~~MEMBERS OF VALERIAN HOUSE~~
DOWAYNE: ??? (Mistress_Ice)
- Raine (Dulcea)


~~Description of House~~

When you enter the House you find yourself in a grand welcome hall completly decked out in darker colors. Purples and forest greens are common along with greys and reds and blacks. A heavy scent of incense hangs in the air and candles are abundant. Through some smoke you see the outline of a woman glowing with the light of candles all around her. As you approch you see she is holding tarot cards and seems to draw one and look at you. She grins and puts the cards face down on the small table next to her bronze throne.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This would be a very basic overview sine the Dowaynes are encourged to tend to their houses and basically create them. So, over to Ice!
Leena smiles at you as she sets the cards down. She looks at you cooly with her deep emerald eyes and looks you over from head to fin. "My my, the cards spoke true. Welcome to Gentian House my dear. Please, make yourself at home." Her voice is hypnotic and captivating. She waves a hand to the room when telling you to make yourself comfartable and she picks up the cards again. She draws a second one and places it down next to the last one. She glances at you from teh corner of her eyes and smiles again before tucking the cards away back in their royal purple velvet pouch and awaiting the other new arrivals. "Seek me out if you have any problems..."

Amargein stretches against the shell as he feels he has the strength to crack it. Yes....there it is. The first crack. Now, just a bit more, and he can be free...

From the outside of the egg it is an amusing sight. A head with white-blond hair pokes up from an egg, looks around, a bit dazzled at the surroundings...So much light! you can almost see the thought. Arms come up through the cracks, and finally a chest and fin. Red scales lead to a purple tail, which Amargein flips around, swimming to and fro looking around his new home. He excitedly goes here and there, and everywhere, trying to learn and find out everything at once. But having just come from the egg, swimming so much tires him.

Finally he stays still long enough to notice another creature in the corner. A sharp flash of recognition: This is a person like himself! She is doing something with cards. A name pops into his head. "Leena" he says aloud, moving over towards her.
Leena looked up at the new hatchling and smiled. Her sever half bun countered by the playfullness of her loose hair gave her a respectful but easy going appearance. She eyed the new boy carefully. Now was the time to figure out his powers before the Patrons found him out and sarted to seek his skills. Leena looked down at her precious cards. She was a fortune teller. Wheter it be her cards or her crystal ball that was her gift. Others in the house speciallized in the reading of minds, the reading of dreams, or fortune telling as she herself did.

Leena looked at the boy one last, considering time before smiling and nodding. "Yes, I am the Lady Leena. Dowayne of this House. May I ask what your specialty is young one and why you were brought here?" She fingured her tarot bag carefully and felt what his answer would be. She didn't want to say it though. She wanted him to tell her or, if he didn't know, she wanted him to find out....
The youth was rather shocked by the directness of her question. "Power? What?" he said without thinking. To him, all the world was new, and everything was an amazing power...the power to swim, the power to see, the power to feel with this nifty skin! "What exactly do you mean? Like the way I knew your name?" He cocked his head sideways, much like a bird looking at something interesting, and waited for her reply.
Leena giggled. She liked this youth. "Yes, that is exactly what I mean. Did you simply see it, or did you read my mind? Or maybe you've been watching my dreams from your egg...?" Here Leena giggled and waited for a reply. She liked this boy and was sure she knew a few good patrons who would too. The sooner they found his talents, the sooner he could be accepted and start with the patrons. She watched his long silver hair flow and brused her own deep red hair from her eyes.
"People can watch eachother's dreams?!?! WOW! That's neat. Can I learn?" he asked excitedly, before calming down a bit.

"No...that's not what you asked. I didn't see it. It just came to me. It was like I always knew it. Is that okay?" He seemed a bit nervous. Apparently everyone didn't share the same abilities. What if he met someone who couldn't swim. What a shame that would be! Or talk. Or...or....wow...there are so many things that some people might not be able to do. I wonder how much there is others can do that I can't! he thought to himself. He studied her face, trying to see if he could have anything else appear in his head, but nothing did. He wondered if he could force it to happen, or if it always would just happen like it had just then.
Leena smiled. The boy had alot to learn....

"I understand. You area seer. Now, Let's see if you need tools or not..." She swam from her throne over to a cabniet and opened it to reveal many brand new decks of tarot cards. "Pick one and lets see if these is your talent or not..."

((Mal, once Amergian picks his strength I'll grow him wink ))
((woo! My boy's growing up!))

Several decks were arrayed before him, with everything from fish to dragons to these strange creatures with two things coming out of their bodies where their fins should be. He examined the latter of these most intensly. They were beautiful cards, and these creatures! It looked like there was little water anywhere in their world...and that which was there was in strange places...UNDER or just around the ground. What strangeness!

