Mikael smiled as he entered the town, the young drake, Darius perched upon his shoulder as he looked around happy to be here to help the city on their time of need. He was sure him and his creatures could help with the rebuilding a good bit. He then talked to some of the people leading the efforts to fix up the town and nodded agreeing to help them. He then moved back from people and pulled a scroll from his satchel. He then placed it on the ground and touched it causing light to pour from it and within a moment an owlbear stood in front of him. Mikael smiled and gave the owlbear some pets “hey girl, wanna help some nice people rebuild their town with me?” He asked getting a squeak from the owl bear as it nuzzled him
mikael chuckled and smiled “good thank you. I promise extra meat tonight for your help okay?” He asked as the creature made another noise before moving and pushing some of the old rubble out of the way so that the new buildings could be built easier. Meanwhile Mikael was helping organize what was needed for each home and such with a few others as the owl ears rubble pile built up

Post by Nieven Oakenthorn on Dec 12, 2023 10:07:50 GMT -5
Nieven tried his best to put on a fake smile as he strutted into the town; this is not exactly what he wanted to be doing at this time; however, any person who wanted to be a noble needed a good reputation. With a heavy heart that would mean that although Nieven didn’t necessarily want to spend his afternoon doing icky ‘grunt work’ he would have to if he wanted to rise among nobility once more under his own identity. He had already helped out hammer in a handful of nails with Everett so doing this shouldn’t be that hard, could it? He simply pushed his thoughts back and focused on putting up a good image and getting this done as quickly as possible so he could head over to Chateau Feine and relax for the rest of the day.
He glanced over at a fellblood fellow summoning a cute owlbear to help out as he walked towards some people and asked for what he should help with. He was told to help carry building supplies around to people and Nieven simply put on another fake smile while on the inside he was screaming about how much work that would be. Quest Name: Putting it Back Together
Participants: Two or more
Location: Ashlands (Darkveil)
Post Requirements: 4 posts per person, 200 words per post
Reward: +1 Renown
Description: Darkveil was hit the hardest during the events of Vulcadreaus, with many of its inhabitants having fled the destruction. Now that things have calmed, people are moving back, only to find their city is in shambles. An effort has been put in place by locals, with help from those who remain of the Ashen Father gangs, to fix the city up. Assistance is being requested, with a long list of things to be done. Buildings are toppled, chunks of them missing, the ground has been split and ripped apart, with the streets filled with displaced and homeless. Whatever you can do to help, it will be accepted. Help rebuild the city, or offer food and water to the displaced. Clean the streets or help bring supplies in from other cities. No task is too small.

Mikael smiled and once a few things were in place he took a small break with the other workers, letting some kids ride the owlbear or play with her a little bit before they went back to work. Not overly tired for a break though Mikael looked around and noticed the sylvan male walking over with a smile “hello! Do you need help carrying some of that?” He asked tilting his head a little curiously. Darius looked at the other from mikaels shoulder seeming to tilt his head in unison with his owner. It was rather easy to tell who had raised the young creature by its mannerisms
Mikael wore his heart on his sleeve and it was easy to tell he had no ulterior motive. He is as his mother had raised him, with kindness and honesty. It was a bit worrisome however to be back in darker as that was where he was from when his mother ran away with him from his father, a member of one of the big families. He also felt a bit bad as he hadn’t found sable to tell him before he left but the people here needed help so he would help how he could

Nieven tried his best to keep up his slight smile while on the inside he was just boiling with anger about carrying such heavy stuff. Although it was about twenty pounds, still to the sylvan elf this seemed like a waste of time. His talents were much more useful in the behind-the-scenes planning of the lovely decorations for Winter’s Crown. However, instead here he was struggling to carry a box of nails, hammer, and other assorted construction supplies. He simply was inside his mind mulling his situation over when he heard someone call out to him. Nieven almost dropped the box he was carrying as he snapped back into focus turning to face the person he had heard earlier, the same fellblood he saw summon that adorable owlbear to help out.
He grinned as he heard the man offer his help and said, “Why hello there, I would appreciate help with this thank you very much”.
He then handed the other man the heavy box and dusted himself off from any filth he’d caught from carrying it.
He then looked at the man once more, “Oh but my apologies friend, I haven’t introduced myself, have I? My name is Nieven Oakenthorn. If you didn’t know it well, you do know so you better not forget it. I mean how could you forget someone so beautiful, handsome, and just generally the best? What is your name there fellow?”.

