* With the same mentality as a smaller, more barb tailed elemental, the dragon took a step back, slightly afraid of what this question might entail. He swallowed and let a second or two pass before he opened his mouth to speak... remembering what a cross Solar can look like when they think you have done wrong*
" What.... kind of questions do you have? I can assure you, I will answer them to the best of my ability, copper spider."
* The fear was apparent in his voice. Strange it was to see something usually so powerful acting so meek*

*hearing the fear in the dragon's voice the Twilight blinked a little, surprised. Quar was nothing to be trifled with, so why was he afraid of her? Could he possibly remember her digging at the machine around his neck a few weeks back? Would that be enough to frighten him? She smiled to the man-shaped dragon and resisted the urge to give him a hug. Poor thing...*
Just call me Lirimana, or Liri if you prefer
*Lirimana did her best to take on a genial tone that wouldn't scare him. She didn't feel the need to be stern so it wasn't a difficult task..*
I was wondering why exactly you were running like that. Were you guiding the arrows to their destinations? Please leave nothing out. And if you were, and someone or something had instructed you to do so, who or what was it? Emperor Ress?

* Quar seemed to calm as the situation turned less dire. He sighed as he raised his left cheek and turned his gaze to the sky thinking back. most of his memories were thrown to the winds when he thought he was going to see an angry Solar... but now things were settling.
He then looked back down and gave a nod, still looking like a Jokun Elemental, despite his evolution*
" Yes, now that you mention it... Ress got a strange look in his eye, then told me to run from here, to Aranea, then to Kideshin.. then Bezair.. I then changed into a dragon and ran off... but as I was running away, I turned around and saw him readying his bow and taking aim... I'm not sure what he was doing.. but an order is an order."

I see...
*Lirimana sighed, a deep, heavy sigh. The sadness darkened her face and she shook her head, dreadlocks swaying back and forth as she did*
And what else can you tell me of Ress? Was his voice any different, had he spoken to you before he told you to run? Did he hold himself any differently?
*the Twilight hoped that there was some explanation, like a possession perhaps, to give. She was not looking forward to informing the Lunar. That would be messy andmaybe even bloody. She had heard quite a few stories about the rage of some Lunars, and Arachnia was a manipulative two-faced being who could be hiding an enormous power... Not something the Twilight was looking forward to*

* Without missing a beat, the dragon nodded.. obviously not trying to understand the situation, as he had not achieved the maturity and callousness that usually came with becoming a Lesser Elemental Dragon*
" He did change attitudes a few times.. when he first called, he sounded scared... but when I arrived, he looked and sounded more distant and unassuming... but then he told me to run to the cities and blow sand into the air every mile, he was angry ans spoke with a clear, deep voice... I have never heard him sound like that before...... well...."
* he looked down and to the left, remembering the past incarnation of the new, young emperor*
"..... I think it was around that time that I was hit by an arrow... once in Aranea, then again in Kideshin. I was surprised nobody noticed me... I guess dragons are not as impressive now as they were in The Golden Age"

*Lirimana rubbed her eyebrows with one hand, sighing a little softly and shaking her head*
You paused, why? "Well" what?
*her eyes narrowed a little suspiciously. It wasn't an angry look, though she intended for it to take on a sternness that would tell him he better not avoid answering. This could be bad, depending on what Quar said. She may need to talk to Ress himself, but it was times like these that she wished she were a better interrogator. Maybe Dal'Lumen would be a good candidate? Priests were usually fair and the Zeniths were kings once, weren't they? The abilities of kings should be able to pick up where her information can't. If only this wasn't Ress being dealt with, then she could get Arachnia's help. To be honest with herself, the Twilight didn't think that the spider should even be near when they talk to him. Irrational as she was at the moment it wouldn't be a good idea to accuse Ress in front of her. Why did it have to be Ress, of all people?..*

* He shrugged, not thinking much of his pause, but he knew better than to defy a prince of earth*
" humm... it was just about how I have heard that tone before... whenever Bo-Ki-Sa-Chi got angry and was going to exact vengeance, he sounded like that.. exactly actually. It was scarier back then though"
* The dragon started showing his rank by stating his lack of fear for Emperor Ress... or at least not as afraid of him as this Bo-Ki-Sa-Chi person*

