[telaari]

Who: Alexstrasza & the Red Dragonsworn
What: The Red Dragonsworn need to figure out a chain of command that works for them. Vas has gathered everyone together to do just that.
When: July 30th
Where: The Ruby Sanctum
Warnings: Politics, personal and not.

"I have no doubt that you are wondering why I called you here."

Vastania stands at the edge of a circle of boulders twenty feet across. To her side is the Dragonqueen herself, and they both look outward at the gathered Redsworn. "It has become clear to me that we are without direction. We all do as we will, and not what is best for the whole. This must stop here and now. To continue to wander aimlessly, to pick off only a few demons at a time at our leisure, to fail to work as one - these are the things that will kill us. These are the things that will leave us divided and weak, and easy prey for the Legion."

The Vindicator takes a breath to calm her nerves, and continues. "This circle behind me is our meeting hall. It is here that we must decide how we will conduct ourselves. Those who enter the circle will be bound to certain rules: one may not sit, sleep, eat, or drink upon entering the circle. Should you enter and then leave, you will not be allowed in again. Should you grow weary, you must leave. Should you become violent, you will thrown out.

"These rules are harsh, but if you follow them, you will be allowed to speak your piece. Your opinions will be considered and weighed, as an equal. If you do not, you will have no say in any matter we discuss. Those who will not comment on policy do not deserve to set it." She stomps a steel-shod hoof against the ground, tail held high and proud.

"Come, let us all speak. Let us all decide, together, how the Red Dragonsworn will be led."

Comments

Valamia had been trying to pay attention. Pay as much attention as someone could when trying to make actual progress in the meeting. The tones and words from them are easy enough to pick up and it was about time someone set the conversation straight. "Enough!" she turned to them, expression grim and a firmness in her voice.

"The case of not attacking other Sworn is something that can be figured out. That is to say, it seems perfectly agreeable not to do so unless it's clear they are a traitor to the flight. As for undead, understand that the Draenei have not had a encounter with a situation of a person being resurrected and it not being the result of a obviously evil force. As realized it is possible there are more forces that can bring one back to life beyond evil. If everyone would be so kind as to remember that each world does raise different problems and beliefs, we could try and move on. If it is time to side-track and see who can get under whose skin first. Those who desire to do that may wish to consider leaving the circle. Now."

A moment and she turned so Vas, eyes narrowed and her expression more grim then she had been giving the group. When she starts to address her, she's switched back to Eredun. "As for you. I would suggest after this you try and settle things with them. Every party is wrong but I suspect you would like to be an adult in this. Unless you truly believe the Light is the only right force in the universe. If you believe that it means you do not have to explain yourselves to others. In that case, you'll finally have become as deluded in your mentor and every other old Vindicator. The people that believes shamanism is a act against Light, the Broken are worthless and that only the Light is the answer. A person with their eyes shut tight and ignores anything they don't like."

Valamia had done a bit of talking in the ring, but Luke hadn't seen her snap quite like this before. He didn't think she'd turn around and basically start chewing out Vas. He didn't speak a lick of Eredun, obviously, so he just stared a bit, and then dropped his gaze to his feet.

"I really want us to get along," he murmured. "We have to, if we want to do anything. And I'm sorry for upsetting you, Vastania. I know I've been hiding a lot. I just didn't want you to think I was some kind of... monster."

He didn't think Valamia would jump in, but doing so was probably a good thing. It got Zelos to snap out of the tunnel vision and realize yeah, this probably wasn't the best time. They were all far too emotional, himself included.

It surprised him too to hear her chew out Vastania. He didn't speak Eredun, but he could tell from the tone and expression it was not words of encouragement. He almost even felt like he was eavesdropping, even if he couldn't understand anything.

So, properly scolded, he rubs the back of his neck and drops his gaze along with Luke. "Right...sorry. I'll focus."

Vala's words would have stung enough in Common; in her native tongue, they cut to the bone. Vas flinches, curling her hands up into fists and suddenly feeling very, very small. No, she wasn't Thoiir. She wasn't like him. She couldn't be like him. Not when he'd abandoned Vala. Not when he'd abandoned her...

She lowers her eyes, and takes a moment to think through what to say. "I... am sorry. I do not understand your worlds. And you... you could not have understood my Azeroth, or my Draenor."
