You know, treaty or not- it was strange to see the supposed devil of the New Temple, just as cool as a cucumber, waiting patiently. He didn't have a retinue, no guards, just him. It had unnerved the guards as one would expect, and even Sergeant Jeffries was concerned about the man's motives and the cold gaze from the hand of the Goddess of Darkness.
The sunny days of the City of LIght, and the wind that stirred the summer air didn't seem to disturb him, instead- it only made him look more fitting with the times. He'd not expected the killer of Moira Zadkiel to come dressed in a grey suit jacket and vest, trousers- tie and pocket square. He looked like he was dressed to tea, not for conquest.
Sergeant Jefferies knocked lightly on the classroom door, having no choice but to approach the Queen about who waited in one of the many parlors of the palace. That parlor while stocked with refreshments, was also currently stocked with guards.
" Your Grace, I hate to interupt, but... but we've got a guest. "

he tilted his head at the knock and rose from the chair instantly. He had a good memory so he took in the language quickly and before Abigail could open the door wiped the board clean it was a clue after all. He turned to watch for now, no need to prepare further this visit he had not revealed himself.
Abigail watched the cloak and nodded before she arose and went to the door " Thank you, Jeffries, You were right to interrupt "she gave him a kind smile.
she took a look back at the cloaked figure he could join her and Kieran if he wanted she gave a little nod of her head forward as if saying your welcome to join.
Kieren would find Abigail's palace quite humble in comparison to the rest of her city. It was more like Mansion. And surprisingly it was actually quite inviting. Even the parlor rooms were cozy filled with plants natural light comfortable furniture 'works of art ' made by her family this even contained a symbol of light forged by her with help of her husband Fred..and you can tell it was obviously made by an amateur with a lot of help.
It was made to feel like her home for this is where she intended to spend the rest of her life.
She herself was dressed to the nines as usual her hair fashioned in some fantastical way. Her dress representative of summer with brightly glowing colors of yellow, blue and purple,
She came in smiling...and flashes those perfectly white straight teeth her blue eyes with flecks of purple sparkled as she saw him
"Keiran what a lovely surprise,! To what do I owe this visit! "
And surprisingly it felt like Abigail meant it. There was no off handing, underlying fakeness to her surprise or joy as it were.

he nodded to the Sergeant and gave him a part on the shoulder "Thanks". Following Abigail she knew the way afte all. His entrance was less then greeting, his gaze fell on the guest and Dennizens words rang true in his head for a moment. "Yes welcome". He guaged the room before moving to find a place to sit.
Kieran stood as the Queen entered, and the Prince crossed the room and took the liberty, of taking the Queen's hands in his. The embrace of such was warm, surprisingly- and for a moment Kieran did not look so horrifically imposing. The Right hand of Tessa, was beautiful- yes, but a kind of dread followed him- a warning that to court his wrath was death.
But- to Abigail, it was different. He found her to be someone he could work with, not against- to prepare the effete and decadent (that she represented so well) for the cold horrors that were still to come.
Kieran, his father's son had already heard- computed, and meditated on the cloaked figure. Prepared for the reveal, and not concerned he nodded offhandedly to the person tapped to 'counter' him- as if the Prince who was Promised, could be countered.
Tessa and Tessa alone, knew at his real purpose- Tessa, and perhaps Abigail.
" Thank you for receiving me, my friend. How are your children? The family?" To anyone else that might've sounded a threat, but here in the privacy of the parlor, it was legitimite interest. They'd all have roles to play in the decades to come.

his gaze shifted to Abigail he was certainly charismatic more then he expected, but he knew the darkness had a certain feel to it. People flourished it seemed under the Grey Goddess, but it still seemed something seemed, well he couldn't place it correctly, If it were not for the sides chosen he could see himself enjoying his company.
He was simply here as a silent observer for now he still didn't speak this was it seemed more of a conversation between Abigal and the Boy.
She smiled and gave him a kiss on the cheek as he took her hands. Abi was no less or more threatening then he was she had proved herself to be quite the foe, but age was not on her side despite being a demigoddess. She had after all even told Kieran, he could call her by her shortened name Abi.
She motioned for them to sit down "everyone is quite healthy. We are preparing for the Landon and Logans 5th birthdays and there first introduction to the public. You are welcomed of course to attend. My other 5 children are healthy, I suspect a wedding soon with Sunny. Which is quite relieving, " Abigail despite being in favor of strong women she was a strong woman after all still adhered to certain traditional practices that woman was never quite complete until she got married and had children. And she would probably expect no less the three or four from Sunny, her being the eldest.
" the other children are quite well and healthy, I am also preparing for my granddaughter's debutante party. "
"I would ask the same of you?"
She dismissed any servants " what can I prepare you to drink?"