Bo-Ki-Sa-Chi? Was he the past Emperor of this place? If so, that would mean that he was Ress's previous incarnation, yes?
*One could see the wheels turning in the Twilight's head. If it really was the past Emperor, then what could that mean? Was there a key here that she was missing? Could it be that some fragment of this Bo-Ki-Sa-Chi person attatched itself to Ress? It would work well as a possibility assuming that Ress and Bo-Ki-Sa-Chi were of the same Essence. She, herself, remembered things of her previous Essence-lives. His lack of fear for Ress versus Bo-Ki-Sa-Chi registered only in the Twilight's subconscious as she was too consumed to dwell on it*

* The dragon nodded at the question, as earth elementals tend to be of few words when they can help it. A moment went by, then he remembered something*
" did you want one of the arrows that hit me? maybe that could help you in saving Ress, if you can prove its not one of his... He is a lot like Bo-Ki-Sa-Chi.. though he was a little... manic.... he was still a good man and great emperor."

One remains? That's great! I would love to take it off of your hands if you'll let me. Does it look like Bo-Ki-Sa-Chi's or more like Ress, you think? Perhaps it's a hybrid style. Did the previous Emperor fletch his own arrows?
*she knew she was asking a lot of questions, but Lirimana just had so many! It was all she could do not to overload the quiet Dragon with them all at once. This is a physical clue, though, and maybe she can prove something important with it. Words alone are only so good, especially when your opponent is a fairly competent public speaker*

* Quar simply reached behind him and pulled the arrow out of his back, handing it to the copper spider.
It was nothing special, a frog crotch arrow made from ash wood with a common bird feather for its tail.*
" Bo-Ki-Sa-Chi make arrows? I suppose you could say that... I remember him being a golden god, producing arrows from pure essence and shooting them at those who wronged him, so yes, this arrow is definatly more like Ress'.... but at the same time..."
* He tilted his head some as he looked the arrow over*
" No.. it dosn't look like Ress' arrows... he uses standard broadheads, not frog crotch... thats weird"

*Lirimana took the arrow into her hand and looked it over. It sure was a frog-crotch arrowhead*
Ress uses broadhead? Could that mean that Bo-Ki-Sa-Chi is somehow in control of Ress's body and actions? Do you know how that would work out, Quar?
*Lirimana frowned a little as she thought about it. Also, if Bo-Ki-Sa-Chi used arrows made of his own essence, then this couldn't be one of his because this was an ordinary arrow in her hand. And according to Quar, these were the arrows used, so it would show another contradiction. However, if it were Ress shooting, why would he use different arrows that were the same as his previous incarnation's? That couldn't be a coincidence, and she didn't even know if Ress knew about Bo-Ki..*

" I am not sure if Bo-Ki-Sa-Chi could command Ress's body... since he is currently within the Imperial Manse.. but there is a lot I don't know.. I am a simple Jokun after all."
* He thought a little at Lirimana's comment.. then spoke up*
" Bo-Ki-Sa-Chi also used broadhead arrows, if I remember correctly... he said 'they are the best all around... Frog crotch are fine if your targets are unarmored.' "

In the Manse? Then I want to talk to him next. Well, you're also an Elemental Dragon, so that makes a difference. If in some way Bo-Ki has an effect on Ress, I need to find out..
*not that it was any real surprise, since this did seem to be a premeditated event, but the targets were definitely unarmored. Since Bo-Ki seemed to be an influence, it would make sense that frog-crotch were used if that were his preference..*

*The dragon nodded, understanding what the Twilight said and following the implied order. He turned around to face the huge pyramid structure that was the Imperial Manse*
" Then I will call him...Sentinel! We need you!!!"
* Quar bellowed out to the golden structure*
* Within moments, the glowing golden form of Sentinel appeared before them, a puzzled expression upon his shimmering face*
" Yes? What can I do for you now?"
