. "
"I'd be willing to guess they were on their way to the guild hall, as the guards clearly let them up to this floor on the tower. Perhaps they were meant to be one of our fellow adventurers..."
"There we go, i knew you had the observation skill in you to figure out who in the name of hell they are. Problem is, i have trouble believing they're on our team. They got careless and bitten by a deadly snake and chose to rush here instead of seeking medical attention, i'm not sure i want them on our team."
And where was I? Burning in hell, of course.

Akeru fidgeted with the edge of her hem and stared silently at the mass of people going about with their chaotic ways, socializing, and making it all together extremely confusing
To her, it seemed as if time was moving especially slowly. It seemed as if a minute was an hour, an hour a day. It was extremely difficult to try keep her mind anchored to the ground, to do her best to pay attention to what was going on, to actually try to focus, to not let me mind drift off and think of unknown possibilities.

She paused, looking at Prometheus with slightly more respect. Just slightly, mind you.
"Then I think we're in agreement on that. People who storm about with not a bit of caution deserve their fate. Besides, there aren't many snakes in Solarion to begin with." Paiyoon met the gambler's eyes, and nodded slightly. "I must ask... aside from gambling, and a particular affinity for shattering window pains, what magic do you have? I'd like to be familiar with at least the basics before we all go on a deadly adventure."
A rustle behind her made Paiyoon turn. A young girl, Akeru, she thought was standing behind them.
"Hello, there," Paiyoon said. "I don't suppose you know how to make her wake up?"

"Now, we wait."
Well, that was one time her mother's over-protection came in useful.

Promethius nodded seriously. "I'd honestly rather not reveal my hand at the first turn of the table, but seeing how dire the situation is, sure. I'm not merely a gambler and a rich playboy, though that's what i'm most well known for. I'm an adventurer too, a bloody good one at that if i- no, the council most likely believes it too, seeing how they called for me. Anyways as an adventurer i've undergone multiple dangerous tasks, for example exploring the jade sea, scouting the singing sands and so on. I'm able to survive due to my enchantment magic, which allows me to, but is not limited to, cure blindness, grant minor traces of sentience, dispell illusions and grant flight. Once I got stranded in the singing sands without water, so i had to enchant a lizard i had killed to be able to provide a water supply for myself VIA its ingenious scales that collects perspiration. I made use of it and improved it with magic so i had a reliable water source." Promethius paused. "The council might've wanted me for my experience with the singing sands since i've treaded that path before. I think i understand now. But what about you? What do you bring to the table?"
And where was I? Burning in hell, of course.

But calm, peace. Now's not the time. She would worry about curing people of their ego later.
"I have acheived excellence in both academic studies and tournaments you can only dream of. But I find talking about my personal strengths quite boastful, so I suppose you'll have to find out on the quest."
She put as much bite into the words as she dared. But it just wasn't satisfactory enough.

Promethius gave athena a hard look. "It wasn't directed towards you, not everything is about you. Please kindly keep out of the grown up talk, will ya? You may have won in academical contests and studies, but i won in the genetic lottery, so you can kindly take this 2000 gold and kiss my a**." The words leaving their mouth were venomous and stinging to say the least, Promethius did not like her tone, not even the slightest bit.
And where was I? Burning in hell, of course.

Paiyoon laughed. "Don't be mean, Prometheus. She's obviously here for a reason. But then again, so is this snakebite victim..."
"I'm only here because I bring access to my talismans. I'm also an enchantress. I run a... quaint... little shop out of Shadowvale. I can forge, carve, sew, and leathercraft, so I enchant my homemade talismans. Many of them are temporary in exchange for the powers granted... you know, increased speed and strength, etcetera. A few are permanent, and I charge a nice price for them. But they likely want me to power the rest of you up as my obligation. Stingy bastards." She said, with a roll of her eyes.
"I can hold my own in a fight, too. A decent shot with throwing knives, but I'm born and raised in the Vale, so what do you expect? Of course my set have been... upgraded a little." She grinned, showing her pointy goblin teeth. "Any other questions?"
The princess had some sort of crystal. It was a similar enchant to what Paiyoon would have used herself. She nodded her head in approval. "Thank you. I don't believe we've formally met... I am Paiyoon of House Ji." Paiyoon straightened up to her (unimpressively short) height.

