Magical Fate

[Aldrea945]

Master Xing laughed lightly.  "Follow me.  Meals are this way."  He padded back toward the main room, turning to Craf.  "I assume you've been there?  You have seen the crystal halls and have a ship to get there?" he said, smiling.  Danny padded nearby, humming.  She turned to her companions.
 
"So, where do you all come from?" she purred. 

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Naer spoke up first, assuming that the rest of the group is either too distracted or too nervous to say where they journeyed from. "I come from the cities of steam, brass pipes, and dirigibles. It was there that I learned of my magical affinity for heat and cold, along with the ability to swiftly overcome obstacles..."

[Cifero Windtail]

"Hm... yeah,  you could... he he... say that," Craf said.
Viola walked behind them, just listening, for at the time, she did not have much to say.
 

[Shadis]

*Shadis spoke up next* "I come from a nomadic tribe of Sea Nymphs. We build out houses out of drift wood and sea weed, on rafts. We travel the world's Oceans and Seas, going wherever the tide takes us. I eventually had to leave on my 8th birthday, because that was th eday my wings grew in. It was when my draconic heritige was discovered. My mother-" *I stop speaking as a tear forms at my eye and streaks down my face. I whipe it.* "I'm sorry. I, I'd rather not talk about that."

[Aldrea945]

Danny nodded, still smiling.  "That's alright.  I wish I had a tale like all of yours to tell.  I'm from Erie.  I don't stay there often, but that's where I was born."

[Cifero Windtail]

Violet finally spoke up.
"Well, I'm from a small coastal town..." she said. "Nice place. I met Craf there... although I still don't know where HE comes from..."
"Oh I'll tell you, Violet," Craf said. "But... he he... not yet."

[Shadis]

*Straighting up his expression, Shadis spoke.* "Rrriight... Who are you?" *He is talking about Craf* "Also, where exactly is this food? I havn't had a cooked meal in days."

[Cifero Windtail]

"I am Violet's friend," Craf said. "That's all you need to know... at least, it's all you need to know... he he... for now..."
"He doesn't talk about it much," Violet says. "Actually, that's... really all I know, right there. Oh, and he says he's traveled a lot before he met me...."

[Shadis]

"Hmmm, well, I like him. His Creepy-ness amuses me." *I smile jokeingly, but in a manner that isn't meant as an insult.*

[Cifero Windtail]

Craf nodded in approval.
"Thank you," he said.

[Aldrea945]

Master Xing stopped at a door, covered in white fabric and blue studs.  No nob looked visible.  Danny spoke up.
 
"You fixed the door?  Last time I was here, it was in two..." she mused, pushing it open.  A sundeck, chairs and tables set about, stretched before them.  Ivy wound up Greek columns.  A serving area sat into the wall, no one visible behind it.

Outside, rain pelted the windows.  The windows sat on the edge of a steep cliff, overlooking a valley for below.  Storm clouds raged around them.
 
Master Xing smiled at her.  "You'd be surprised what these old hands can do when they get bored," he said.  He watched the rain, his expression darker, worried almost.  "Go ahead and eat.  You are free to choose what you want."
 
Elizabeth walked to the window, smiling.  "Quite a storm..." she said.  Whispering, she said, "If only I were a part of it..."

[Cifero Windtail]

"Hmm. Nice," Craf said. "Much better than... he he... THAT place...."

[Shadis]

*I calmly apporach Master Xing.* "Thank you Master Xing. Your kindness is impecable." *I meekly head to the table, pick up a plate of chicken, say a silent prayer, and begin eating. While I absent mindedly eat, I notice Elizabeth gazing longingly out the window.* "Whats the matter Ma'am? You look like your waiting for a long lost lover."

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Naer approached the food, and when he picked up a slice of bread it immediately toasted as he heated it in his hand. He brought another loaf over to Elizabeth, as his tail was wrapped around an apple. "Would either of you like piece of bread? I can toast it for you if you like..."

[Kaya]

Elizabeth smiled as she replied to Shadis "I am just not used to being indoors while such a wonderful storm is going on." She then saw Naer approaching and ask if she wanted some toasted bread. "I'm OK.. I don't normally eat all too much. Thank you for offering it to me though."