he shook his head "No thanks Abigail, I'm well enough". He was rather straight forward with his question now that the niceties were set aside "Since this our first meeting, and clearly you know of me as I know of you, let me ask you a question?" He was rather relaxed it was a comfortable chair "What is you're goddess to you?" everyone had a reason, motherly influence, family legacy, means to an end he was curious what the Grey Goddess was giving to him that he could not find in the light. If he was rude he either didn't seem to care.
or he was using the straightforwardness to throw him off a little boy prince, legacy child none of that mattered to the cloaked figure.
If anything could change Abigail's cheery nature at this point in time it was a rude young mercenary of the light with no ettequite. Her head turned slowly and her lips curled into venomous smile. Her eyes turned a very cold blue. As she looked directly into the cloak of the hooded cloak. She put her hand on Kierans before he could speak.
She didn't raise her voice and it still sounded like sweet Miss abigail but there was no doubt her tongue had turned into a sword. Every word sharp and pronounced
" We are not here to talk about the depths of someone Faith, Hooded Cloak, thank you however for trying to add depth to the conversation, at this point it isn't needed. "
Her eyes then turned back to Kieran and she gave a subtle apologetic glance

Kieran chuckled, at what- was determined by whatever could be known. “Don’t chide the errand boy, Abi. He can’t help who he is. Few can.” In that short sentence he revealed volumes, about what- that was the question.
“I think it is a fair question. If I were face to face with my nemesis, if I had one- I’d think it prudent to ask him why. “ he said with a calm affectation.
“ If you’ll allow him to ask it, I’ll answer- before we turn attention to more important matters than his curiosity.”
If anything could shake or unbalance Kieran- it was not in this room.

She nodded to Kieran and then and waved her hand, as if to open the conversation. Then but a stern glance to the hooded cloak that not test the boundaries of his conversation Abigail worked with venom, but only when needed.
" Then by all means answer, but i will remind the hooded cloak who's home he is in. And what kind of etiquette is expected from this point forward."
“Let me be clear then, you are asking what I get from the Goddess or why I would follow her? “ he asked the cloaked figure, his own curiosity either piqued, or Kieran felt like indulging the mercenary.
Abigail let them speak with each other she has actually gone to visit the goddess once and she found the conversation, well informative. She would allow the conversation to for as long as Kieran would want to allow it.
There relationship while friendly was also political. And he was not here just to have afternoon tea.

" You still aren't being very clear, just repeating oft said maxims." He said with a shake of his head. " I would be far more pointed in my questions- if less...coarse. But, you are entitled to an answer, Son of Stars. " He said with a shake of his head.
" I receive nothing from the Goddess that I was not destined to have. Other bargain for power. Some are conscripted." He gestured to the cloaked figure, " Other's earn it by living a life of service, by such distinction it can only go to one so pure." He then gestured to their hostess.
" I was born to it. Not merely by blood, or whom my parents are, but by the very nature I possess. The Goddess did not pick me, blindly- and while I do adore, my fair Tessa, the Grey Lady- any deity would've had no choice but to work with me."
" If you think I merely bargained my soul away- that some other thing could be given to sway me from the actions I choose? I must disappoint."
" LIke breathing. Like drinking. Like eating. What I am is simply, what I am. With or without the Goddess- with a hundred different hosts to the Dark- I remain. "
" But I say, unto thee, Son of Stars.... I am He, who will save the world from deeper darkness- by showing it through the Darkest of Nights. " His words held a stunning clarity, lacking duplicity or deceit.
Then after a slightly pregnant pause, while he'd continue conversing onsuch if pressed- he had to see to his Hostess question. " Is it too early for that Bourbon ice I hear you have here? I could use something stiffer than tea, Abi- darling. "

he listened intently, If anything he had no doubts on his position he was astute in his beleifs that he was here for some greater purpose he certainly had the education to pervay that to anyone and surely any person might follow him , basically he could read write and speak. He spoke of thing's to come but words, were just words until action was taken. Maggie had spoken of him like he was a common mercenary but it was more then that.
"Legacy" Was his only reply "Is my reason". He looked at Maggie "To simplify it to a fine point, but not mine, my forefathers Legacy". He had no such want's to create something with the light that would be written into history, he was not like Abigail Devout but despite his reasons his position and who he was the god of light Dennizen had still chosen him for this position.
"Yes bourbon would be nice". He agreed on the matter. But let further questions lay to rest for now. He had his own theories now based on their interaction.
He chuckled. the sound dry. " Well, legacy. That's pretty selfish. Suffice to say, when the time comes- and you finally come looking for me- I will make sure they remember you."
" But... for the record, sir- I wasn't really interested in why you've subjugated yourself."

