Quest preperations -See through the darkness-

"Oh anything for you sugar!" Gracie perked up. "6000 gold." She winked. The shelves started rattling ominously.

[Ike]

Ike connected to Sereph trying to get her to calm the hell down. A slightly annoyed expression covers his face for a quick second. "Ok thanks once again." He walks over to the counter and hands her another pouch with 6000 gold in it. He then takes the gems from the counter. "C'ya and thanks." He says before heading out.

Sereph holds up a sack with 6000 gold in it and an annoyed expression left her face as he stepped out.. "here is the money for my stones...." she said reverting back to her stiff manners. Then she took the stones inserted them into her weapons and waited for ike before taking off.

[Ike]

Ike puts the pouch away then follows after Sereph. "So what happened to acting like a normal teenager." He says with a smile which is barely visible beneath his hood. "You're back to using manners again?"

"No, old habits die hard. I've been the same way for years since i learned how to speak. It's like i was frozen in time. I'm trying to undo what many years did to me." She explained. "There will always be a scar of who i was." She said. "No matter how much i wish i could erase it." She turned to him. "We need one more thing unless you need something your not telling me about."

[Ike]

"I have everything I need right here." He taps the hilt of his sword. "Anyway what do we still need?" He asked not really knowing what more they would need for their quest.

"It depends on where we are going." She said thoughtfully. "If we are going to see the dragons, we'll need a special amulet to keep us each from freezing to death. If we go to the elves we will need a face mask for each of us to protect us from breathing in the pollen spores on the hive. That type of plant produces spores that cause the breather to hallucinate, they plant it there for protection. If we go to the vampires we'll each need to drink a venom potion so it makes it impossible for them to eat or turn us without being badly poisoned or killed." Sereph had apparently mentally prepared for all these options. "Which place would you like to visit ike?" she asked without even a trace of fear. Sometimes sereph could be extraordinary in the face of uncertainty. Freezing to death, death by hallucination, death by vampire, and she acted like it was a day trip. Amazing.

[Ike]

"Let's go to the hive." He said after thinking for a moment. "If we run into trouble there there is more chance of fighting them off." He said calmly, he paused for a moment then continued. "Dragons and vampires are harder to kill than elves." He then chuckled before finishing. "And facemasks sound cooler than all the other things we may need."

[Deleted]

"Aside from the possibility of killing vampires, we shouldn't be killing anything else. We aren't going there to fight, we are going there to talk." She said as she went into the tailor shop.