"Oh, but who else would it have been directed to? I suppose you would say that it was to Paiyoon, but then wouldn't you say you're being quite rude is the aspect you ignore me simply for my age. Ah, and wonder why I'm here? I was chosen for a reason. The fact I'm younger than you simply means I'm better. Took you oh so many years to finally get recognised, while I'm here right from the very beginning."
Maybe straying slightly off the polite track. But she had to say something, right?
"Nice to meet you, Ms. Ji. I am Athena Luminia Lediana."
Posted: Thu, 27/04/2023 15:10 (2 Years ago)
Promethius dipped their head teresly, they had to rein themselves in more. "Apologies for the insult miss Athena. Let's pray your intellect will save us from certain doom, eh?" They quickly turned their attention to Paiyoon (Yes, that's her name, she'll have to remember that.) "How intruiging...It seems you're a buffer then. There don't seem to be many physically strong people in our party though, i believe most of us were selected for magical capability. The fact that we're going to need your buffs is disturbing news to be for what could happen."
Promethius's head snaped over to Athena, eyes burning in rage. "OH YEAH? YOUNGER MEANS BETTERR. IS IT? WELL, WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME THE LAST TIME YOU FOUGHT A DRAGON, OR THE LAST TIME YOU SAILED INTO THE JADE SEA, RIGHT INTO SIREN TERRITORY?" Promethius said calmly. "That's right, never. So shut your trap youngling, or i'll have to shut it for you, brains or no brains."
Promethius calmed a bit. "Besides, your logic is flawed. I was talking to Paiyoon first, before you even came. Naturally that meant i wasn't directing the sentence towards you. It has nothing to do with age. Also, I don't need the council. All i need is me, myself and I."
And where was I? Burning in hell, of course.

Athena's composture remained as calm as ever. But inside, she was boiling with fury. She knew she had to get out of this, calm down, move away, before she got herself into any serious trouble. But she was stuck in a fountain of lava, getting pushes closer and closer to the erruption.

Paiyoon was torn between laughing, and defusing the fight between the two. They were both wrong, if she was being honest. Age did not correlate to experience, nor does it correlate to talent.
She heard someone, she thought their name was Rei, whispering.
"Mmm, I agree with this one. Princess, gambler, save that crap for later. We'll have quite a bit of time to hash this out once we're in the desert. The courts are shitty, but sirens are deadly. Dragons are best tamed. Whatever, whatever." She pinched the bridge of her nose, exasperation evident in her expression.
"While I loathe to leave a body to the ground, there's nothing else we can do here. Would anyone like to accompany me to the storerooms? We need to equip ourselves."

"I'll tell you what i have that you'll never have child, common sense and respect for those that deserve it. I also know a thing or two about respect for ones elders, which you clearly have not been given. For your information, there are dragons species that can't be tamed, and HAVE to be slain, like the black crested dragon or the spotted blue leviathan. You don't get to talk about how hard it is to navigate the seas and how hard it is to shape the council, you haven't even done the first yet, so you don't get a say in the matter. Statistically thousands die every months from sirens alone, not even taking into account other beasts like leviathans and giant squids."
Upon hearing the voice, Promethius nodded nd disengaged from Athena while giving them a dismissive wave of her hand. She wasn't worth her time. "I'll join you, i'd like to see the armoury myself."
And where was I? Burning in hell, of course.

"Shoot."
Was the only thought in Rei's head before completly freezing up as he notices a green haired goblin... Person made short eye contact with him for a second. He tried to speak something but his voice was silenced out with the Athena girl and this Promethius guy's argument slowly getting more heated as time passes on.

"That's a good suggestion. Sorry for the outburst, Ms. Ji and Mr. Promethius. Is there any chance we could alert anyone about the body? Maybe get the poor elf to a proper hospital."
That was close. Too close. Her temper was just something Athena could never get under wraps. Everything else was easy. But emotions flared as high as they could, and there wasn't always a damper readily available.

"Prometheus, Prometheus. Yes, she's being rather... insolent... but please. We don't have time for this." Paiyoon paused, meeting the gambler's eyes. "Don't let her taunts get to you. Seriously."
She looked at the ever so perfect princess with disdain. The rich gambler was not too much better, hmm? Court was hard, adventures were hard. Try being poor, labelled worthless, and discriminated against for your race, gender, and magic. That was harder. Try building a business from nothing at age 12. That was harderer. But she held her tongue.
To Athena's suggestion: "Nope. We'll leave the body here, dangit. She's healed, just stubbornly unconscious."
"Let's go. Rei, why don't you come with us." She took her leave, striding down the hallway. Paiyoon barely glanced back over her shoulder. These people were getting her nerves.

"The entire meaning of elder is 'An older person with more experience', clearly i fit the bill, unless you're blind of course, in which case i'll happily get you a pair of my glasses." Promethius said snarkily. "And you clearly haven't done your research, black crested dragons are ferocious, and can take on multiple dragons at once with ease, and as I've said earlier, I'm an adventurer. I've sailed through the jade seas, along with my father. I have experience in the matter."
"Prometheus, Prometheus. Yes, she's being rather... insolent... but please. We don't have time for this." Paiyoon paused, meeting the gambler's eyes. "Don't let her taunts get to you. Seriously."
Promethius took in a deep breath. "I'm sorry. I'll be better. Let's go."
And where was I? Burning in hell, of course.
