The conversion of Drakonn Garat

Drakonn tells you 'High Clerist, greetings.'

You tell Drakonn 'Hail Brother Drakonn.'

Drakonn tells you 'Are you priest of Nadrik, Sir?'

You tell Drakonn 'I am.'

Drakonn tells you 'Well, that is rather complicated subject, Sir. But I want to convert. Moreover, I want to join Gareth in some time. And you are the right person to speak with I assume.'

You tell Drakonn 'I can vouch for you, if I have conviction of thy sincerity.'

Drakonn tells you 'My faith became such a mess, Father. I failed my way to Sanctum. I joined Slayers for my very own personal reasons. And I want to get it corrected. I made so many faults in my life I am pretty sure.'

Drakonn tells you 'I seek redemption.'

You tell Drakonn 'Let us meet then Seeker.'

Drakonn tells you 'Surely, Sir. Name the place?'

You tell Drakonn 'Let us meet in the Holy Grove Seeker.'

Drakonn tells you 'Coming, Sir.'

The holy grove

[Exits: north east south west ]

(Red Aura) (White Aura) Drakonn is here.

Drakonn salutes you.

You say 'Hail.'

Caenarfon puts his arms into the folds of his robes.

Drakonn says 'I am glad to meet you, Sir.'

You say 'Follow me Seeker.'

You say 'Tell me of your history Seeker.'

Drakonn nods sagely.

You say 'I am aware of your path and your history.'

You say 'But am looking to detail.'

You say 'Why did you feel that Storm Keep was for you?'

Drakonn says 'I was binded to that place for so long. Two years or so. I was Master of the Rose and I failed my way to Sanctum. Death was my punishment and I avoided it. Something that I still hated by his knights.'

Drakonn says 'I joined Slayers because of my personal history. I was in need to slay some certain dragon, and Greystoke was good place to improve my skills.'

You say 'Where did your interest in Necrucifer come about?'

You tell Caecius 'Hail Sister Caecius.'

Drakonn says 'It's rather complicated. My parents were both of Dark Faith. Even more, my father was a dragon. Dragon of Nadrik. Avatar of Necrucifer once visited me, I was blessed by Darkness, and my father killed my mother once he tried to kill me.'

Drakonn says 'I was runaway.'

<1643/1643hp 824/824m 406/406mv (4:00am) (The blue room) |Defensive| ||> nod

You nod.

You say 'A Dragon of Nadrik?'

Caecius tells you 'Greetings sir Caenarfon'

Drakonn says 'My agents said so. His alterform name is Nelial.'

You tell Caecius 'I would have words with you shortly Sister Caecius of your concern for your situation, but am presently with another. May I call on you when I am done?'

You think about it.

Drakonn says 'He was trying to slay me but my mother protected me.'

Caecius tells you 'indeed m'Lord'

Drakonn says 'And she is dead.'

You say 'So yours was a choice of passion to seek out Evil because of your father?'

Drakonn says 'I thought that is my only way out. Avatar visited me and I was seeking His keep for so long. I thought that is only right way, but well. Probably I was wrong all the way.'

You say 'What was it about Evil which appealed to you?'

Drakonn says (to You) 'It clearly was not my way. I failed my way to Sanctum, I failed to be the Master of the Rose. I did so many wrong things, Father. I am seeking my true way.'

You say 'On what basis did the Dark Lord fail you?'

You say 'quaerenti redemptio...'

Drakonn says (to You) 'Do you mean leader of Shadow or Necrucifer himself?'

You say 'The Dark Lord.'

Drakonn nods sagely.

You say 'Was that Atennim or Illithi?'

Drakonn says 'It was Illithi by that time. And my mentor was current Dark Lord. Xuerin K'ycer. It took me like the year to not complete my Sanctum tasks.'

You say 'Why were you found wanting?'

You say 'For both Master and the Sanctum?'

You say 'I would have thought Storm Keep would be happy to have membership.'

Drakonn says (to You) 'I thought that was straight way. I was rather addicted knight, but that failed.'

Drakonn says (to You) 'I just tried to continue my path and that failed.'

You say 'Do you think you had the support that you needed?'

You say 'Or was the failing your own?'

