MacThorstenson Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 (edited) "Well that is fantastic!! I have been searching for one for years. Now for my side of the deal." He states joyfully as he rubs his hands together in anticipation. "I once knew a man who helped his brother kill a god. His brother became a god. The man I knew started working for another god. Who he betrayed to save the world. That turned his brothers apprentice into a god. Who promptly killed the god he was working for, but they both died in the process. One of his friend who killed the first god came out and joined the two gods together and became a super mega god. Who is living happily today. My friend is currently a god. He is sometimes known as Ironeyes. Was that a good trade?" He turned and faced Eighth. "Well I was rather hoping to offer him a cookie, that failing, forcibly subdue him and spike him for his Bloodmakery-ness."

MacThorstenson Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 (edited) Louik raises his hand tentatively. "I have seen him recently and I will write that down, but I don't feel comfortable sharing anything else with those two eaves droppers standing there, could we remove them, or get them to share something?"

GeneralHZRD Posted December 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 "I got it from a very strange man with angula... Wait! Did you just call me an eaves dropper! I'll have you know I've been privy to war meeting between Kings and Emperors! I've seen kingdoms rise and fall! I've seen creature's you've only dreamed of! You think the knowledge you speak of has not crossed my ears before!? Eighth glared at Louik, then like a storm passing, he suddenly calmed. "Sorry, um... That, that's not like me. That doesn't normally happen. You're right, information is owed, what would you like to know?" P.S. Eighth is also ridiculously old, like thousands of years old.

I can't quite remember when I was born, stored those memories in a coppermind, but someone stole that brass spike a while back. I do know that I am numerically, 27 years old. If you hang around me long enough, iron eyes will eventually find and kill you and try to kill me."