"May I look at these?" He asked, and then at a look from Leena, picked up the deck. He shuffled them, somewhat wondering what to do. Then, all of a sudden, an idea came to him. He spread the cards before her.

"Pick...um...five? No...six! Pick six, if you please." He looked bashful.
Leena looked at him amused. The boys strength was simliar to her own. He knew things but only at random times while when he was using an intrustment he could tell them more clearly and more controlled. She trusted the cards even if she preferred her own deck when telling her future but she picked six carefully. Slelecting the ones that called to her as she always had done. Know was when she would see if the boy was playing around or if the cardxs really were calling to him. "What do you see?"
Amargein laid out the cards in a line, face up.

"Well...there are pictures on each card...and some of them are upside down...so they must mean different things than the ones that are right side up..." he reasoned aloud.

The first card showed a treasure chest, with two people attached to it. There were chains running across the picture, and a light at the end of the dark tunnel that everything was in.

"Um...you live a life of temptation. But, it's you doing the tempting. Not anything tempting you. And they could stop if they wanted...it's temptation they do to themselves."

Amargein looked to the next card. It showed one of those people without fins...humans the word came to him...riding on a horse that DID have fins, like we do. He's holding a cup, and riding on the waves.

"This one...it means that the temptation has to do with love. But I don't think it's like...spiritual love. It's different."

The next picture was of a man, again one of those humans. He held a sword in one hand, his arms crossed against his chest. He wore a cloak with the stars on it, and a helmet with wings.

"Um. There are people who don't like that you do this. They want to stand in your way. To keep you from it."

The next card was on of those upside-down ones. It should show a pathway to a column, with flowers and trees on either side, and a pentacle in the top foreground.

"I don't know about this one," he said, cautiously. "Do you get money for this, and that's why you won't stop. It looks like it." He looked nervous for a bit, and moved on.

The next card was again upside down. Reversed The word came into his head. A man was sitting in a throne, holding a cup. The waves crashed at his feet, and he had a fish on his necklace.

"People come who think they have power...but really, it is we who have power over them!" he said excitedly, seeming to grasp the meaning of this one very quickly.

The last card showed a man with a stick in his hand, standing on a cliffside. Several more (six, actually) sticks were being pointed at him.

"Hrm...it looks like someone fighting for what they believe in, against all odds. Even though things aren't looking good."

He gathered the cards again, put them with the rest of the deck, shuffled, and set them aside. With an expectant look at Leena he said, "So...was that okay?"
Leena looked at him surprised. Not only did he have the same gift as hers, it seemed his gift was as strong as well. He had grasped the meanings of each card so easily. She knew Patrons would be lined up for this one.

"My my...wasn't that accurate." Leena smiled coyly and countinued. "Yes, I do tempt people but not in an evil way. I simply let the community know what new Marques have been bought and tempt people into...uhh...checking them out. The "non-spirtual love" would be the checking them out part. You see, that is our role as Namahh's servants. We worship Her by making love but the people who do not worhip her have prefrences. Some people come to us to help us in our prayers and in return they also get the fourtune read. So, you see, that is what our job is. I think you will make a fine speciman of The Sea Court. What do you think?"
Amargein pondered the new information he'd been given. He mumbled slightly as he was trying to work it out in his head...."So we're servants of this godess, Namahh. Must be a goddess of love or pleasure or something. And we do it by making love. But sometimes we read fortunes for people. Hrm..." Then aloud he said, "Okay...but I'm confused as to WHY we read fotunes for the people who don't want us for the other stuff..." As this was the first real confusion in his life, he wasn't taking as in stride as he could. His tail was flicking here and there, and he had quite the puzzled expression on his face.

((Ya know...I did an actual reading on your character to get that reading...and having not read the books, I have NO IDEA how accurate to the story it really is. heh.)
((Actually it was EXTREMLY accurate to the boks if not my character. wink ))

"We lend out our talents in return for payment towards our Marques. Wether it be our body or our art." She turned around to reveal her back that was covered with one very large and ornate tatto. "This is my Marque. Yours will look similar. When it stretches from your lower back to the nape of your neck it will be done." SHe then turned to face him again. "So you see, both arts go towards our Marque and freedom. We pray to Namahh becuase of how she Helped Blessed Elua. When he needed food or shelter she lay with strangers. We lay with strangers in remembrance and celebration of her. Do you see now?" Leena smiled helpfully.
The youth still had a bit of a puzzled expression. "Um...I guess. I'm sure I'll learn more as I get older. So," he asked, suddenly changing voice tone to something far more inquisitive and excited, "what do you do here all day? Just sit around and read cards and wait for people to come?"
