A Baby For Ransom

[Bethykinss 158]

A hooded figure suspends two small letters over tree branches beside the roads near Malinor, the writing seems to have faded and blurred slightly from the falling snow/rain. The hooded figure vanishes quickly after. The letters read...

 

"Dear Aeras, Alana or whomever may come across this letter,

 

Do not mourn,

Your baby is fed well and safe in my arms,

You have twenty-four elven hours to respond,

Please read carefully.

If you do not save your child within the time his fate will be out of your hands.

 

 To have the child you cherish so much returned to you, you must...

Pay a sufficient price. I will not name my price, I want to see how much you love your child. I want to see how much he is worth to you. 

 

Another thing I  seem to have failed to mention, others may also respond to this letter if they so
wish. They may also offer a price if they want the baby for themselves to raise, perhaps?"

 

The one sentence seems to be repeated at the end of the two letters

 

"If you do not save your child within the time his fate will be out of your hands.

 

                                                                        Sincerely, Anonymous."

Drake glances at the poster, shaking his head

 

 

"That's mean."

Isabella cracks her fingers, plotting how she will break the author of the letter.

Shaela seems to look to the letter for a time, a shimer of black light running across its eyes a moment... As if she remembered... Something. A reply is left there after in the crispest blue ink (that I can't write in because phone):

"To whomever this may concern, my name is Shaela Sacatria. What you have done is shameful to any of all those within our otherwise proud race, and hence forth I, to right your misguided and malicious efforts against our kind, offer to pay the amount of 3000 Mina's for this child's safe return to myself. If the parents of this youngling read this note or anyone else, you have my name, you may contact me, respond quickly and without tarry, sincerely,

~Shaela"

The Warden Kristian von Craw walks by, and, spotting the letters, his eyes widen.

 

"Crud... the poor thin'... I can't... I must..."

 

His eye twitches.

 

"There is only one way to assure the child is safe... and I will find the parents..."

 

He leaves a note in response.

 

To whomever it may concern,

 

The life of a child is not one to bargain with. This is... and evil action. It is only right to make sure that this child will remain safe, until the parents are found. The Warden Kristian von Craw is will pay 1850 1900 Minas to save this child's life. Surely that is enough.

 

*A signature and the seal of the Lumi'drim are here.*

 

Kristian feels at his pocket. He could not match the offer of Shaela, but he leaves the note. There was no other way.

 

"Nearly all my wealth for a child... yes... a child's life is worth that... especially in these troubled times. Evil times... with evil people."

 

He turns, shouting orders to the nearest Sentinels.

Aeras picks up 1 of the letters....

rage forms on his face... words of al languages coming from his mouth..

 

Slowly Aeras's Phoenix comes flying down...

As the Phoenix reaches Aeras.. He attaches a note..

It reads:

 

"Dear Beth...

I know you don't like me.. But take my first child? You belong to Iblees..

My kid is worth more than I can pay... Though ofcourse you want to hear prices don't you?

I will give you all money I have.. 759 minas is the amount.. 

I do everything to have my son back..

 

I would also like to note, that I noted your actions to the Order... Beth you are a Draoi.. 

 

Give me back my Child!

 

-Sincerely Aeras Ibar'ker,,"

 

The Phoenix flies away.. Going to find beth.

[Bethykinss 158]

The hooded figure tilts her head at the letters. The figure writes a reply after ripping Aeras's letter befor anyone could see,

 

"Dear Whomever, 

 

A person like me would never murder a baby,

A parent is not a true parent if they lose their newborn child and to pay such a poor fee for their child is terrible. I will accept an offer in 24 hours or less."

Mythras sighs: Seems he has hunting to do.

Alirya stares at the note through her helmet then slowly reaches up with her throwing then begins to cut out cunks of the letter

"Prey of the cheetah you have become"

[A Bunch of Mimics (Knyghtfalcon) 88]

Shi glares angrily at the letter.

 

"Children are meant to be taken care of and treated kindly, not held for ransom. To whomever wrote this horrific display of pure evil, I'll offer a full sum of 5000 minas for the child for his safe return. You are truly something of darkness." ~Orokana'Shi

 

He giggles, placing the note down and smiling. "Pffft... What the heck did I even write? It sounds like something I'd do anyway." He smiles and skips away. 

[Paleo 298]

Aeras adds a note.. 

 

"I will add 1684 minas to the offer that Orokan'Shi did... 

You are a Murderous and idiotic woman, beth.

I will not rest until my child is back in my arms..

 

To who ever it may concern.. the one pulling off these actions is Snow Druid Beth.. She is able to be found anywhere around Malinor.."

 

 

He stands next to the notes. looking for beth...

[Aerabula 11]

*Airwalk looks at the poster*

"Hmm... Maybe I can get more people to pool their money together..."

[Bethykinss 158]

The Hooded Figure would sit in a secluded area with the child. She smiles down at the child as she rocks him to sleep, waiting for the pool of letters to end at the roads near Malinor.

 

"Good boy. This is only a lesson for your parents. They must know you are a special child and that they shouldn't allow any strangers into their home without cautiousness. Oh, and your parent's are quite stupid. You should look after them when and if I return you to them."

 

((Will reply to the responses soon))

Dynasty blinks at the note who completely tells her name and all, thinking he has a lot of pain to deliver.
