"Aha I see, I see. Maybe we should introduce Anthony to his daughter then[spoiler][/spoiler]

Chesh starts scratching his head with one of his large hands. Thinking about how that would end up. "Oh the daddy issues that would create. Though I think it would be more the father than the daughter. Daughter issues? Well I guess those issues would be resolved rather swiftly with a big magical sword to the stomach but maybe a few issues in the beginning" Ash just sits there confused as she doesn't quite understand things relating to family due to what she was. She just agrees not too sure what else to really do.

"If we hand over Alice, get them to meet maybe he'll back off. After all, he is looking for her"
-
"That, that could work too. We may not need it after all."
-
"Or, we could get someone to pose as her... Then take him out with the sword once they get close enough. We have a few options."
-
Chesh suddenly takes Alice's physical apearence though the dress was more reminiscent of his clothing. "That could be arranged. Maybe get them together and keep the blade in case. It would be a fairly useful assurance" Ash becomes curious about the blade. As to why Chesh seems to look at the blade like it was the answer to all the problems. [u]"Why are you so insistent that we find this sword of yours. Is it truly that special?"[/u]

"Ash, the Legends that swirl around it are many. They all have one thing in common. Pure, Raw power."
-
"There is a reason why a simple delirious girl fight a monster as she did. The sword, enjoys being used. Cherishes a challenge. It wants to fight more than its fighter. Win more than its winner. Swing harder than the swinger. It's made simply to be better than the one carrying it. Especially against that which is trying to destroy"
-
"See? Power. Raw power. A sword like that..."

Edited by ALIAS-F4LS: 1/30/2017 9:45:53 PM"So I see. That does sound rather impressive." Chesh walked up to a thick coating of vines and started clawing them apart. Behind them, an old gate stood still sturdy against the canopy. He pulled out a key he wore under his shirt and put it in the slot. A set of words began to write themselves on the gate. A riddle. [i]I am third in the sea, second on land, and also the second you find in a hand[/i] Was written on the wall. "What a strange method of security." [spoiler]Can skip this part buuuut it just seems Wonderlandy for something like this to happen[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Keep it.[/spoiler] [b]Royal sighed, looking down [/b] "What's with the damn riddles? I mean what kind of security is that even supposed to be?"
-
[spoiler]then let the guessing games begin![/spoiler] Chesh sits back laughing. "Why am I not surprised. They practically ripped off my own trick! Ah I'm not sure whether to be insulted or proud that someone would use my abilities as a lock."
-
"Your abilities? Rhymes aren't an ability anymore then they're a chores."
-
"Not when I use them. Words are weapons in the right mouth. Would you believe I won a fight by just talking alone?"
-
"So have I. Just gotta talk your way out of it, or talk for so long they give up."
-
"Not quite what I meant but oh well. The riddle wall seems effective in most cases" [spoiler]hints?[/spoiler]
-
"Third in the sea... Second by land.... Second you find in a hand? Dust? Iron? Hair!"
-
The door remained unresponsive. Chesh looks over. "You may want to buy a vowel"
-
"Oh haha real funny Chesh. You have any ideas?"
-
"Well I could take a guess if you'd like"
-
Edited by Royal Blade: 1/31/2017 12:02:27 AM"Go for it, King of rhymes."
-
"The third in sea, second on land, the second found in hand" Chesh rubs his hand against the riddle. Then confidently declares. "The letter A" The gate unlocks and then creaks open "Last time they use that kind of lock I'd assume"
-
"Oh dear that's genius! It's so simplistic, yet so complex at the same time."
-
"It's part of the cleverness. If the puzzle is unusual and frustrating they can't think straight. I've used simmilar tricks though it's usually a bit less forgiving" Once the gate fully opens Chesh starts to make his way in. Ash gets up ready to follow. "I'm not even going to try and rhyme this. Things could get messy in here. In truth the jabberwocky still lives but was pinned by the sword. Once it's pulled out the creature might lash out or it may simply sleep through it. I'm not sure which yet."
-
"If it wakes up, we kill the S.O.B. Again. Simple as that really. No reason to question it." [B]In Royal's hand formed a card with a sword on It https://imgur.com/mGv4sUr [/b]

Ash lightly smiles almost seeming as if she showed more emotion it would be laughter. "I believe from the books this would be apropriate to say off with its head?" Chesh just shook his head chuckling. "Well they deffinitely gotten that part of the book right" As they enter, the room gives way to a open field. Scratches and claw marks could be seen throughout the the coliseum shaped room. In the center laid the beast with what could have been mistaken for a knife if it wasn't so large.
