The First Step (Plot Thread 1.1)

[Seth Dezari]

"None, no, and nada."

A voice cut all the heroes off, a man with light blue hair walked to them. Next to them was a woman with long beautiful brown hair, Eli's mother. The man with light blue hair walked up to Eli and glared at the boy.

"Where is it. What did you do with that crystal?"

[Eli Ventus]

Eli was surprised to see the man up and moving, more surprised to see his mother right there too. Probably followed him out of worry. When the man towered over him demanding for the crystal he was confused at first, but then he remembered what he still had on him. He looked down at his feet, red faced as he slowly pulled a long oval pure white crystal out and handed it to him.

[Seth Dezari]

Seth took the crystal and slipped it in a protective pouch at his side, he looked down at this boy with a hard criticizing stare.

"Do you know how many people you endangered just by holding this? Even parading around with it?" he sighed, "You're damn lucky strong warriors were here today...still...hard to believe that you are a Lunar Knight."

[Yeligar Maelstrom]

"A Lunar knight? Crystals?" Yeligar asked as he looked at Seth, then Eli. "Ok, is this all connected with the monsters that just attacked Nachtundtag, and the dark knight." He was worried that his kingdom would be threaten... again.

[Andy Jammer]

"Who are you?" Andy asked, glaring at this man who came out of nowhere. "What makes you think Eli is a Lunar Knight, and what is that crystal?"

[Seth Dezari]

Seth didn't like the way this punk was asking him questions, he scoffed at Andy's question and answered with as much sarcasm as he possibly could.

"Perhaps it is because I am a Lunar Knight myself?" he said, "And this crystal has nothing to do with any of you."

[Scott Osborne]

Scott butted into the conversation, clearly frustrated. "Listen, this is no more your business than it is ours. We just fought to save a town from god forsaken monsters. If it relates to that Crystal, I think that Crystal is our business. . ." Scott looked Seth in the eyes and said "I may be a mercenary, but I'd like to know what I just risked dying for. . ."

[Julie Clementae]

Now things were getting interesting. Even without the blue-haired guy (who was giving her flashbacks to Arkarian from The Named) the new twists in the plot made her wish she had a bowl of extra-buttery popcorn and a comfy seat. Instead, she leaned on the staff and continued watching.

[lana]

"Who the hell do you think you are huh?" Lana also stepped in, "We all got sent the same damn note that told us all to come here. I'm thinking that your little crystal is probably the big reason why we're here. So start talking."

[Seth Dezari]

Seth stared at these two who had suddenly decided to join in, he blinked a bit about a note. But that wasn't his problem...

...but, if they were all sent here...then maybe there was a reason to that. It'd be better to find out first hand.

"This Crystal, the one right here? Is the one last few remaining relics of Ketuluna. The home of the Ketalunians." he held it up for them to see, "And the ones who are after it...well, are Ketalunians. True Ketulunians, ones that were not anywhere near Ketalunanox during Xisa's mass genocide. And before you ask no, I do not know why they want the crystals. What I do know is this: they're willing to be violent to get it."

[Eli Ventus]

Eli's eyes raised as Seth explained his story, Ketulunians and secret crystals were very jaw dropping...but his focus was on one part: the fact that he said that Eli was a Lunar Knight. A Lunar Knight. The ones who should have been killed off long ago...and he was one of them.

[Andy Jammer]

"Are you serious...?" Andy asked, this person's story being a bit hard to swallow. "All these monsters are the work of these Ketulanians?"

Andy was told that there weren't any pure blood Ketulunians anymore, so the fact that there are any was a bit hard to believe. Allorum was a strange place he admitted, not everything that was written in lore was true...but still, this was harder to wrap his head around.

[Seth Dezari]

"I wish these monsters were their work, sadly the answer is no." Seth crossed his arms. "This is done by a new player."

–"Seth Dezari"

"As I was running with this crystal I got ambushed by some freak in red and black armor, he seemed hellbent on getting the crystals. He also didn't seem to be aligned with the Ketulunians. If they're intentions were bad, this thing...it's gotta be worse. Much worse."

[Yeligar Maelstrom]

"... How do you know so much about the enemies plans?" Yeligar asked Seth, wondering how he knew so much about what was going on here. "You say you don't know why they want the crystal, but you do seem to know what happened here."

[Seth Dezari]

Seth turned to Yeligar, "Weren't you just listening? I just said I didn't know what they were planning with the crystals, and as far as I know the Ketulanians cannot summon monsters from thin air. Seeing that I was attacked last night by an armored creep who could summon monsters, I think that makes it safe to say that this was the work of that armored creep. Now, anybody else need me to repeat the same info a third time?"

A people person Seth was not, definitely not a good guy to put on public relations. No patience and easy to irritate.
