Several birds happily chirp away among the tree tops, fluttering around every once in awhile. The wind quietly whistles among the trees, the grass, and the plants.
A woman steps out from behind one of the trees, smiling as she tilts from side to side. Her lips were black, and she had blue-gray eyes with short blonde hair. She also had a tattoo that ran up from the side of one of her legs to her face, mostly in greens and blues. Her clothing was mostly red, a sort of dress with an exotic flair.
"Welcome."

*She nods imperceptibly to the woman, then re-thinks it and curtsies. She pauses to examine the woman before returning her greeting. The tattoo was very interesting, as were the black lips, but any mage could do that with a simple illusion spell. At last she returns her gaze to the woman's eyes.*
Hello, and thank you. Although welcome is not what I would have expected you to say to an intruder.
*A smile plays along her lips as she begins to probe a little deeper so as to find out what sort of power this woman has.*

Although welcome is not what I would have expected you to say to an intruder.*A smile plays along her lips as she begins to probe a little deeper so as to find out what sort of power this woman has.* There is absolutely no mental barriers or protections set up around this woman's mind, and Angel quickly understands why. It is like gazing into infinity, with an ever shifting sea of possibilities just out of reach. Things race by far too fast to even hope to pick up on, and it is hard to tell who is Royce in all that mess... or even what she is.
She smiles."If you were anything but invited, you would have never made it through the door."

*She reels mentally from the possibilities, yet yearns for more, the infinity of that mind being so much more interesting that the droll mortality of anything else. Quickly she catches herself from diving too far into that uncharted and dangerous territory, even as powerful as she is, she must still bow to a higher being.*
Invited in word, perhaps not in action. We have a way of using puppets to do our bidding, without remorse or guilt, for it merely represents a part of ourselves.
*She checks herself, and starts again.*
I feel that I have been here before, therfore not invited, but intruding upon a fraction of my brain not used before. It is almost like I was compelled to be here by you, without knowing who you are. Similar to a moth being drawn to a flame.
But now for the interesting part, as you no doubt know who I am and what I am, there is no need for a charade. But the question that weighs me down as if my heart were chained to the abyss itself, is; Who are you?

The smile that crosses her face can only be described with one word: Mischievous.
"I am Royce, Chosen Seer of Sykel. I see many things."

Yes, that part I could have guessed.
*She sighs a little impatiently at Royce's look.*
Tell me, if you see so many things, then why am I here and what is my intent on this plane?

"Ah, but it would be terribly rude to do something like that..."
Royce giggles and walks behind one of the many trees. She doesn't walk out the other side, and her voice is heard from all sides.
"...wouldn't it? I mean, it involves so many of your personal goals, Ka-Ata-Killa. Not that it takes a Seer to know some of them."
She steps out from behind a tree on the other side of Angel.

Ka-Ata-Killa...
*She rolls her name around her tongue, as if it were a sweet wine, or in her case, blood. Hmph...interesting being, this seer standing beside her.*
Yes, perhaps it would be rude. No more so than asking a God for intervention, but rude none the less. And yes, it does involve many of my personal goals, much more so than my love for mortals.
I must admit that certain desires of mine are apparent even to the blind, but who is to say that I am driven by a deeper cause? I could long only for the desires that are visible in my eyes for all anyone knows. It would take more than a seer to read my heart, and even then, sometimes I do not even know why I lust, or why I feel as I do.
*She experiments with a spell, summoning a chaise and table to her, so as to lie down.*
.oO(Hopefully spells don't backfire here...wouldn't do to repeat the Abyss scenario here.)

*She disrupts her own concentration, intentionally absorbing the pain from the misfire. She winces slightly then wheels to face the Seer.*
Perhaps I am too forward, not questioning enough? Do you usually get cowards and timid mice in here, seeking answers to theirt pathetic life? I just want to know who to kill here to gain the most magic. That simple, I just want knowledge.

The table and chair seem to appear, regardless. Royce is sitting in one of the chairs, happily sipping tea and looking over the rim at Angel.
"Kill? So violent a way to seek knowledge."
[ooc: Sorry, didn't have the time to deal with this for a bit]

Death is just a part of the life cycle. Everything dies to be re-born ina newer if not better form. If something must die for my knowledge to bear fruit, then I will not shed tears for it.
*She shrugs, and looks at the Seer*
The concept of killing being bad or good, that is a mortal thought.

"That is a common belief on Forven, a hopeful religion that few actually believe but all wish as truth and salvation."
She sips her tea and sets the glass down. She absent mindedly plays with her earring as she speaks.
"Explain Celestials and Fiends, then. They too are immortal, yet they see things in shades of black and white as well."

*Ahh, an age old debate*
Do they really see? Or just follow the impulses of whatever diety compells them? I personally believe that they do not see in black and white, but in grey, like I do. They however are not capable of breaking the fetters that hold them to one side of the battle.
Think of the opportunistic thief, who will backstab one from his own family in order to get gold, and of the paladin who will not backstab one person, even if it meant saving one hundred more.
*This line of thinking, if kept up, could drive a kender mad. Hopefully Royce isn't going to keep going.*

"Yet personal opinion is nothing when compared to fact. When it is burned into one's soul, is one's views truly grey, or do they just think they are? For one to rise, they must change. For one to fall, they must change. More than views and thoughts, more than feelings and hearts. The opinion of a mere Astral Dragon means nothing when compared to what is... and is not." The seer, Royce, smiles. "Ask me your real questions. Or leave."

Who posseses what I do not? Who can teach me, or sacrifice to me, knowledge I have not yet attained?