She nodded and pours then both their requested drinks, Abigail thought on it and decided to our self a very light wine. Barely enough alcohol to get a mouse drunk, she had not spoken through the conversation. Only listened.
Then Kieran decided he was finished " yes back to the business at hand. She wasn't trying to ignore the hooded cloak, however, she did want to hear the reason he was here.
Once they left this room and this city if the hooded cloak so pleased he could ask as many questions as he wanted past this point
" if you are so curious as to what the dark goddess offers, visit her, I did, but I suggest you bring a gift and be much more polite, there are times in our life where humbleness and honey get your farther then being raw and leaving the taste of vinegar behind."
She then turned her attention back to kieran "please continue dear"

" You may know of the encroaching attacks on my grandfather's territory, lead by the Demon Freed, Asmodeus." he said lifting a leg over the other and leaning back, the man's imposing stature and fitness seemed at contrast with his beauty, and the seemingly relaxed state he could be between genders.
Such norms, sexual and otherwise, had no place for the Prince of Darkness. Taking a sip of the bourbon slush, a refreshing summer treat, he nodded conveying thanks for the drink out of his obvious pleasure. No matter the state of the world, it would always have a place for the line of Abigail. She did not have to bargain for that. Her hard work made it so.
" Fool that Arc Kaliba is- he is woefully unaware of the troops Asmodeus has in reserves. And much of the game board has assumed that Asmodeus is one of mine. Or....more precisely one of the Grey Goddess'. " He shook his head.
" In roughly a three weeks time, Asmodeus will use his army of demon blooded soldiers- something that should not exist on the material plane, to attack numerous spots across the map- isolating New Arisalon- and putting his main thrust there, to ensure their demise."
" I do not think much can be done about that... but Asmodeus' other targets? And the survival of New Arisalon in general....if not specifics... that can be done."
She sat back and listened " I was not unaware, Of a growing darkness, part of the reason I had militarized my city so heavily. I just didn't know the source, it makes sense now "
She gave the hooded cloak a i told you so look, by simply showing courtesy over a long period of time worked much better then direct rude questions ever would. It was in this very way she took down mordred and monet. Good did not always mean nice and nice did not always mean weak.
"Queen Lealia has a larger and more well train military then I, so what it is that you are asking of me?"
Abigail could read between the lines New Arisalon not falling would be for his benefit in some way. But she would play along for now.

sipped his bourbon and listened about news of a pending attack on a city he'd visited maybe only a week prior. "Legions would be needed to take that place unless perhaps inside forces would seek to see it taken even demonically infused soldiers would have a hard time".
"Queen Laelia's military has one little problem." He said with a shake of his head. "It cannot move fast. Her position as High Queen is unfortunate. She cannot marshall forces without support from other rulers. Rulers who would find her running to help her father, a waste of resources."
" Many would like to see New Arisalon fall. " He said with a shake of his head, " It is the short sightedness of pride, and the lacking memory of all the times such a white city has intervened. Still... Conquerors seldom receive aid. Besides..."
" Spreading her military to all the points Asmodeus intends to attack, " he let the rationale settle. " The army would be weak enough to allow attack on the capital. Asmodeus creates more soldiers with every village. He's converted thousands."
" Asmodeus has legions enough to fight a war on many fronts, as not every army is equipped to resist such organized forces. He's also the one behind the Iron Lord, and the Quintessence that made so many 'rookie' soldiers, perform like seasoned veterans."
" I told you, because Asmodeus will attack either the City of Light or Silem- and The Xenothrin lands, to some extent because of geography."
" I need you prepared, and while you've done as I've predicted, I thought it rude to not let you know."

He was right if Abigail knew anything about anything it was how to deal with demons. And she looked to the hooded cloak
" If the Prince of Darkness ( referring to Kieran also point out his strength ) is here to say.. That New Arisalon can be taken, then I would suspect legions is what we are dealing with "
She nodded " I will prepare the holy weaponry, inform the city's. As well as the temple, I will make sure my paladins and my battle clerics are well prepared. "
" I can speak with Queen Laelia as well. I still have rapport with her."
" Thank you, Kieran, I appreciate it more then you know "

" Three weeks, my friend." He said as he rose from his seat, his eyes for a moment leveling on the cloaked figure for a short moment he said nothing and returned attention to Abigail.
" Asmodeus is a creature motivated by violence, revenge... but he is intelligent. Expect him to be shrewd in his targets. He will seek to hurt Tyran as much as he can- even if he is to lose."
" Thank you for the drink. " he said with a deep nod to her, and then a glance back at the cloaked figure.
"And you- good luck with that legacy thing."