Mikael nodded and took the box happy to help the other. "Oh? A pleasure to meet you! I am Mikael Mooreson it is a pleasure to meet you Sir Nieven" he smiled. He then tilted his head a little at the others self compliments and such but his smile didnt falter "Ah I suppose you are quite good in looks" he remarked considering this as he then looked around "ah where is this box going?" he asked not sure where to place it. He wanted to make sure everything got to where it needed to go. After a moment he looked back at the other with a smile "So are you a lord of this city then?" he asked with a curious look on his face
He rather enjoyed learning about others and though it was a bit unsettling to be in the ashlands when he hadnt been there since he was a child, and it wasn't a great expereince. He however shook off the thoughts and feelings. The ashen fathers didnt know he was here and the one who was his father hopefully thought he was dead or at least not dumb enough to return here like he had done

“Nice to meet you there Mikael Mooreson, it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance as well as I’m sure it is for you to meet me”.
His smile turns into a wide grin as the other man compliments him, “Why thank you there Mikael it’s good to see that you are a man of clear good taste”.
He then turned his head thinking back on the foreman’s instructions, “Eh, I believe we are to drop this off in the middle of the site so the workers can all reach it if they need to get more tools”.
Nieven then simply chuckled at the other man’s comment, “Oh not yet Mikael but one day after all I have just begun my adventure. As much as I’d like for Charon to recognize my obvious greatness it takes time for the world to catch up. I was formerly a noble of House Oakenthorn but now after a series of unfortunate events, I am determined to make myself a noble on my terms and strength. I want to run a business and really show everyone that I'm not like my pathetic excuse of a father. What about you Mikael, what're your aspirations?”.

Mikael smiled at the others kind response brushing off the narcissistic ending to it as he looked at the other man curiously whilst listening to what he had to say. He chuckled at the others response to his compliment and smiled “I’m glad you think so” he nodded soon listening to what was needed. And where to drop the tools, he nodded and walked it to the middle of the site setting it down once there with a kind smile to all the workers before returning to the other and listening to his words “that’s quite a remarkable journey I wish you luck in paving your own path” he remarked as he thought about it
“Personally I wish to help the creatures of this world, from helping wounded ones, sheltering ones who cannot stay in the wild, and finding new species to learn about and discover” he said happily with a bright smile. He was never more passionate than when he was talking about his creatures and dreams. Darius let out a happy little chirp from the tieflings shoulder at that seeming happy and in agreement. “It’s probably not overly exciting to most but it makes me happy”

Nieven smiled as Mikael continued to pay close attention to him and compliment him as he so deserved.
“Why of course my friend I know so anyone who’s able to see greatness right in front of them must be truly wise and intelligent. Although I know I’m amazing and downright perfect, if I do say so myself for some odd reason most of Charon does not seem to think so. Which I think is fairly annoying but alas one cannot be too overconfident. I shall win over the entirety of Charon and make them see just how great I am by continuing to shine as bright as I do. Thank you for your well wishes although it’s expected I appreciate it nonetheless".
“You tend to animals, is that so?”, Nieven asks, a little curious, “Are you some sort of animal physician? Monster and Beast Researcher? Or just a simple fan of any matter of creatures. I did notice that owlbear cub when I walked in, is it yours by chance? What made you interested in such a hobby? I think animals and creatures are fairy neat not as neat as myself but some do have their charms indeed”.

Mikael chuckled a bit. The others reaction was cute like a kid dreaming big. “If I may give some council, I would keep the self compliments in your head. Some may see it as more than confidence and that may cause some of their disdain. I think you will achieve your goals better this way” he daid softly making sure to speak in a polite and kind way to avoid offending the other.
“I suppose I am a physician for them yes. I also try to be a caretaker and protector for them. Many are misunderstood and hunted for no true reason but fear. I try to prevent that. Research is mainly what I do” he smiled nodding as he heard the other ask that as well. “I suppose I am a bit of a fan as well but I’ve always loved creatures. I suppose a part of me related to them. Trapped, hunted, wanted for value not their selves.” He trialed off on that thought and smiled at the others next words “I have quite a few if you ever wish to meet more. Luna is one of my newest rescues and is growing into a fine strong owlbear. On my shoulder here is Darius, the first creature I rescued” he explained as the baby drake gave a little noise of greeting

Nieven took a moment to listen to the man’s fair advice before speaking in his normal gallant tone, “Although I can respect your opinion, I must say if I do not compliment myself who will? After all, no one else seems to notice my greatness so I leave the duty of bringing myself up to the one I trust and love the most, me of course. I will achieve my goals not because of someone else or because I was handed them but because I am great and will pave the path to victory for myself alone”, he chuckles softly, fairly amused at his attempt at a joke.
He then focuses on the conversation about the other man as much as he’d like to keep talking about himself; it was rude to just ignore the other man.
“A physician you say? Interesting so your thing is the healing and care of creatures right? Research sounds interesting, have you made any groundbreaking discoveries?”.
He isn’t sure how to respond to the comment about being similar to them so he instead offers his sympathy, “I’m sorry to hear that you had to deal with that growing up, one should never feel like that and you have my deepest empathy”.
He then gives a curt wave at Darius, “Aww he looks quite cute the little fellow does indeed. I’d be interested in meeting more if they’re all as well-behaved and nice as Darius and Luna here”.

