Azix chuckled at Ayero's reminder of his own nickname, unfortunately given to himself in an inebriated state.
"I'm doing fantastic with Ari home. She is doing well, though she seems worried about leaving Magnostadt with Lilly near there." Azix noticed that Ayero was a bit distracted when she didn't tease him as harshly as he expected. He shook his head,
"No, I thought I'd avoid making a scene this time." His reply was followed by a laugh, remembering how he had urinated on someone, mistaking them for a toilet. Alcohol and Azix certainly did not mix well.
Ayero's question surprised Azix and he leaned back into his seat to think on his response. He was hesitant to tell anyone else about the Djinn, it was a fearsome power that could be easily misused. A power great enough to change the world needed to remain a secret. There were several people Azix could think of that he would not want possessing such a power. Yet, Ayero was not one of those people. Azi believed he had gauged her character accurately through all their encounters and felt they shared similar hopes for the future of the world. If there was anyone he could think of that had the wisdom and strength to use that power for good, it would be Ayero.
Azix sipped his tea and set it down in front of him with a sigh. He gave her an odd look before he leaned forward and lowered his voice.
"I received some training with a sword from Madam Trixie and her men a long time ago, but that doesn't have anything to do with the power you speak of. I assume you've heard of dungeons?" He waited to see if she had before continuing,
"A different realm exists within them and they are filled with many challenges. Not all seem to be alike though. Anyway, a powerful being called a Djinn exists at the end who grants power to those worthy of it. What you saw back there was me assuming the form of Cimeies, the Djinn I hold within this necklace." Azix lifted the twin-dragon pendant from under her shirt and held it out so she could look at it.
Azix pointed to the necklace,
"Cimeies' magic scares me, with it I can create deadly plagues. I don't know what the other Djinns are like, but if there power is anything like mine, they must be deadly." He let that fact sink in before he continued,
"I was told by Cimeies that it is the power of Kings, those that will make a great change in the world. I'm telling you all of this because... I believe that if you wanted to conquer a dungeon, you would use the power appropriately. I would even help you, with my experience I'm certain we would survive." Azix grew quiet for a moment and ran his fingers through his hair,
"Assuming I survive this rebellion, I have dreams for the future of the world and I need allies to help with that. Reim is just a stepping stone on my path to cleanse this world of corruption and inequality." He brought his cup of tea to his lips and took a long swig of the liquid. Azix realized he had been rambling about things most people considered impossible and boring.
"I apologize for rambling on, but I hope that answers your question."While he had been talking, a man sitting at the table behind Azix had been listening intently. The words 'Djinn' and 'power' hooked him to the conversation. He waited patiently until Ayero handed Azix back the necklace before making his move. In one quick motion, the man stood up and spun around, his arm reaching out to ensnare the necklace with his
Thieving Fingers.
Azix saw a blur of motion out of the corner of his eye and reacted instinctively. He clutched the necklace with one hand away from the thief and raised his other arm to block the attack. Magoi coursed through his raised arm and Azix manipulated the tissues to stretch, forming a
Shield. The orange magician shoved his necklace in a pocket and retrieved his wand. He aimed the
Rod of Pestilence at the thief, but the man bolted after his failed attempt.
Seeing the thief run out the door, Azix looked at his arm, mildly shocked at this creative use of body manipulation. It never ceased to amaze him that altering his body was an instinctual thing, yet magic required more focus and dedication for him.
