Honora Castellum

Artisan pulls out two vials of purple liquid from his coat. One is a lighter purple while the other is a deeper shade, almost violet. He also pulled out a small seed.

He hands the violet one to Jessie, "Okay so this one will make the soil beneath us suitable to plant this tree that I have made... laying dormant in this seed.." He took her right to the center of Honora Castellum, "I feel like Johnny Appleseed... only with removing poisonous toxins instead of apples..."

Jessie gets to work feeling relaxed-

"Very good..." Once the soil had changed appropriately, something brand new sprung from the ground. A thing not of rock or stone, but of leaf. A long thin strand of green awoke as though asleep for many years and just now realizing the sun was out.

Artisan dug away just enough to bury the seed, and then handed to Jessie the last of the vials, "Here you are... this one will accelerate the growth by years! Way I've estimated it, it's got a 10: 1 minutes to years ratio. Once this baby blooms, it'll take in the toxins as nothing more than nutrients and expel fresh air."

"Plus the smell of strawberries... a different scent than musk and due might do the mindset of our family better."

Ooc *cough* Jessie *cough*

Ic Mmmm.... -she smiles-

You're a genius!

OOC Whatever do you mean?

Ic

"Yes, that is right.." He smiled at her, and gestured to the vial he gave her, "Go ahead, pour it on the seed. None of it would be possible without you."

Smiles and does so-

No sooner had the droplet hit the ground a sprout started to erupt from the ground which grew steadily larger, "We may want to back up..."

Jessie immediatly goes behind Artisan-

A mighty tree soon stood in the center of Honora Castellum, its leafs a radiant green that grass would be envious of. Each branch was as thick as a redwoods trunk itself, easily able to hold a group of people without bending.

"Well now we wait.."

Crest had sent a letter to Liria,

"Liria, meet me Honora." He waited in the center of town, under the statue of his brother for Liria to arrive.

Arrives-

Whats wrong?

"Nothing, I have something to give to you..."

Looks surprised-

"Think of it as a gift and obligation." He started walking toward a tunnel in the cavernous city, "follow,"

Follows not entirely enthusisastic+

"Show no emotion." He told her as he light up a torch and started walking through a dark section of the cave.

In this part was a gigantic python, bronze in color with silver eyes. It rose from its coil and looked forward having heard something. However he couldn't seem to see Crest who was stoic the entire time as he passed by it without fear.

Does so-

"It would only strike those with emotion present..." Crest explained as he approached a large metal door with the strayer family crest on it. 

"This is progenitors vault, where he hide many of his darker secrets. I rediscovered it only recently."

Figured.

Oh?

He stepped inside to one of the podiums, which held a ring on it, a silver ring with the family crest on it. It was this ring that Crest picked up and held out to her.

Takes it-

Thanks?

"This ring can paralyze any strayer by stating their real name. I give it to you."

"Until recently the possibility of my defection was distant. But because of the Helm incident, I want someone I trust to be able to stop me if the worst occurs."

Looks surprised-

Crest silently starting to walk out, he knew the gravity of what he did and he knew Liria did as well. She wouldn't abuse her newfound power over him like the maker of that ring...

There is a mysterious figure at the gate-