“But people will praise you if you show them your skills and such I’m sure” he remarked though didn’t say more on the topic not one to argue over such things.”yes I heal them and release those that wish to leave back to the wild” he nodded with a small smile”I was working on oozes and their lives for my last research. They are quite fascinating” he explained thinking back to finding them and fighting off the poachers with the noble sarne.thr creatures had truly fascinated him.
“Ah it’s alright. At least thanks to it I have made many amazing friends and met so many wonderful people and creatures on my travels” he said with a smile. He had always looked on the bright side refusing to let the bad things get to him too much. “They are all quite nice” he nodded with a smile “I only have a few with me for traveling but you are more than welcome to visit the sanctuary anytime as well. It is in moonglade though so it’s a bit far I’m afraid” he explained. Mikael then held out his hand and Darius flew onto his palm looking up at the other “you may pet him if you like”

“You’re correct people will praise me whether I show my skills or not after all being this pretty and handsome itself”, he said completely missing Mikael’s point.
He then mulled over the other man’s recounting of his occupation, someone interested in creatures was fascinating indeed. Although he was morally neutral on critters he tended to view the especially terrifying ones like moths and flittens in a negative light screaming in terror at the sight of one.
“That’s incredibly kind of you dear, it’s not an easy task to take care of such creatures so it’s nice to hear you’re looking after them. I haven’t seen an ooze firsthand but I’m sure they must be lovely. I mean they look fairly odd but I respect them for just being them, you know?”.
“I’m glad your travels have brought you fortuitous results. I, being an adventurer, can say the same. I’ve raced in a great competition, entered a perilous bog, saved several waffles from their trap, and generally experienced some of the most amazing things ever. I’d love to meet the rest of your lovely pets. I hail from Moonglade myself, The Oakenthorn Family Estate in the Crescent Isles to be exact”.
He was taken aback as the other man permitted him to pet the cute-looking drake but simply smiled and attempted to pet Darius.

Mikael chuckled softly leaving the topic be for now. Perhaps he could try and make the other understand at another time.he then nodded with a smile “thank you and yes being one’s self is good” he agreed surprised by some of the more sensible things the other said at times. He was quite interesting that was for sure.his ears and tail then perked at the others words “that sounds amazing! Sounds like you are doing well in your adventures! Oh and that’s great! I live on the isle as well! I can show you the sanctuary whenever you like then” he said with a bright happy smile on his face. This man was different from those he met before with his actions and behaviors. Certainly quite different from sable. It was perplexing why he always compared people to sable. He didn’t mean to and he certainly missed the other though it hurt less as time went on.
Darius looked at his hand curiously and sniffed it, his tongue doing a little flick before leaning into the pets with a semi purring type noise at the attention. Mikael smiled at that glad Darius was doing so well

Nieven beamed with excitement as the other man revealed he was also from the greatest place of all time, the Crescent Isles.
“Oh my goodness another crescent islander I knew I liked you for some reason my friend. Why is it even more of a pleasure to meet you, where do you hail from exactly? I’m from the illustrious Starlight city born and raised in the upper-class quadrant. I’d be delighted to check out your sanctuary sometime although I hope it isn’t near my family’s estate in the upper quarter. Considering I am currently not welcomed anywhere near it due to some unfortunate developments”.
Nieven then with some hesitation started petting Darius at first it was a little odd and weird but after a bit, he liked it and Darius.
“So Mikael Mooreson was it? Why are you here? This doesn’t seem like where an animal physician would be no offense. Where do you plan on heading after this, the forest? A tavern? Do you do adventuring on the side? I guess that would be a good way to meet other creatures considering the adventuring I’ve done so far has made me come across some terrifying beast. Oh, speaking of, do you have any sort of manner of terrifying creatures under your care? Such as baloths or adult drakes? What do you do if you run into them?”, the sylvan elf rambles on.

Mikael chuckled softly with a bright smile “I’m from a small town, Lunaris, outside of the city.” He explains happy to talk with the other even if his narcissim was quite high. Mikael looked beyond that and was getting to know the other qualities of the man’s personality.”you can come visit the sanctuary any time. Lunaris is just outside of starlight city I’m sure you are welcome there” he added
Darius made a purring type noise at the pets and nuzzled into the others hand happily enjoying the attention and pets from the other.
Mikael smiled at the two getting along before focusing back on the man as he heard his question “hm? Oh I’m here to help. No one deserves to suffer and be left with nothing. So I am here to help them rebuild. “ he said simply as if it was the most logical thing. Mikael had a heart of gold that was for sure. Even if it made no sense to others he would always try to help and give what he could.he tried to keep up with the questions “After helping here I plan on beginning the journey home. I haven’t heard any reports of injured creatures . I do some arventuring if it means helping others.” He was amused by the others curiosity and continued trying to answer all his questions. “I do not have any with me I’m afraid besides my owl bear. When I run into them I try to find a way past them without harming them. Usually my wooful and Darius here can help me avoid crossing paths with such things however”
