Thread: flectere si nequeo superos, Acheronta movebo (NoxRogue)

RE Flectere Si Equeo Superos, Achaeronta Movebo NoxRogue Richter met them in his office. He listened to Yuri, seated behind the desk, as he explained what had happened and his thoughts on the barrier. Richter picked up a glass from the table and drained the water from it, running his tongue over his lips once he had finished. Then it was his turn to speak, What an unfortunate end for that soldier and an unfortunate twist for you. I come to understand from the way you worded it that you desire to be the one to lead the exploration into Gaal Castle. Is it you think your sister there? When Yuri confirmed his suspicions, he continued, As I thought. Well for now, we will have you return to your room whilst we sort this out. I have a Pagan in mind that I visit frequently. She is very powerful and may be willing to lend her expertise on the matter. We will inform you when it has been verified and send you on your way again. Enjoy your downtime for now, will you? Richter lifted the coat of fur from the rack, which seemed to be made of some material resembling a leopard, but closer to the fur of a wolf. Shrugging the coat on they made their way outside, where he placed the wide cap on his head and made his way toward the shop where he could find the Pagan. That left them to return to the Seven Port Inn and rest. Yuri opened the door for her and let her take her place on her own bed, moving to the window to look out of it. He heard what she said, but for a moment seemed to be transfixed by his own thoughts. There was a silence between them before he responded, I know you will accompany me. I just thought it would be in our best interest to discuss it. Whatever is plaguing this city and this castle is powerful. Those creatures were unlike anything I've ever encountered. I beggar to think that they are not the only powerful and twisted thing lying in wait inside of that castle. It is so spacious, after all. I just do not desire to put you into any direct line of danger for something as simple as a piece of information that could be faulty. I however, will not disregard your intentions nor your decision. If you have decide we shall continue on this path together, then together we shall go. He left the window and returned to his bed, laying on it as she did, without the added motion of his knee in the air. His eyes were focused on the ceiling, his sheathed sword laid against his chest as his thoughts traveled over the creatures and Gaal Castle itself. Richter entered the shop of the Pagan woman, Luthra, to be welcomed by a sweet smell wafting through the air. Her shop was adorned with several different items, all pertaining to witchcraft. There were trinkets here and there, candles, books, items to use in rituals. Though normally an unsavory place for one not a Pagan to be, Luthra and Richter had come to understand one another and she had helped the Militia on more than one occasion. He removed his hat and gave a curt nod to the man behind the counter, spreading the beaded curtain to the side of said counter, allowing him entrance to the back room where Luthra was. He took a seat in the booth, looking across to her. She had always been stunning. Such a beautiful and well proportioned woman. He laid a hand on the table, followed by his hat and began, As you know Luthra, Gaal Castle has been troublesome to this town and the Militia for quite some time. We sent an expeditionary team to scout the castle and see if we could locate the source of the creatures that have been troubling our denizens. Our team confirmed there is a magical barrier there, among other things, keeping them from entering further into its depths. We wanted to contract you, to see if you could dissipate this barrier and help us further our excursion inside. Of course, you will not be doing this for free. We will pay a hefty price for your services, as we have in the pass. What do you say?