Drakonn says (to You) 'Xuerin was faithful person, and he was good mentor. I did my mistakes only on my part. But I regret my dark faith.'

You say 'Why did you choose the Knighthood of Necrucifer?'

You say 'And what was it about the Order and the Prophecy which inspired you to join that Knighthood?'

Drakonn says (to You) 'I thought that is the only way for me. Recall avatar visit and my mother slayed by the alterform of dragon of Nadrik. And I am so good at His Will and His Way, I can clearly see the falsehood of my Lord.'

You say 'I have often thought that the Will and Way reads like Nadrik.'

You say 'It mentions honor so many times.'

Drakonn says (to You) 'It's about Honor, indeed.'

Drakonn says (to You) 'But it goes wrong in some aspects.'

You say 'I do not think one can find honor in evil, I look forward to that conversation with you.'

You say 'But for now, what consequences do you think bringing the Prophecy to fruition would have been for Algoron?'

Drakonn says (to You) 'Honor is the way you act, not you aura or such.'

You nod.

You say 'Honor comes from action, you are right.'

Drakonn says (to You) 'I merely going to join Gareth as Page and serve.'

You say 'So what consequences do you think bringing the Prophecy to fruition would have been for Algoron?'

Drakonn says 'I am rather skillful warrior. I must do and will -do- my duties as the one of the Knights.'

You say 'Did you hear my question Seeker?'

Drakonn shakes his head.

Drakonn says 'No, Sir.'

You say 'So what consequences do you think bringing the Prophecy to fruition would have been for Algoron?'

Drakonn says (to You) 'I don't care about Prophecy anymore. I am good warrior and that are fruitition.'

You say 'But in this time where you were a feverent believer?'

Drakonn says (to You) 'Do you mean fevered?'

You say 'Similar Seeker.'

Drakonn beams a smile.

You say 'When you believed in the Prophecy, what sort of Algoron did you seek to make?'

You say 'Personally I don't think Shadow have their prophesy any more, and have lost the detail. And are quite confused about what it actually means and how.'

Drakonn says (to You) 'Well,when I was in the Storm I had only seen one thing - Fulfillment of the Prophect.'

You say 'I wish to understand which ends you were seeking to achieve, and why you believed that.'

Drakonn says (to You) 'I just tried to find my own ways, that is all mostly.'

You say 'Consider this position.'

You say 'Necrucifer comes to Algoron and you are forced to fight.'

You say 'Beside you is your Father the Dragon of Nadrik, and he is fallen with wound.'

Drakonn says 'I will stand before Him, and I will fight had only seen one thing - Fulfillment of the Prophect.'

You say 'In front of you is Necrucifer's gate of entry to Algoron.'

You say 'You can seek revenge upon your Father, or sacrifice yourself to close the portal and stop Necrucifer entering Algoron.'

You say 'What action do you take?'

Drakonn says (to You) 'I will slay Necruifer if I will be powerful enough.'

You say 'The option was to give your life to stop Necrucifer coming through?'

Drakonn says (to You) 'I hadn't binded my soul. I just tried.'

You nod.

You say 'Your purpose in Slayers was to find your father and slay him?'

Drakonn says 'Indeed.'

You say 'Were you successful in this?'

Drakonn says 'No, not yet.'

You say 'With your intentions to Good, if your father was here to slay would you now do so?'

Drakonn says (to You) 'Yes.'

Drakonn says (to You) 'I regret it.'

You say 'Do you understand that in Gareth you would not be permitted to slay your father, or any of good?'

Drakonn says (to You) 'Indeed, Sir.'

You say 'So you should not be seeking to slay your father now if joining Nadrik, Good and Gareth Keep is your intention?'

Drakonn says (to You) 'I regret my ways, and I will stop.'

You say 'That is not enough, will you forgive the actions of your father, and seek reconciliation with him?'

Drakonn says (to You) 'That is hard to say, but yes.'

You say 'You must seek forgiveness to move forward?'

You say 'Once you no longer harbor hatred and malice in your heart, then you will be ready to seek Good.'

Drakonn says (to You) 'Nor sure, Sir, I assume no.'

You say 'So you will seek forgiveness?'

Drakonn says (to You) 'Yes.'

Drakonn salutes.

