OOC: Its probably about time that I added my 2¢ to this story. It starts back after Carenath's ascention. When I found out that Maekrux ended his life. My memory is rather bad, and I only have the chatlog of the conversation between Carenath-Ziroth and Maekrux yesterday, so, events are not entirely accurate, some bits may have been left out inintentionally.. and other errors are present, but this is what I remember.
IC: (The day after the ascention - finding out)
I woke up the morning after my first flights as an adult, Sha'to, the biped friend of Tyroth, kindly made me a Steel Rune Stylus which I needed to complete the Khutit form quest. I had heard from Ulkjen, a Sslik child, but a good friend of my Guild Master, that my A'meo Maekrux took his own life after an argument that ensued on the terrace of his Lair as I slept. So I returned to the lair, to find blood on the terrace, and shattered Runes.
Unsure what to make of it, I went looking for the rest of the family. I found my nephew Ausixen, and my brother Nidhogg in Dralk, so I headed there to tell them what I just discovered.
Niddhogg mind-spoke with Miira and relayed what she said to me. She said that Maekrux had called the meeting, said who had attended, and said that Maekrux had taken his own life. That he removed the Runes that bound him here, and he was torn appart.
I already held a bitter dislike of Miira and didnt trust her one bit, so I didnt accept what she had said through Nid, he told me to talk to others of Tsargoth's family and ask them.
(the next day - confronting Gald, Merc and Ski)
Still seeking to find out the truth of what happened to his father, he sees that Galdethriel is awake, I ask her if I can meet her, to speak to her about what happened, she agrees, so I fly to out to meet her. She was with Mercurius and Skyliark at Granitefall. I asked her to tell me what happened, she told me the same thing that Miiralaeuntryr had said, that he took his own life. I fought back a growl, blasphemy I thought, how could these two, two that I once considered family say such horrible things about my father.. I told them that I disliked Miira, which enlisted a harsh response from Skylairk. I needed time to think about what they were telling me.. it didnt make sence.. it wasnt like my father.. I would have to talk to others.
(that night - Maekrux returns)
As I was sitting on the mountain peak, thinking to myself, pondering the events, Maekrux called me, he was alive.. he had come back. He asked me to meet him in Cloud's Reach, Chioxin's lair in Harton. I ported to Harton, and flew to the lair to find him inside, alive and well. We discussed the previous events, and began to reconstruct things. Maekrux had concluded that others conspired to murder him, he seemed to blame Aika and Miiralaeuntryr and others who were present at the time. I couldnt accept this so easily, so I told my father, that I would continue my questions, and get to the truth of what happened. He told me, to stay out of this "war", that he did not want his family to get involved. This wasnt a problem for me, so I left to return to Heather, to snooze on the roof of the shrine where Aika and Hraefn often gather.
(a day or so later - Speaking to Tsargoth)
Seeing Tsargoth had awoken, busy as usual with guild business, I mind-spoke to him to ask him what had happened, still not trusting Miira or the hatchlings version of events, suspecting that Miira had corrupted them. Tsargoth, my trusted friend, confirmed what I had heard, to my dismay. Maekrux had indeed done this to himself, I was heartbroken, betrayed, my own father had rather taken his own life, then confront his mistakes and problems like an honourable soul. He couldnt believe it. He still loved his father, but, yet, he felt like his trust and respect had been misplaced. But he couldnt just disown him, no, it would have to wait to see what happened, perhaps there was a way to save face.
(that night, I think - Zexoin returns)
Zexoin, though not related to Carenath directly, was like an uncle to him, he himself, a son of his Guild Master of whom he had grown close too since Zexoin had introduced him to me a few weeks before. I flew to Zexoin's lair to talk to her about the events that had happened, hoping to get some much needed advice on what to do, he told me, that whatever happened, he would be there for me.
(the next day - Warning the others)
The next day, I decided, that I had to betray my own father, and warn my other family of his intentions and his return. I found Mercurius and he told me that Shian, himself and Galdethriel had ventured to Harton, to attune. I was almost furious, but I held my temper back.. I knew Maekrux had returned, and I was fearful of what he would do to them if he had caught them, I shifted about uneasily still wrestling with my concionce, deciding if I should come forth or not, but this action told me I had to. "Maekrux has returned" I told him, "He came back a few days ago, and called me, he blames those at the gathering, particularly Miira and Aika, for his murder".
Merc insisted that he tell everyone. I told him we have to be careful about this, that I was taking a risk in just telling him, that Mae may well come after me for betraying his trust. I told him I would warn the rest of the family, and seeing that Tsargoth was awake, I set out to Cresent to warn him.
At Cresent, I told Tsargoth what I had said to Mercurius, and he told me it would be best if I was not seen with him, that it may draw Maekrux's suspictions, and that it may be best that I lie low in my Lair till events blow over. But I am not a dragon to hide away like that. I returned to Zexoin's lair to let him know about Maekrux, he told me he was thankful, and that he and the family, would protect me, if Maekrux felt a need to seek vengence on me too when he finds out. I thanked him, but I knew I also had the protection of my guild.
