An Interesting Turn of Events [Part Four]

**Agatone jumps from above and lands in front of Keptah.**

 

 [Keptah]: "You again...?"

 [Agatone]: *smirks an nods* of course, who else would stalk the shadow..

[Keptah]: "You are begining to become a common pest to me..."

[Keptah]: "What business do you have, archer?"

 [Agatone]: *laughs with a silly grin on his face* Bussines? I have non with that which cannot even do what I did yesterday, perhaps your power does know its limits

 [Keptah]: **A smirk breaks upon his face, he chuckles softly.** "Then you'll leave me to my work, no? Or are you going to continue to make attempts upon my work?"

[Keptah]: **He brings a hand to his chin and taps a talon upon his chin, pondering.**

[Agatone]: *shakes his head* Why would I stop you from such...I have already taken care of some of your work for you..

[Keptah]: "Is that so?"

[Keptah]: "My... you're too much."

 [Agatone]: *holds up his hand holding black strands of hair, droping them to the ground* Two of house of Invicta felt the sting of my arrow, an I cursed their name..they will fear you more after that night

 [Keptah]: **He arches a thin black eyebrow.** "And why... would one whom has worked against me... do such a... beautiful act... in my name?"

 [Agatone]: *shrugs* perhaps, there comes a time, when one must no longer stand with those he calls family...My doing so for you will have a price.

[Keptah]: "You dare slay my foes and demand a price?"

[Agatone]: *chuckles an nods* why else would I seek you out...

[Keptah]: "You either have a fine way of making humor and jests, or perhaps a terrible way of trying to strike a deal with darkness and death..."

[Keptah]: "Speak and I shall listen..."

[Agatone]: *taking his hand up towards his head, he taps his skull* I know more, perhaps something else you would know

[Keptah]: **He inhales deeply, exhaling a thick black fog from past his lips. The orange rings around his eyes burn brightly like hellish circles, within the void black pupils burns crimson fire.** "I am awaiting what you have to offer me, if... it is anything of value..."

[Agatone]: *tilts his head as he grins through the mask at keptah* ..There will be two things I ask an will get from you, I will continue to destroy those within the house, an you will repay me with Cymera, for she too works an schemes against you..

[Keptah]: "... What...?"

[Keptah]: "You have my interest... Archer... and perhaps my wrath if what you speak is lies..."

[Agatone]: *nods to him* Aye she does...she is not the apprentice you had wanted.

[Keptah]: "You accuse my apprentice, where's the proof?"

[Agatone]: *smiles* when you have with you again...do make sure to have me close by..she carries a parchment with her, hidden in her robes that talk of her orders from the Dragons..

[Agatone]: *chuckles* she was to follow an aid you, learn from you to find a weakness

[Keptah]: "You dare attempt to turn a masters wrath upon his apprentice?"

[Keptah]: "With naught but lies?"

[Keptah]: "Why should I believe you?"

[Keptah]: "Give me one good reason."

[Agatone]: *shakes his head smiling* I nae lie to you, an nor do I expect you to bring down wrath apon her, that would be my doing...in your name

[Keptah]: "You want Cymera for what reasons?"

[Agatone]: *smirks* I have no reason to fill you with such lies..

 [Keptah]: "What would an Archer do with someone twice his power?"

[Keptah]: "... twice his knowledge?"

[Agatone]: *shrugs* there are things...even her power can not stop..

[Keptah]: "Like what, amuse me..."

[Keptah]: **He growls.**

[Agatone]: Have you ever heard the screams of a woman...it fills you with more power then any god could give you..

 [Keptah]: "You attempt to unleash the wrath within this body bound by flesh... You insult my apprentice and her powers... You try and turn her master against her... You attempt to fill me with lies after showing me heads from Invicta that you say are in my name... You ask me to give my apprentice to you??"

[Agatone]: *shrugs* believe me or not, she is not what you believer her to be...an you will find out, my second demand for my work, an loyalty, you will nae harm any under the Taskelion banner, an you will go out of your way to do so..

[Keptah]: "......"

[Keptah]: "Whom is Taskelion?"

[Agatone]: All of them..they are not your prey an you will do no harm to them..

[Keptah]: "And why would I not harm them?"

[Keptah]: "Let us make this simple... Shall they anger me or get in my way... I will destroy any of them... If they are not in my way... I will spare them."

[Agatone]: Because...then you would nae have another to help in your work, an you know you it would make the work that much easier..*shrugs* your choice, I will await your answer, leave a parchment with the Inn keep

 [Keptah]: "You do amuse me archer, but you are not as powerful as you believe."

[Keptah]: "With or without you, my work is completed.'

[Keptah]: "I care not if you follow me... or fight against me... Either way, I am the same as my work."

[Agatone]: Powerful enough to lay your body outside the keep, an had it not been for those guards I would have draged that corpse through the streets

[Agatone]: I will await your word...

 

**Agatone disappears**

 

[Keptah]: "Your spineless threats…”

[Keptah]: “…Blasted inferior dog… How dare he tell me that Cymera is not loyal…”