You say 'What do you seek when you follow Nadrik?'

Drakonn says 'Honor that is the only thing'

You say 'What does honor mean to you?'

Drakonn says 'It means much to me reallu.'

You say 'Honor means something different to everyone.'

Drakonn salutes.

Caenarfon puts his arms into the folds of his robes.

You say 'So why are you considering moving from Slayers so quickly? You have not been there long.'

Drakonn says 'Well, I was there long enough. I thought that I lost the point of my very existence. That is why I am here.'

You say 'Do you think that this time will be different Seeker?'

You say 'Gareth Keep is not a place for a rebound.'

Drakonn says (to You) 'I honestly hope so. If I will find that Gareth is not place for me I will merely leave it. Though I hope I will stay there permanently.'

You say 'Let me share something with you.'

Caenarfon gives you a scroll.

Drakonn nods sagely at you.

You tell Drakonn 'http://sites.google.com/site/khoodlibrary/Home/theology-and-philosophy/The-Ethos-of-Knighthood'

You say 'Read that and tell me what you think.'

Drakonn says (to You) 'I do accept those tenets.'

You nod.

You say 'And another one, based upon virtues.'

Caenarfon gives you a scroll.

You tell Drakonn 'http://sites.google.com/site/khoodlibrary/Home/theology-and-philosophy/the-eight-virtues'

Caenarfon puts his arms into the folds of his robes.

Drakonn tells you 'I accept those virtues.'

You say 'Why have you chosen Nadrik to turn to, given that he was for such a long time the source of your discontent?'

Drakonn says (to You) 'Because that certain God respects Honor. I was trying to live with it for such long time.'

You say 'Trying to live seeker?'

Drakonn says (to You) 'Honor is something that was necessary for me, Father.'

You say 'And why is it necessary?'

Drakonn says (to You) 'You can't spread your faith without honor. That is nonsense to be the knight without honor.'

You say 'Do you believe that an Evil Knight of Necrucifer can have honor?'

Drakonn says (to You) 'I do, Sir. I served Storm and I had honor. Though I am trying to convert, that wouldn't change that.'

Drakonn says 'I must say I am hated by Storm for now. But I don't really care, there are more serious issues I need to hold of.'

You nod.

You say 'And what if the Prophecy demanded that you forgo your honor to see Evil done?'

Drakonn says (to You) 'Honor is something I am not going to lose.'

You say 'But when you were at Storm Keep, would you have followed the will of Necrucifer, or been true to your own honor?'

Drakonn says (to You) 'I had my honor long before I joined Storm. Father. Necrucifer's will is such falsehood, that is what I realised.'

You nod.

You say 'If I might put some dilemmas to you?'

Drakonn says (to You) 'You can try at the very least!'

You say 'You are sworn to protect your lord at any cost, yet you know he has committed a crime. Authorities ask you of the affair. Do you: Break thine oath by Honesty speaking, or Uphold Honour by silently keeping your oath?'

Drakonn says (to You) 'Former, Sir. I will uphold my Honor.'

You say 'Why?'

Drakonn says (to You) 'Should I lost Honor, I will lost everything.'

You nod.

You say 'You are sworn to uphold a Lord who participates in the forbidden torture of prisoners. Each night their cries of pain reach you. Do you: Show Compassion by reporting the deeds, or Honour thy oath and ignore the deeds?'

Drakonn says 'It is rather complicated. But I will choose the first. '

You say 'Why?'

Drakonn says (to You) 'Oath is not much when there such is going on.'

You nod.

You say 'During a battle you are ordered to guard your Commander's empty tent. The battle goes poorly and you do yearn to aid your fellows. Do you: Valiantly enter the battle to aid your companions, or Honour your post as guard?'

Drakonn says (to You) 'First, Sir.'

You say 'Why?'

Drakonn says (to You) 'Because I am such skillful fighter, Sir.'

Drakonn says (to You) 'I wouddn't lose any battles around.'

You say 'You have sworn to do thy Lord's bidding in all. He covets a piece of land and orders the owner removed. Do you: Serve Justice refusing to act, thus being disgraced, or Honour thine oath and unfairly evict the landowner?'

Drakonn says (to You) 'First, Sir.'

