I do, hapily to say, own Half of the Dark Lands. I also own THIS! Daisuke. I do not however own Dicarna or Razu, Ceres, Wicca, or Sakura(though I play her).
Once in the castle gates Ceres again helped his sister off her mount and watched as their horses were led away. His eyes didn't seem to stay still as he was looking around.
Wicca looked around, though she didn't seem too enthralled, she was tired of moving about. However, she knew her brother was only trying to find a suitable place for her to rest and heal at. She stood on her own and used Ceres' offered hand for support as they walked to the castle entrance.
Lets find you two a room, and then I'll go look at the book. Do you want to be in the same room or two different ones?" Sakura added looking at the two elves.
Slyly following Daisuke away, Dicarna hesitated at the gates. Her decision, however, about what to do was mitigated upon the two new arrivals. "Hello," she said with a smile as she approached, taking a small bow and allowing her highlighted blonde locks to cascade down her green-clad front. Shoving it hastily back behind her ears, the young magicker bowed again for Sakura.
"Who are you?" Sakura asked, "Why is it you are here?"
"Its okay. This is the other visitor I was talking about" Daisuke replied.
Ceres bowed to Dicarna as well, his wings gliding and touching the ground with the tips. "Hello." He answered softly, and then he turned to Sakura. "The same room please. She doesn't do so well on her own." Ceres grabbed the saddlebags that had been gathered before the horses were led off.
"Hm" Sakura said, nodding. She then walked off down one of the many passages to the right. "I'll be back Daisuke. Follow me," she added to Ceres and Wicca. After passing about 15 rooms she said "Here. This is the best guest room we have." she unlocked the door and walked in. "There's a bathroom to the right, two huge beds, and my room is across the hall. Your welcome in my room anytime." The room was wonderfully huge, gold painted walls and ceilings; the bed had 5 pillows each, one (the biggest) glistening with a purple dragon. There were two dressers painted a brilliantly colored silver. All the colors fit perfectly together, like the painter was dreaming during the whole painting time. "Well, what do you think?"
Ceres stepped inside as he gave his sister a hand, immediately he saw his sister's face light up, they had never been in such magnificent surroundings, not even during their time with the elves. "It's wonderful." Ceres said as his sister turned around to Sakura.
Wicca let down her hood, revealing herself for the first time since coming into the town, her long blonde hair fell down clear to her hips and silver eyes were bright, though the sparkle had been lost due to the lost of her memory and becoming very ill when she got it back. "Thank you so much for you help and kindness." Wicca said quietly, her voice sweet.
This put Ceres back a step, his sister talked, and let down her hood, she didn't do that normally, maybe she was sicker then he though.
A little disappointed when Sakura led the two newcomers away, Dicarna folded her arms and let her face contort into a sideways smirk. Threading wayward strands of highlighted locks impatiently back behind her ears, the elf turned to Daisuke. "Is there any chance I might be able to see that book?" she asked, her eyes pleading. "Or may I follow the angel and his sib?"
Inwardly, she was rather afraid that she would be allowed neither, but these thoughts were banished. Since when did she need permission? She would go visit Ceres and Wicca no matter what!
Unless, of course, the book was available to view...
I am afraid we are not aloud to show you the book until it's had a proper inspection, however you are free to wander the castle anytime. Just, let us...at least let me know before you leave. And as for your sleeping arrangements Ill let you decide after you see this room. He led her down the same hall, toward the right and passes the room Ceres and Wicca where staying in and went down three doors. He opened the door with a key he grabbed from Sakura. As he opened the door, the sparkling from inside flooded the hall. "Here we are" Daisuke said, opening the door all the way and walking in. The room had one bed and was nearly as large as Ceres and Wicca's. It bas painted a velvety black and had silver and gold glistening all over the place. The ceiling looked exactly like a starry night and so did every thing else in the room. Daisuke stepped aside and waited for Dicarna to enter after him.
