Constructelf Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 IC: I completely ignored Tarnok, as my plant cage was already absorbed by one of the mobsters, and I sheathed my katana. I instead turned to Iulius. "With all due respect, I'm not the one stabbing people and punching them in the stomach. I'm the one defending myself in the closest fashion to standing down possible, until this... Matoran stabbed me." I frowned. "Everyone stand down. Zharuk, you and your friends better get over here, or I will be happy to haul you over."IC: Zharuk"One does not simply walk into Mordor order me around. Except if they're police. And they asked first, and nicely." He walked over. The rest followed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He frowned, leaning back slightly, all earlier talk of combat training forgotten."Obviously, it is true that The Shadow doesn't want us going after him. I doubt that was ever a question.

Internally, it was quite a different story. With infinite care and gentleness, Kirian reached out from underneath his cloak, his abnormally thin and gangly arm reaching towards Gahuari's sleeping form.

"I know that name...""I was a friend of Jalna's." Myka explained."Oh. Em... take a seat, Myka." Tarrhus gestured at a nearby chair, which Myka sat on while Tarrhus' sad eyes gazed at her. "I assume you know what happened.""Actually, I don't. I came here because I was hoping you could explain."Tarrhus nodded sadly, then cleared his throat. "A century ago, as you know, Elax first met my sister. I've been told that it was love at first sight." A dark flame ignited in his eyes and he spat on the floor. "Some love. Twenty years later, things are going great, and she's going to move in with him. Gets me to take her down to Ga-Koro early, planning to spend the day with me and then surprise Elax by showing up at his house the next day. She was a big fan of surprises."She shows me around Ga-Koro -- I didn't know the place well -- and then, at sunset, she takes me to the beach where she met Elax. Tells me she'll miss me. I swore to her then that I'd always be there for her." Tarrhus gulped, and looked down at the floor. "That night, she goes missing. Apparently Elax was devastated. Hah. Two weeks later, we find the body, washed up by the foot of the Falls. We bury her there, in Ga-Koro; it was always her favourite place. I walked over to Elax at the funeral. He seemed angry, although I couldn't say I knew why. I introduced myself, and I swore to him that I'd track down the Brakas who killed Jalna." The Matoran chuckled darkly. "I don't think I need to tell you that the universe has a cruel sense of humour. I go into Jalna's things, looking at them, and I find a note from Elax saying he's gonna kill himself. Said he was gonna jump off the Falls. I think she went, thinking she was gonna try and stop him, but he threw her over. He killed her."I try to track him down. I put up posters, I quit my job in the Guard, but nothing works. Slowly, even my squad which quit with me starts turning on me. Everyone walked out. Everyone 'cept Lezac."Lezac turned to look at Tarrhus as his name was mentioned, but then returned to sharpening his knife, staring at Zyron."I thought I'd have to spend the rest of my life tracking him down, but then, a few days ago, he showed up again. 'Parently he was talking to a Kolhii star right before a Tarakava attack. I heard the Kolhii guy held off the Rahi all on his own. This Matoran, though, he pushes his way through the crowd and makes for Onu-Koro."Now, I know it could've been nothing, but I was desperate and he was the first matching description I'd heard in a long time, so I did a little digging. Guy was calling himself Xerov, living a quiet life. And here's the interesting part: he showed up eighty years ago, the day after Jalna's funeral."