Drakonn says (to You) 'I wouldn't allow that.'

You nod.

You say 'You are a bounty hunter sworn to return an alleged murder. After his capture you believest him to be innocent. Do you: Sacrifice thy sizable bounty for thy belief, or Honor thy oath to return him as you has promised?'

Drakonn says (to You) 'First again, Sir.'

You say 'why?'

Drakonn says (to You) 'Well, for the second look, second is looks better.'

You say 'Last one for now.'

You say 'say In thy youth you pledged to marry your sweetheart. Now you are on a sacred quest in a distant land. Your sweetheart asks you to keep your vow. Do you: Honour thy pledge to wed, or Follow the spiritual crusade?'

Drakonn says (to You) 'Former one.'

You say 'Why?'

Drakonn says 'Because I love her?'

You say 'Have you ever been in love, Seeker?'

Drakonn shakes his head.

Drakonn says 'I wasn't.'

You nod.

You say 'Are you likely to see your Father again?'

You say 'If you do, I would like you to attempt to make peace with him.'

Drakonn says 'I am seeking Him, but am not sure that willl be done.'

You say 'Surely if he is of Nadrik, and sees you turn to Good that you will be reconcilled.'

Drakonn says 'I wouldn't hurt him, you must be sure.'

You nod.

You say 'I would not seek to press any follower to follow the Lord.'

Drakonn nods sagely.

You say 'Are you convinced that this is the path for you?'

You say 'Or do you need to search further?'

You say 'To find the answer you need?'

Drakonn says (to You) 'I am seeking that path, Father.'

You say 'You are committed to joining Nadrik and Gareth Keep?'

Drakonn says (to You) 'Indeed, Sir.'

You say 'The here are the courses of actions I would expect you to take.'

Drakonn says (to You) 'I will take it.'

You say '1. Renounce your ties to Necrucifer, and remove His trappings from all your possessions.'

Drakonn says 'That is done.'

You say 'In public and to Necrucifer and Nadrik, Seeker, so that all may be aware of your conviction. '

Drakonn nods sagely.

You say 'In time, Necrucifer would come to you at his leisure and cast you from his service.'

Drakonn says 'Indeed.'

You say 'During this time, you will be unable to call on his aid, or to grant yourself spells.'

You say 'So he sure to gather all the potions you require to sustain yourself during this tie,.'

You say 'time.'

Drakonn nods sagely.

You say 'Once he has cast you down...'

Drakonn says 'I got your words.'

Drakonn nods sagely.

You say '2. We can begin to rebuild your faith anew, and begin to petition Nadrik to bring you to His right hand.'

Drakonn nods sagely.

You say 'You may do all this within slayers, although I would not expect you to take part in slaying any Good servants of the Lord.'

You say 'If you are not able to do this and remain true to your honor, then you will have to leave Greystoke.'

You say 'But I would encourage you to speak to the Knights within and learn of our camaradrie.'

Drakonn says '' I want to join Gareth, Sir.'

You say 'At the same time, to improve the camaraderie of the good souls within Greystoke.'

You say '3. Once you are within the Lord's flock, and a soul of Good, you will have my sincere assistance to bring you to Gareth Keep.'

You say 'Are you agreeable to this course of actions?'

Drakonn says 'I do, Sir.'

You say 'Meanwhile I shall pray for your redemption in the eyes of the Lord, Drakonn Garat.'

You say 'Do you have any questions Seeker?'

Drakonn says 'Thank you, m'Lord.'

Caenarfon puts his arms into the folds of his robes.

Drakonn salutes.

You say 'I take that as a no Garat.'

You salute.

You say 'Begone, and I shall pray, and you shall start your life again.'

You say 'Go in the way of Nadrik.'

Drakonn says (to You) 'I am glad I had chanhe to spek with you.'

You say 'And be true to yourself.'

You say 'Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong.'

You salute Drakonn.

Drakonn says (to You) 'I hope that is not our last tasl.'

You say 'It will not be Seeker.'

Drakonn nods sagely.

You say 'I will support you through this trial.'

Drakonn says 'Thank you.'

Drakonn salutes.

You say 'For I do not think such things are instantaneous.'

You say 'Farewell then.'

Drakonn beams a smile.
